I thought you were my friend alleykitten for a minute:

KittenOfTheAlley: HOLY SHIT!
KittenOfTheAlley: we just had an earthquake.
KittenOfTheAlley: brb
Kyrie Truant: k
KittenOfTheAlley: Okay, only a 2.3
Kyrie Truant: ahhh...and what does a 2.3 feel like?
KittenOfTheAlley: Like you're standing on a firm water bed.
KittenOfTheAlley: You can see it here : http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/ca/STORE/X14151252/ciim_display.html
KittenOfTheAlley: Crap. There was an earthquake south of us also.
KittenOfTheAlley: That was a 5.6
KittenOfTheAlley: I wonder if THAT'S what I felt.

Yea, I'm an idiot. The page hadn't refreshed so that 2.3 was from two days ago.

I felt it! I felt it!

Then it's true, we are not alone...

I'm jealous! Washington hasn't had a good earthquake since 2001!

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Um...I'm sorry(?) I live in Southern California, where the earthquakes live?

[madamecacoon.livejournal.com]

But earthquakes live in Washington too! They're friends with the volcanoes!


I saw St. Helens poofing a bit on Wednesday. It was awesome.

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Very cool.

And yes, there are some earthquakes who live in Washington, but they're like...Southern California's earthquakes' hick cousins...or children sent of to boarding school...or retirees or something...

ROFL!

[alleykitten.livejournal.com]

LMFAO! They so ARE!

[madamecacoon.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should move to California....



Which is what I was planning someday anyways.

Wow...somebody who wants to live within natural disaster areas? You should move to the hurricane places ;-) That's the one good thing about living in the midwest. Relatively few natural disasters. Tornados are pretty few and far between, and not nearly the sizes we'd get in Tornado Alley.

I'm mostly joking about earthquake chasing. They're interesting every once in a while, and I appreciate them when they happen. But hurricanes and tornadoes are not my thing. Too... midwest/eastern.

I need to be on the west coast unless I want to suffocate.

...and for the record...that's metaquotes worthy. I may have to join just to post this.

Is it bad that I um. Slept through it?

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little...

4.0's usually wake me. I didn't have a clue until I got pounced when I got on IM this morning.
