so much awesome!

also (not part of the awesome referred to by the subject line), that was the strongest and longest earthquake i've yet felt. (and i've lived in the bay area for 22.5 of my 32.5 years! (clearly i wasn't around in '89 (most earthquakes seem to occur while i'm asleep, and i sleep soundly... (i think i did experience a stronger one while in school at berkeley, but i was in an underground lecture hall at the time, so it didn't feel like much, mostly like a bulldozer was driving across the roof.))))

That 89 Earthquake was a motherfucker. I always thought the Earth was pretty flat and solid. Har har har. It's apparently much like a rug when you shake it.

Those stairs are awesome! Want!

I was making pancakes when the earthquake hit. Remembered to turn off the flame before going to a doorway (pats self on back).

those stairs? WUNDEBAH!

my god, the clever.

and that earthquake? nice one, though basically the size of all the aftershocks we had for many moons after the northridge quake.

glad the earth is letting of pressure at that level right now. that's more than enough.

I was a couple miles off the epicenter for the Northridge quake. No fucking thank you. Before that, earthquakes were amusing. After that, nightmare city and sleeping with the lights on. Rolling? Ok, I guess. Having the underside of my house kicked by an a giant foot the size of tank, being shaken INTO the air, off the ground? I'll pass, thanks.

There was mucho rockin' n' rollin' on the 89 one. You're lucky you missed it. The one tonight was outta control though. I guess it's a little reminder that we still can have earthquakes.
