"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Stay safe east coasters! I don't think I've felt one that big since moving out to SF.

Aren't you supposed to stand underneath doorways, or something?

In doorways or under heavy, stable furniture.

IOscaryN, sitting in a room full of cops talking about tactical communication is really making me rethink my contrarian ways.

LA buildings are a lot more earthquake-proof. The last I heard, the only building built to significant seismic standards in Georgia was Vogtle nuclear plant.

No one's calls are going through - everyone's calling family and friends at once.

Text are at least a little--I've gotten a text from my BFF, and sent one to her

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

People felt it here, too. We didn't, in my office, but the news is reporting dozens of calls about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Frank, we were probably most likely to feel it because my actual office area is on a beam that bridges two buildings across a street. A coworker said, "Am I drunk?? Or did the building just move???" Hee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Doorframes is what I remember from training as kid. The idea of getting stuck on the stairs terrifies me.

Because books.

We were out doing errands and didn't feel a thing! Maybe it doesn't like the Philly suburbs.

It happened around two, I'm guessing?
