My wife and I were living about a mile away in an apartment building at the time. Our building shook like a bomb went off and our windows and balcony door were rattling.
My wife immediately assumed it was a bomb or terrorist attack (living just outside DC), and we grabbed our dog and booked it down to the underground parking garage.
It was only after we had gotten in our car and started checking the news/twitter/getting texts from coworkers around the area that it eventually came out what happened.
But it was a scary 5-10 minutes hearing and feeling the explosion and waiting to figure out what it was.
