So, this afternoon I was standing in my host's 4th floor office, checking out a map of China, when I felt the building sway. Or did it? I asked the others in the office - no one else felt anything. I felt fine, so it really didn't make sense that it could be a dizzy spell.
The "building is swaying" sensation continued off and on over the next few minutes.
Shortly after, the text messages began to come in.
Apparently, when you come from a earthquake prone zone, you don't notice the small tremors, like those generated over a distance.

I learned about the major earthquake in Western China from Scoble who posted about it ahead of most news media. New Scientist recently had an article that I wrote about on the New Florence blog titled Emergency 2.0 - about how social media is trumping traditional information sources when it comes to disasters. But this is not about bragging about Twitter.
It is nice to see the Chinese leaders immediately declare an "all-out" relief effort. Contrast this to what the Myanmar leaders have been doing with their disaster and some would argue how badly we handled Katrina.
