East Coast earthquakes!

Yes, I survived three earthquakes yesterday. (I actually felt only one of them, but the newspaper says that there were three; who am I to argue?) The story is here. According to the paper, the early-morning quake was magnitude 2.6; the quakes yesterday evening were magnitudes 1.5 and 2.4.

My favorite earthquake-related quote so far actually comes from a thread on Facebook: "WHERE IS FEMA?" (Along with, "I thought it was the end. But then I had to get up and go to class.")

It amuses me that, with all the time I've spent in California, I've felt only two earthquakes in my life--one in SC and one in NC.
