Oh yeah. How could I forget to mention this? We had a pretty good-sized earthquake today. It went on forever. FOREVER. Like 45 seconds.

It was a roller.

As long as they are mild, they are fun. If it's The Big One, I'd prefer to be out of state that day.

i don't know. i think there would be something awfully satisfying about seeing the infrastructure around me crumble. sick and twisted i know, but awfully poetic. i wouldn't *wish* for it though...people would assuridely die in horrible ways.

Kinda like the ending to Fight Club?

Sure it'd be interesting to see, but I wouldn't want to be there when it happened. But I get what you're saying.

Not at first, because I thought it was about to end. But then it got stronger and kept going. At that point I looked out the window and saw how much the building was moving. Then I tried not to think about how long it would take for the building to collapse from the 6th floor.

The secretary told me a story of how she was in the elevator when a quake happened, and the elevator doors opened but she couldn't see the hallway because the elevator was swinging back and forth so she timed her jump and leapt into the hallway. Crazy stuff.

Wow....that's crazy. I didn't realize Alaska had earthquakes!

Of course it does :)

Alaska gets earthquakes all the time. We're just woefully underreported by the national media. Hey, don't you work for the media? :P
