For about 10 seconds I felt very faint vibrations in one of the walls in the room I was in at work. I thought it was somebody next door or above/below moving a giant file cabinet or something. Then my whole building (just outside DC in PG county) started to shake violently for 20-30 seconds, as people ran for the doors and evacuated. It was pretty scary, my first earthquake lol.

Scared the crap out of us. The house was shaking and rolling back and forth. Things fell and broke. Some water lines broke in my neighbor's place and completely trashed her nice condo.

Scared the crap out of the bitches in the bank. I didn't front though, because I'm a boss.
