Earthquake Yesterday

Yesterday, while I was peeing in a restroom on the ground floor, alone, I felt that the floor suddenly became the deck of a boat on the sea. The building rocked gently back and forth for a few seconds. I talked to myself: This is an earthquake, and I should stop what I was doing and take shelter at a corner of the restroom.

Then the emergency alarm went off. People started to evacuate the building, and everybody was outside within a few minutes. There was no news of whatever happened until someone turned on the car radio. Then we knew that the epicenter was located in Virginia, and US government buildings, including the Pentagon, were evacuated.

This is definitely not like the 7.5 Richter scale earthquake I had before, which was more violent.
