Thanks for the info, Frank. I did not feel the quake at work in Lakewood, NJ. However, other employees did get the jolt and we were all ordered out of the building and then sent home early. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Huh' />
