I felt it in State College. I was sitting on the floor of the student center (the HUB) and I just thought it was the trash carts rolling by, because they always make the floor shake a little. The only odd part was that although I felt the shaking, I didn't hear any of the normal scraping noises. I didn't think anything of it until the other people around me were like "did you feel that", which of course I did, but I figured it was localized. Then somebody got a text about how another class building was shaking too. I then went onto facebook (which honestly in situations like this is way more up to date/relevant than like CNN or BBC world news) and saw statuses of friends all up and down the East coast talking about it. It was strange.

I was super nonchalant about it until I realized what exactly it was. It was so odd. I can't even imagine what I'd do in a real earthquake situation. I also realized that besides getting in a door frame, I have no idea what's even safe to do. Time to google it up.
