New York Earthquake: Shaking While Eating an Almondine Pastry Near Wall Street
UPDATE 2:31 p.m. ET
Sitting in a Manhattan office a few moments ago, the building began to shake and tremble. I was just finishing lunch, downing an almondine pastry from the Financier across the street.
On the fifth floor of a downtown office building the computer screen began to shake. I looked at the wall behind me, and it was shaking too. I grabbed my chair, but it rolled like a bowl of jelly, with me in it. I turned to a co-worker to ask if someone had spiked my coffee.
Either somebody did, or we just experienced an earthquake, I said.
