Just a friendly reminder that Earth will some day reclaim the human race.

She has calmed down now and we finally got the depo going.

I sure hope my LCD TV is OK.

I'm here in the Paul Hastings building 20th floor - been through alot of earthquakes that don't really bother me, but it's a whole different kind of scary way up here with the glass windows shaking.

I hope my TV and PS3 are okay, I won't be able to check on them until I return in September

My friend used to be on like, the 50th floor of the cushman/wakefield building. I imagine that would've been ridiculous.

Looks like it was a roller, not damaging kind.

Shirley a pre-cursor for much bigger shake.

Thats what would really scare the shit out of me, would be in a really tall building during one.

I had never been in a tall building for an earthquake before. I could feel the building roll on the rollers - Coooool!!!

It totally freaked out the other lawyer. ("Will it ever stop rolling?!?")

I am getting more worried about my LCD TV.

Maybe it will relieve pressure and stop a big one, stop calling us Shirley. :laugh:

Wow! So far that's one of the longest I've experience since the Northridge earthquake of 1994.

We were told to leave our building so they can check for any gas leaks.

Back at work and happy to be neffing again.

What was it like there, like a gentle shiatsu massage?

More like laying on an old waterbed.

Felt it from the OC. Mom was all right, though some vases fell over and shattered glass everywhere.

Sprint also down

Means fiber optic lines went down and/or Microwave links went down due to misalignment.

Interesting.

More likely means that too many people are using their cell phones at once... Happens during NYE all the time
