So I'm sitting at my desk here a couple of hours ago and the ground starts shaking ... I can feel it in the floor, in my chair, my desk, and my lamp is wiggling.

My daughter was running around, but there's no way a 35 lb kid is gonna shake the floor like that, so I asked my wife if she felt that. She felt it too, and we were both kinda wondering what it was. Really odd.

So, I just see this online (link below). Apparently, we just had an earthquake. It only lasted a few seconds, and I know it's pretty commonplace for folks out west. But, sitting here in NEO, and you feel the ground shake... not the floor... the ground... it was really weird!

From channel 5's site...

A small earthquake shook up parts of northeast Ohio Monday evening, officials confirmed.
Viewers in southeast Cuyahoga County and northeast Summit County reported that they felt the minor quake at 7:18 p.m.
According to the US Geologic Survey in Colorado, the earthquake measured 3-point-6 on the Richter Scale and was centered at latitude 41.22/longitude 81.21 or right at the intersection of Gray and Peck Roads in rural Portage County. This location puts the quake's epicenter about 5 miles north of the City of Ravenna between the Portage County Airport and the Ravenna Arsenal.
Residents report feeling the tremor in the communities of Macedonia, Solon, Streetsboro, Aurora, Twinsburg, Bath, Brecksville, Richfield, Kent, Broadview Heights and Garfield.
No damage was reported with the exception of a few rattled dishes.

Yeah, that's like right down the road a few miles. It actually shook our entire building for about a second.

The last earthquake I was involved in, I was driving and didn't feel a thing... so it was kinda cool to feel that.
