We are having construction on our campus. My office started shaking and I 
wondered what they were doing outside, but there was no equipment operating. No 
evacuation orders have been given. We are about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Subject: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!

True story:

So, I'm in the NYU library talking to the reference librarian and one of
the security guards comes over and tells us "The building is being
evacuated, you have to leave."  I looked at the librarian and she at
me and we clearly didn't know why.  The librarian told the guard
"There's no alarms going off, why should we leave?"

The guard said "The alarms will go off shortly but you have to leave
now."  The guard didn't offer any additional information. 

Well, after 9/11, if someone tells me to get out of a building, I'm
going to get.  It was several minutes after I left the library that
I hears about the earthquake.  Neither I nor the librarian felt
anything.  The library building is about 50 years old and I assumed
was somewhat earthquake resistant but better safe than sorry.

So, what are other Tipster's stories?
