The other evening I was on the phone with a friend here when she said - "Oh my gosh, it's an earthquake!" Simultaneously I felt the shake and looked up and saw all the clothes in our closet moving back and forth and a picture frame on our wall rattle. I feel like the movement lasted a good 6 to 8 seconds. If it hadn't lasted so long I would have tried to tell myself it was just some construction going on as there are so many high rise buildings being built around here. I just looked on the USGS website and found the quake - a 6.4 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter on the Myanmar - India border. Wow.
I hope this link works for awhile because sometimes they remove the link after 7 days:
