Earthquake of DOOM!

[oyceter]

We had an earthquake! Everyone says 5.6 and I believe them without clicking the link because I am just that lazy.

Sadly, I had actually forgotten that it happened only twenty minutes after. I think I have lived on the Pacific Rim for too long. And my measure of Big Earthquake is "stuff falls off shelves and we have to hide in the car" from hearing reports of my family going through the big one in Taiwan in 1999.

Also, I think rachelmanija's flea infestation has come home with me.

In conclusion: DOOOOOOOOM

I thought it was really cool! But then it was my first earthquake.

Oh, that must have been really neat! I hope it wasn't too scary.

We once actually had an earthquake here, once! I felt it! But it was smaller than yours ... I thought it was just a big truck going by outside.

Huh, we just got another this afternoon! Thankfully smaller, as work is on the fourth floor.

I was visiting Stanford for a few weeks one summer. One night, I was awakened by an intruder shaking my bed. This scared me, and then I started wondering what kind of intruder would do something that weird. I think maybe at that point I figured out an earthquake was in progress.
