V. freaky here.

Waiting for the aftershocks.

Twitter is hilarious. The news is useless.

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!

If I'd felt anything I am sure I would have just thought it was the T rumbling up Mass Ave or a big truck or something, but we didn't notice a thing.

I'm in Cambridge and our building had to be evacuated. The entire building was swaying. How reassuring!

My husband said his office building was shaking in Kendall. I was in Porter.

LOL! Hey, they wanted it to be a complete educational experience!

I first my first quake when I lived in upper Manhattan back mid '80's. Very early on a Sunday morning. I went back to sleep.
