A sorority sister in DC had some pictures fall off of her wall and shatter but that is the extent of her damage. She was shaken up though (pun intended).

Ahh Dee the elevator! lol remembering your story from the other day

I was sitting at my desk. I just finished eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (I kept wondering, how come you refrigerate jelly but when it's PB&J you don't have to?) All of a sudden I felt like I was swaying, and it wasn't a normal dizzy spell. I took my glasses off and thought "OMG 30 years later and NOW I'm allergic to peanuts?" My co-worker/sis in law and I were texting and I said "BTW either we just had a small earthquake or I need tubes in my ears"... I have problems with my sinuses and ears. She texted back that the news said we felt one. I went crazy! Another co-worker said he thought he was dizzy too. A lot of people didn't feel anything. It was so weird.

And yes this is comparable to someone in Cali or Florida or wherever seeing snow for the first time. I was SO excited, but so grateful that it wasn't larger. That tiny amount that I felt made me feel weird all day. I can't imagine what anything bigger, or even in Japan, feels like.
