I was in my lab when it happened and felt like a car with octagonal wheels was driving down the hallway. Its out of the ordinary for us in the NY area though so everyone got excited. Hope that analogy helps

When it starts sounding like square wheels it's time to seek shelter

It was probably heptagonal but I wanted an even number.

I absolutely love this analogy. And I feel I may know fairly well how it felt.
