Havin’ an earthquake here!
Just had a long roller go through the SF Valley. Got me rockin’ and rollin’ in my chair here for about thirty seconds.

Yikes!!!!
I was the victim of a nice, gentle, rolling earthquake at 11:44 am, PDT.
Location: San Diego.
My earthquake detector -- tripod with plumb robert -- responded with a 3/8" circular movement.
Situation is dire here. Send beer, cigarettes and cat food immediately.
Note: SF is not a valley but a very hilly city.

Suggest you get the cat to quit smoking or the vet bills will eventually ruin you.
Little earthquake like that and you need help? Shoot next time we have 1inch of snow I want that help back>G<
We have several small ones a month or two back.

This one was east of downtown L.A. about 15 miles. But they say it got the new tall buildings swaying pretty good.
That's a first good test for the floating foundation engineering in L.A. I wonder if the people on the top floors appreciated it's effects. ROFL.
