A lot of people are saying they can see the 'lean' from the monument. However, the camera is angled
someone should go to the top and put a level on the floor

That was a bit scary I'm OK, though, thank God...trying to check on people but a lot of my calls are not going through.

No damage that I can see but I can't open the 1st level rear door anymore...all that shaking shifted the house.

They haven't shut down the ride yet so it must be ok.

Too soon?

email received by HR

As you may be aware, the U.S. Geological Service is reporting that a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Washington D.C. area under an hour ago. Evacuations are occurring at certain Washington, D.C. locations as a precaution. Though tremors were felt in the NY/NJ area, we believe there is no reason to evacuate any *** facility at this time unless specifically directed to do so by Building Management.

We are continuing to monitor this situation and will provide additional information as needed

I guess they were annoyed the whole building was outside socializing in the parking lot

It wasn't an earthquake, it was just Obama's approval rating hitting rock bottom very hard

That was interesting to say the least. I went to visit my parents in WV and was standing in the kitchen with my Mom. The house moved so much that the chandelier started to sway and hit the ceiling and my mom freaked and ran into the basement to check on things. Errr Mom get outside not in the basement! :willy
