TPierce (via email) Was setting at my computer at 10:54 when the desk started to shake and the monitor began to “walk” of the edge. My first thought was a plane low enough to cause that much vibration,and I was expecting the house to be hit. Not until after did I realiize what had happened. It is a terrifying expreience when the you dont know what it is.
