Well, my family and I survived the earthquake today. And none of my computers or printers fell on the floor, though a few of my wifes things did, nothing damaged though. My cat must've been going crazy. Anybody else on this list live in the Puget Sound region? How'd you do? At work everyone just headed out to the parking lot, where we could feel the ground rolling in waves, quite unnerving. The lot next to ours is under construction and there's one of those tall spindly cranes over there, probable a couple hundred feet high. The guy up at the top was out of the control room and standing out on the arm of the crane waving his arms around. Man, he must've been rattled to the bones! He didn't go back into the control room for about 20 minutes after that, just standing out on the arm of the crane, probably getting himself back together. Anyway, just thought I'd pass along a few thoughts in the aftermath of the quake. I live about 15 miles north of Seattle, there were no damaged buildings up here, but Seattle has quite a mess to clean up.
