glad you are alright.

Wow. I'm glad you guys are ok.

How exciting! Um. I mean. I'm so glad you are ok! No really. That's kind of exciting. And scary. And yes, I am glad you are ok. How were the aftershocks? I've heard they can be just as big and do just as much damage.

We didn't feel any of the aftershocks, but there were apparently 30 or so.

Note that this is generally a good thing. Moving earth and small earthquakes mean less chance of us falling off into the ocean.

Yeah, that was trippy, eh? I'd felt smaller quakes here before, but this definitely unnerved me.

As A says, that's why it's good for there to be lots of tiny quakes all the time. Keeps things from going too far too fast.

P.S. Very glad you and K are alright.
