Sure did! Our windows shook violently this morning for a moment. I thought it was a sudden storm, a windsheer, or a thunderstorm.

I was in Powder Springs that night. Didn’t feel a thing. I woke up to news reports about it.

I slept thru it. My sister who is 3 mi away felt it.

Then my damn co-worker had to the nerve to tell me he didn’t come into work cause he didn’t think it would a good idea to be in a building with 16-21 stories. Never mind the building is actually over 50 stories tall. We just happen to occupy those lower floors.

I was like man - why you had to go put those thoughts in my head!

Yep!

I'm late, but I sure did! My daughter felt it too. We're in Cobb. It scared the bejesus out of me! I looked up evacuation procedures (stand in doorway, get under a table, etc...) in case it happens again!

Felt it [and was shook]!
Looked out of every window to see which tree(s) fell. Saw none; that was a slight relief because I had a whole 'nother scenario going in my head. Quickly turned on the TV to see what was up.
