You're right, my first post was much ado about nothing. Japan, now that's something else.

So today, just to be counted, we got a little 6.5 up in Eureka (North Cal, outside of the Bay Area).

Better?

Fortunately the area isn't dense and no casualty, thankfully.

California peeps, are you preparing yourself? Seriously, though.

yeah! There you go! the six pointers are average. After that people actually start growing hair on sacks.

Seriously though, have your emergency plan. Know what your surroundings are and where to go.

That's scary, glad you're ok! Do you actually feel everything shake? Does anything fall off shelves/tables at that scale number? Not sure I could live with that fear, I would be afraid something would collapse on my cats, even in a small earthquake!

^ Oh, don't worry, cats and animals are very smart about stuff like that. In fact, some experts try to predict natural disasters by looking at animals' behavior.

Yeah, I've had some trinkets fall off my shelves once or twice but luckily nothing more. You may or may not feel anything, depending. If you're walking around or driving, you probably won't. If you're in a building when things start shaking, then yes. I wouldn't let that stop me from coming though! You'd be surprised how people learn to live with it. Maybe we're all in constant denial, but we do.

OK peeps, you've probably all have heard about Haiti's disastrous earthquake by now?

I haven't found out yet how or where, or if we'll even be allowed to mail essentials directly there, but there are organizations on site trying to help out (red cross, UNICEF, doctors without borders, etc.) so if you got an extra bill or two laying around, you know what to do.
