I was in the office on the 20th floor in downtown Baltimore. We felt the first quake and was just wondering what it was when the second one came. Then people started to shout "evacuate!!!" We had had fire drills before so we all ran to the stairways. The evacuation was calm and orderly, but it was a SLOOOOOW one. It took us 10 minutes to walk down, which made us wonder if we would have a chance to get out if something had really happened to the building, for example a fire on the 5th floor :-(

You definitely don't want to be caught on the 20th floor during an earthquake :-(
