That earthquake yesterday was scary!

In my office in downtown Manhattan (right across the street from South Street Seaport), the building shook quite violently.

All personnel were evacuated by the emergency stairs and had to wait outside (I guess I waited about 45 minutes or so outside the building once I and my co-workers had made it down the stairs from the 34th floor) until the FDNY inspected the structure's integrity.

Definitely an interesting afternoon in New York!

I was surprised to hear how strong the effects of the quake were in Manhattan. Up here in Rockland County it was negligible. Of course I always keep my fingers crossed that we never get any activity in the fault under Indian Point (why they keep building those things on faults is beyond me).
