Earthquake complaints

We just had an 3.7 earthquake. Again. We had another 3.7 on Wednesday night, from the same fault (Hayward). So, two earthquakes in 48 hours. Fun ( Read more... )

complaining, earthquakes

*grins* I adore Death (the character, that is).

The Hogfather has never visited my house, but I still have hope. Perhaps because my mother's a vegetarian. Ah well.

How's the Christmas season been for you, so far? Have you eaten enough candycanes yet?

Yeah, um, wow, really dramatic quakes. The sound was the creepy part for me--hearing that unspeakably low rumble and thinking "OHFUXNOEARTHQUAKERUNFORADOOR" and then just that sort of light rumble. Then the panic as we go "Oh crap was that really huge and we just didn't feel it because we're on granite but still on the fault line?" and run around checking all the news and looking around the neighborhood.

Twice.

My theory is some geek on Cal campus with some new earthquake summoning device. Seems pretty effective to me.

Ha! Your theory sounds pretty accurate to me--the guy's probably made hundreds of them and given them away as Christmas presents.

Did you feel the smaller one this morning?

No... I was at aikido. Too busy rolling around and swinging swords to notice a quake.

Ah, scary! I've never experienced an earthquake. I forget some people deal with them on a regular basis.

Hope all is going well, and that you have a very Merry Christmas! :)

Not really...well, once a year or so, I suppose. I guess that's frequent for most. This is just weird (there's been two more, too!).

I got your Christmas card! I was very excited. I'm sending you a postcard soon (or a letter. I haven't decided yet.)

How have your jolly-wolly holidays been so far?

Earthquake, eh? Wow.

I am wonderful. And how are you, my darling? It's been far too long since we communicated.

Re: Yo. madameg December 30 2006, 01:34:29 UTC

Yeah....scary, man.

I too, am pretty wonderful, and will continue to be so until finals start (bleh!). Are you busy right now, or do you have time for a quick chat via handy-dandy cellphones?
