anyone else feel that?

ETA: It was just a little 2.9, but cool none-the-less.

Yeah I just felt it.  Im up in the PSU Library, 4th floor.  
I know everyone here felt it, people stood up and looked around confused. some people packed up and left.
 
At first thought it was from my energy drink, my heart was already beating kinda fast, but looking around I figured it was an earthquake.

...or some tannerite.

I'm in a one story brick building. It felt like a really heavy person running across the roof or something.

Yeah, it was listed at that link as 2.9 before the seismologist reviewed it. The 6.8 a few years back also was reported as several other numbers before they settled on one. A 2.8 is definitely quite tame, but I'm willing to bet it could magnify some of the land slide problems if the rain keeps up.
