SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Howard likely felt it way more strongly than I did.
Actually Monday morning is one of my sleep-in mornings. I didn't feel a thing. My wife and son told me that the house had shaken and things were rattling in the cabinets. My wife thought at first that it was a low flying rotary wing aircraft, but soon realized otherwise. I have experienced a few earthquakes; 1969 in LA, 1993 in Cairo, Egypt, and one in Tokyo during which I was on the 15th floor of a hotel and sitting on the porcelain fixture. That is the only time that I can truthfully say that I had the s*** scared out of me.

It's Earthquake Day here in New England. It was centered just off the New Hampshire seacoast, so Howard likely felt it way more strongly than I did.
You don't realize how much glassware you have until it all starts rattling.
