East coast earthquake

[Selkie]

We were home in Arlington, on leave & enjoying the final day of a long weekend. Lasted almost a minute and I could feel the ground rolling. It was surprisingly strong. Aside from broken glass from a print that fell off a shelf, three upset goldens, and some askew pictures on the wall, thank goodness, no damage.

Last year, we had a less intense quake (more of a rumbler than a shaker---yesterday's was a shaker, roller, and rumbler!)

OPM gave us Federal Employees the option for "unscheduled leave" today. Several USG buildings closed pending inspection. Fellow federal civil servants, check the OPM website for details
