Reply #117: Sitting outside for lunch.

I was in the park, when the bench started swaying back and forth. I didn't hear the low pitched rumbling, but maybe it was drowned out by all the white noise. The waterfall at the head of the pond turned off suddenly. Then mobs came spilling out of the office building and hotel. A helicopter took off from the White House. Cops threw down their donuts to look busy. The hotel workers were shepherded back to work first. Big shots in suits patrolled for those lingering outside. Everyone waited and waited for the OK to re-enter the building. No hurry. It's a lovely day to hang around outside.
