I'm <30 miles west of Mike Palij (320 miles northeast of epicenter; 40.761,-74.422) and the 100 year old 3 story colonial house-turned-office building shook for some time (as if the person above or below me was engaged in, ah hem, "romantic activities"). Campus buildings were evacuated until 3 PM, but I've heard of no damage. Patrick

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.
