The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake with a 5.1 magnitude has been reported in central California.A preliminary earthquake report said the quake was recorded at 2:01 a.m. Thursday (1001GMT) about 148 miles west of Las Vegas and within the vicinity of Death Valley National Park.
The epicenter of this earthquake is about 400 miles away from the Bay Area, so suffice to say, I'm alive. LA may have experienced some aftershocks, but a 5.1 quake isn't that big and probably won't reverberate that substantially.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came out here to look for apartments in July 2005, I was woken up in the middle of the night by a ~4.8 quake centered near San Jose. I guess I always expected the shaking to be somewhat rhythmic, when in fact it's completely erratic. The experience was really unnerving, your stomach gets all tied in knots.
I guess the main question is what made Chris Kelly so angry this week? Do you think it was our response to his wife's email?
that email made my life...
