THE Earthquake

Or the train passing by. Whatever you want to call it. At around 1:52 PM yesterday afternoon, a 5.9 earthquake that originated in Charlottesville, NC shook the east coast. The earthquake was felt from North Carolina to New York. I was not one of those people and I'm kind of disappointed. Is that wrong?

My brother texted me at about 2 PM and asked if I felt that earthquake. Considering he lives in New Jersey, that was quite alarming. What was even more alarming was that my brother didn't text me back for about 15 minutes. I literally scoured the internet for information about the quake and quickly found out that it was nothing serious. I'm glad everyone is ok, but jeez, at least knock a pen off my desk or something. I never experienced an earthquake before and still think I haven't after yesterday, although I'm convincing myself that maybe I felt something just so that I converse with people who had.

An earthquake and a hurricane in the same week, that must be some kind of record. Although this hurricane doesn't seem to be a joke. Tomorrow we'll start lockdown mode here in the office and at the ballpark.
