Earthquake

[pecunium]

Even as I type we enjoyed a long, slow roller of a quake.

No bouncing (and a good thing, as the snake racks have yet to be bolted to the wall), just a decided sense of up and down... like a huge waterbed.

And it was long... perhaps as much as 15 seconds... with a very slow tailing off... the nausea holding sway of an moribund ship on an oily swell... just barely above the threshold of kinesthetic perception.

Now to see the news, and find out where it was (and how deep) how strong, and what damage. The bookshelf excursion may have to wait.

Parkfield

I felt that, too, here in the SF Bay Area. Looks like there was one 5.9 near Parkfield, California, plus some smaller ones right after.
