I took the day off and was sitting on the couch playing a game. The house got a little wobbly for about 5 secs and I thought a big wind gust had hit cause the house made a slight creaking too. Looked up out the back door window and the trees were still. My g/f is from El Salvador and said they always had quakes there so I txt'd her and said "Was that a quake"? Her response was "YES!", so I picked my controller up and went back to playing my game. *shrug*

Only damage I have heard of was the Washington Monument being cracked in some places and some older brick buildings have partial collapses. Other than that, people just went on about their normal lives.... including the billions of gov't employees here getting out early due to an "event of enormous proportion". There's your budget problem right there. *rolls eyes*
