I'm just across the street from the Courthouse and Our building shook. It was pretty scary since our building is over 100 years old.

Shook our building here in Salisbury as well. Would be interested in knowing the scale on it. Talked to an old timer who has lived here his whole life and never experienced that before.

Anyone know if they have done a tsunami warning for OC?

I literally thought my house was going to collapse. (Live in Salisbury) It was almost like the second floor of my house was caving in.

Shook a lot in the Washington DC area. But it was over quickly and back to work. Much to do about nothing.
