We had an earthquake Monday night at 8:47 p.m.
I felt something shake the house, but I dismissed it to thunder as there was a storm nearby. Interestingly, it was a 2.6 earthquake that resulted about 6 miles from my house.

We were at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital today in the 3rd floor waiting room and suddenly the building shook for about 3-5 seconds. Most people stopped wide-eyed and looked at one another. First I thought earthquake, then I thought building collapse, and now I am just not sure. I don't know of any new construction in the area that would result in such a dynamite blast that would shake this new high rise hospital.

That's a hiccup, not an earthquake.
