Did anyone besides ME feel the one last night? I was @ my job on the 19th floor and it rumbled and rolled..and I barreled out of there. It took me less than 2 minutes to fly down the 19 stories ( I kid you not). It hit @ 8:04pm and there were not a lot of people in the building which is why I got out so quickly (plus I used to run track and running stairs was part of the training). It was registered 5.6 and on the Calavaris Fault. Not here in the city but there have be several after shocks too.
