Earthquake

This afternoon - about 1pm or so. I was sitting on the floor and it suddenly felt like I was rocking side to side. "Curious," I thought. So I stopped perfectly still and realized it was the building moving, back and forth. It was over in 15 seconds, and I didn't even mention it to M (We were gorging on McD's), but I was curious about the cause. Turns out it was an underwater earthquake off Greece, magnitude 6.7-6.9. Here I am, 750 miles south, and I felt it. That's just plain cool.

Apparently it was also felt in Israel and Jordan. No worries - no injuries reported here, and only moderate damage to a some places in Greece.
