Earthquake!

So, I felt an earthquake today for the first time.  It was not a pleasant experience.  I heard a loud bang sound which was followed by the floor shaking.  I was at my desk at work.  Our office is located right above an empty, underground parking garage.  When it gets really windy outside, the floor already shakes under our feet.  It felt like that today only much worse.  I looked outside expecting to see the trees really bent over from the wind, but they looked the same as usual.  The woman who sits across from me then commented that this is what an earthquake feels like.  I was pretty freaked out and a bit scared too.  We didn't leave the building or even move from our seats.  We just kept working...or tried to anyway.  I'm pretty bummed that there was some significant damage to the National Cathedral.  I love that church.  It is gorgeous inside and out.  I hope that everything can be repaired.  Here are some pictures from the cathedral which I have taken. 

This was the tower that was damaged.  I hope that it can all be repaired!  This was taken during the Gargoyle Tour.
