We were sitting at our kitchen table and the darn house started to shake. I thought our boiler was going to explode so we ran outside. Now we know it was an earthquake.
Scary xxxx.

I was sitting in my office. At first, I thought the noise/motion was due to construction, but it lasted too long and got stronger. I started to wonder if I should evacuate my office and head outside (it stopped before I decided). I didn't realize it was an earthquake until it was over. Overall, it was a bit disconcerting (I suspect because, at the time it was happening, I didn't know what was going on).

A lot of earthquakes in the last few days...and very unusual for earthquakes in NE United States 
 
Maybe the planet is starting to shift to create the next new geographical map from the movement of the tectonic plates  :-??
