Shake, Rattle and Roll
Aug. 23rd, 2011 08:23 pmI know, I'm probably the bazillionth person to use that title today.
The folks from the office who come from California were all "oh, what a piddling little earthquake!" The native East Coasters, who are not used to an office building doing a shimmy, were far less sanguine. Heck, a lot of us were all "Wow, the window washers are enthusiastic. Hey, who's running around upstairs like a heavy 3-year-old, this is an office!? WTF FLOOR GOING UP AND DOWN LIKE A TRAMPOLINE AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!eleventy1!1!"
I was in the office next door to my own; when I squealed and popped out of the door my office mate shouted like the military officer she used to be "OUT! NOW!" and I went out! now! (although I scrambled back in for a moment to grab my purse when everything stopped moving).
Nobody hurt. No personal property damaged around here (I hear the National Cathedral's in a world of hurt, though.) No damage to my house and only one cat acting nervous and unsure.
All this and a hurricane too. Wow. Things are getting a tad Biblical around here. Does finding a dead cicada behind the sofa count as a plague of locusts?
