Earthquake!

Yesterday afternoon, my boss was standing at my desk. He got a strange look on his face and then asked, "Did you feel that?"

He felt a faint shaking on the floor. I didn't.

This afternoon a little before 1:30 everyone in my office felt a mild shaking again. I still didn't feel it but I was walking down the hall at the time. Because there was nothing on the news, we wondered if it could be a defect in our building!

Then the news websites began lighting up with news of the quake near the New York/Canadian border. It was 5.5 according to one website.

It was felt all over the Rochester area and in other places as well, Boston, Buffalo, Toronto, to name a few.

The Medical Center, where I am employed, issued a statement that there was no structural damage to any University of Rochester property.

  2. It was buried on the foxnews website. The media is having a field day with this latest Obama blunder. Go to www.10nbc.com or www.13wham.com - those are our local news websites.
