I really thought it was due to the guys with the jackhammer outside my building hitting something important.

Oops. Yeah, I can see how that would be the first thought! And kind of no less scary, when you think of it...

The local news is full-on freaking out, though.

Ah yes, the desperate love of the 24-hr news cycle for anything it can possibly spin into an emergency or crisis. We get that crap every time there's a freaking windstorm around here. "STORM WARNING!!!" ...Honestly, if there isn't firewood flying at my house (which I have had happen before!), it's not a real storm. :P

Glad to hear there's no serious injuries or damage! The last update I'd heard before I went off my lunch break was that there was a bit of damage at the national capitol, but it sounds like all stuff that can be fixed.
