I Feel the Earth Move

Just before midnight last night we had a mild earthquake.   We're on the fifth floor, so we could really feel the building sway.  It lasted maybe 45 seconds or so.  It was nothing compared to what we felt several times in Chile.  And that's about all there is to say about that.

Today is election day.  There have been several attacks across the country trying to disrupt things.  According to the news this morning, at about 4 a.m. a rocket landed in the yard where the state television building is, maybe a bit more than half a mile from us.  We didn't hear or feel anything from that.  So we'll see how the rest of the day goes.

Update: I read that it measured 6.3, which is decent, but it was well to the north in Badakhshan, maybe 150 miles or so away.
