We had a pretty decent shake this morning
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/nc51171759.htm

I missed it, though. At 5:24 a.m. I tend to be sort of asleep. I didn't know anything about it until a friend e-mailed me. :silly:

2. Look at the 'shake map'
Where I am, it's logged as between "weak" and "light."





I love that "Not reviewed by human."

I think you've forgotten that people still talk about the 2.somthing earthquake we had here three years ago. I Still don't think I'd be able to sleep through that. :P

9. Hey, she was actin' weird
just before I fell asleep. Runnin' around the house like crazy, lookin' out windows.

(How do you do .gif animations like that? Will Photoshop do it?)

17. Cats always know it in advance ...
Easy in Photoshop: Just duplicate a few frames (here 3, so it doesn't get too big), and then move the pic around a bit. make sure to save it as animated gif.

15. Hmph!

18. It woke me up.
I opened my eyes, looked at the clock, logged the event in my head, waited to see if there would be anything more, and went back to sleep.

Now, if it had been the cops breaking down my door, I would have been into my pants, grabbed my shoes, and been out the window before they got to my room. Or maybe I would have noticed my wife sleeping there beside me and realized it wasn't 1984.
