Seeking earthquake report here & now

I have never before actually felt an earthquake.
Just had everything shaking noticeably, long enough that I could ponder what the heck was going on, then call my mother, who was feeling it as well, and had also never felt an earthquake.
Neither of us heard an explosion... searching.

Ate Taco Bell last night after an evening of inebriation. Was sitting down dealing with the "Taco Bell Revenge" that gets ya the next day. Blared the ass-trumpet loudly as it came out, and when I was done with the trumpeting, still heard a rumbling and saw the mouthwash in the bottle on the countertop shimmer a little bit. I just went "holy cow this Taco Bell stuff is strong!"
Finished up and went back to my work computer and saw an e-mail in the inbox stating that an earthquake took place on the east coast and to report any system issues immediately in case any of our servers got messed up.

I felt it in my cube at work and thought a heavy dump truck was driving by.

I'm in Boston and was in a meeting at the time. All four of us heard two heavy booms/thuds around 2pm. The person running the meeting dismissed it and said it was just a paper delivery. Didn't hear about the quake until afterwords. Turns out he there was no paper delivery.
We're bracing for Irene to hit later this week. End times?

Being in Kansas, I didn't feel a thing.
But I was on a conference call with people in Michigan and Ohio, and they were able to feel it from where they were in both locations.

I've felt a couple in Indiana over the years from the New Madrid. Shook a couple pictures on the walls, woke my wife up. Nothing major.

The local geology likely softened and extended the effects. We are a former mine town (zinc, 1830s - 1980s).
Experienced a bit of gentle shaking, maybe a bit less then "massage chair," then rocking as it faded away.

That's what I get for rearranging words rather than retyping them. I slid through the sentence with my mouse a few times and saw "Experienced gentle a bit of shaking, a bit 'massage chair' less rocking then as it faded away," and tried to fix it.
