Shakin in the east!

Post by old_school »

Had our first significant earthquake in the NYC area today. It was crazy. I was on the 50th floor looking out the window at people in the tower next to us swaying like crazy and the people faces in the windows as they point at our tower because it was swaying just as much. the floor was bouncing up and down like a a gym floor mat. Who else felt this? it effected almost the whole east coast.
