Shake, rattle, and roll

As you've probably heard, we had a pretty big earthquake here in Southern California (the epicenter was actually down in Baja) this afternoon. Thankfully, there doesn't seem to have been any serious damage. But the local news is full of videos people took of water sloshing out of their pools in waves, so you can imagine the force of it.

And, here's the damnedest thing—I was standing out in the front yard having a smoke when it struck, and I didn't feel it at all.

1 That rather begs the question of what exactly you were smoking.

We definitely felt it in Temecula.  Some good swaying with a few creaks from the house.  Fortunately we're far enough North that it wasn't that strong, but we moved for a good 30 sec.

Friends in San Diego in the taller buildings are affected though, with elevator service issues and some broken glass and the like.

4 We actually do get earthquakes in PA, in the technical sense of the word, you might feel a tiny shudder for a second when it happens.

Between living in CA on and off over the years, and living in Tokyo for a while, I'm so used to earthquakes they don't phase me a bit unless they're really strong.

I was in Tokyo during the great Kobe quake in 1995.  That was a bad one, even though I was far from the epicenter.

6 Glad to hear you and yours are safe, Sean and Dave.

Pretty much the only time we have earthquakes here in Colorado is when the government decides to dispose of toxic waste by dumping it 12,000 feet underground.  Kinda funny how that works.
