I remember it because I was at my kid's school helping make pizza for a party lunch. It was a fairly long noisy one, and a lot of the moms thought the boiler was going to blow. It was quickly identified as an earthquake. When I got home, the cookbooks on the shelf above the sink were in it; other items had also fallen off the shelves. Lucky I was with a group because it would have really freaked me out at home alone. DH was in a basement office in downtown Cleveland and also felt a good shake.
