Earthquake rattles East Coast, no deaths

An unusually strong and shallow earthquake struck the U.S. East Coast and Canada on Tuesday, shaking buildings, forcing evacuation of office buildings in several cities and delaying flights in New York.

I was hanging out at my house playing guitar when I felt my house start shaking. At first I thought someone had turned on my dryer which is weird because no one else was home :0. A few minutes later after some confusion I assumed It was just me imagining things. Then later I turned on the news and to my surprise I saw it was an earthquake. Weird stuff! I'm glad no one got hurt!
