Day 350: Earthquake!

I had a hectic day today...conference call at 11, lunch meeting at noon, and picking my parents up from the airport by 2:30.  I had a quick 15 minutes between lunch and leaving for the airport, so I went home for a bit.  I was sitting in my kitchen when things started rumbling.  It started out as soft rumbling, then louder and stronger, and then the house was shaking enough that I was scared things were going to start caving in on me!  So I ran outside and watched and waited.  Things slowed down quickly enough, but it was seriously frightening.  Little did I know I'd just experienced an earthquake. Since I've never felt one before, I thought it was an explosion of some sort. My coworker in New Haven texted me to see if I was okay, and he told me they'd even felt it up there.

The photo above is of the employees at major office building that had been evacuated due to the quake. Scary!
