I assumed that I was hallucinating the earthquake; nobody else said anything about it. Twenty minutes later, however, finding that I was still mulling over the idea, I gave in and googled "us earthquake."

A few seconds later, I went outside: "Hey, did you guys feel that shaking a minute ago?"

"Oh, my god, I did!"

"Yeah, I felt it."

"I felt it!"

We'd all assumed that it wasn't really happening. One woman decided that her chair was getting rickety, and switched to a different one.

That was kinda my reaction too, but sadder, because I looked to the cat for verification that reality just got weird for a moment or two. He is still stalking around the house trying to make sure it doesn't move again..I think.

I was showing my sister around the Capitol Building and for a second I thought a train was going by. But we were wearing the tour guide headphones and figured that it was just someone pushing a cart around. We didn't even realize that it was actually an earthquake until we went outside and saw a whole bunch of people evacuating the buildings all over DC. It was crazy!
