I'm in Providence...the West End. Sitting at my computer and all of a sudden, my computer starts shaking. Put my hand on it to steady it and it didn't stop. Then I realized the entire desk was shaking. Heard a few strange sounds as well.

I am in Tiverton, and was sitting at my computer when i felt the whole house shake, my two dogs were going crazy about twenty minutes prior to the event, so i am sure they could sense it coming........it was kind of crazy to experience.
