This is an earthquake, A what? An earthquake. A what? An earthquake. Oh, an earthquake.

I totally missed the earthquake that just happened. Dunno how much of that is a product of a) bulldozers tearing up the street right outside, b) being 600 miles away from the epicenter, c) being a jaded Californian who sleeps through temblors unless they're a Richter 6 or higher. Hey, I come by it honestly; my dad drove through the Loma Prieta quake and didn't notice a thing, so was very puzzled when his wife and kids were so relieved to find out he was alive. "I just left the office half an hour ago! ... well, everything's fine here, so I'm going to keep my tennis date with the neighbor, see you later!" He'd driven over the Cypress Structure maybe five minutes before it collapsed.

That being said, I doubt East Coast building codes include much earthquake-readiness/earthquake-proofing, so I hope everybody's okay out there!
