Wow, I *thought* I felt a mild earthquake here in Boston earlier today. My lampshades and curtains were shaking inexplicably.
After spending 3 years in Los Angeles, I'm familiar with the feeling, but never expected to re-experience it here--although we did once have an earthquake during my childhood in Connecticut. On a day we were having a grade school science test about earthquakes!
I'm actually in Cambridge too. I seriously think I noticed the tiny quake just because I recognize the signs from my L.A. days. Or maybe my building is just extra-shaky!
