Earthquake in Cincinnati????

While sitting at my desk today shortly after 11:00 a.m. I felt my chair begin to rock back and forth and my first thought was what in the world is going? Then I realized EARTHQUAKE!!!! Now I have never been in an earthquake before and had no idea what it felt like so this was a new experience for me. All I can say is I was on the fifth floor of a building in downtown Cincinnati and we were moving! It was actually quite interesting. To my knowledge no damage was done. It lasted about 15 or 20 seconds and then it stopped. Turns out it was an aftershock and the real earthquake occurred about 5:30 a.m. and I slept through it! Nice! The earthquake registered a 5.2 and the aftershock was 4.5. I can't imagine what it would be like to feel an earthquake that registered about 6.5 because the building was swaying at 4.5. Hopefully, this is the end of the quakes and all is well! At least I created a new memory!
