Everyone in Patrick's office flooded out into the street, like nearly everyone else in every other local office. Our trusty home shook pretty hard but Patti got the kids on the floor and protected them. One of our light knick-knacks came off the wall but that's it (thankfully). Will kept asking "why home shaking Mom?" but when Patti asked if he was scared he honestly answered "why?"

Quaken, not stirred
So we had our second earthquake in about a year around 1:50 p.m. this afternoon. We had a 3.6 in July of 2010 which was just a tickle compared to today's outright shove. The quake last year was 20 miles from home and today's was about 90 miles southwest of D.C. and lasted about 30-40 seconds.
