I have an earthquake in my back yard...and a guy
in Brazil is the first one to tell me about it.

What is up with the world these days?!?!?!?!?

Sorry to dissapoint, but, I slept through it.
4.4 magnitude? I snore bigger than that!

Cheers, Jeff

Hah. 4:04 AM. We don't notice anything less than 5.0 unless it happens right
under us and we don't even wake up for anything under 6.0! Those jerks just
wanted to get their name in the papers!

Is this a wonderful internet or what?

It's fun to watch easterners experience their first one, though! During one of
the bigger bay area quakes a visiting accountant got sloshed while sitting on
the john and had to go back to the motel for the rest of the day.

I lived in Santa Cruz and Los Osos 1990-1994, but felt my first (an
only) earthquake in western MA in 1983 that had an epicenter in
Albany, NY. I felt gypped. (sp?)

Perhaps, I was checking news at the exact moment it happened, because
I'm several hours ahead of you in the day?

A small world!

Much au contraire! :) Glad you didn't notice it.

I remember the day I arrived L.A. and you were driving me around. I
asked why every building were *houses* and where were the sky
scrapers? If you see a picture from my town (http://
barriodecuba.altervista.org/NationGallery/brasile/recife/vista%20aerea
%20recife%20skyline.jpg) you will notice lots of high buildings. I
remember your answer as it was yesterday (while Fred laughed)
"earthquakes. you don't want to be on a tall building when one hits!"


cheers!!!
