(forget which one). As he was doing his monologue, the camera jerked and you could see that the room shook. Carson very calmy said something like, "It's okay. Just a litle aftershock. Nothing to worry about." No panic at all.

so this one was really weird. I was lying on my couch watching a Detroit Tigers game when I felt like I was on a runaway elevator going down and the walls started undulating. A ceramic flamingo mobile started bobbing up and down. My Siamese cat, Boris, knew it was coming before I did. Several seconds before it hit, he was walking along the floor in front of the TV when he stopped, got a frightened look in his eyes, fuzzed up, and splayed his legs as if he was bracing himself for something. Turns out, he was. The epicenter was about 50 miles north of Evansville, Indiana, and was about a 5.0. No big deal for the west coast, but it definitely was for Michigan.
