Same here. I had some pretty good ripples in my coffee cup on my desk.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I thought I was losing my mind, or having a seizure or something. Then everyone in the office confirmed they felt it too.

Felt it pretty good in Princeton, NJ. The walls of my office are glass panels and it was like the walls were jello and I was dizzy at the same time. A feeling I have never felt before.
So do we now expect Irene and a tsunami? My kids are at the shore right now.

There was also one in Colorado as well, around the same magnitude.
Should we all start hoarding water, hot pockets, batteries and ductape?

while living in San Francisco, along with fellow east coasters, we laughed at how the Californians dealt with rain and snow.
I bet some native Califorinians would have a laugh at the posts on this thread. My wife went through a few 7+ on the 34th floor. 5.9 was a minor occurence that no one barely noticed.

Thanks to the earthquake, I've now had a female tell me twice this week that she felt nothing.

Interesting. I was sitting quietly in my office at work, fresh glass of water in front me, didn't notice or feel anything.

yeah, but only one you can can take personally...
there is a joke in there about 5.8 instead of larger magnitude, but it is beneath me
