DD called from Philadelphia, she was a little freaked out. Was home and first noticed glasses and bottles in wine rack rattling (nope, she hadn't been drinking), then things rattling on walls.

A friend was at new teacher training in Arlington - she was really scared. They all got under their desks.

Phew, we are not used to these things on the east coast!
