April 16Apr 16 So just long enough to wonder what they fuck is about to happen. But that is better than all of a sudden getting knocked on your ass.
April 17Apr 17 Heard the alarms, but didn't feel the earthquake, which is strange since most people did. Maybe I mistook the earthquake with my kinda wobbly standing desk. I'm in the OC about 80 miles as the crow flies.
July 30Jul 30 West Coast is under a tsunami watch after an 8.7 magnitude earthquake just hit Russia https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000qw60/executive
July 30Jul 30 yep. I was living in Dana Point when there was a tsunami. It took the bait dock out of commission for months.

Yeah, understood. I did not say massive russian loss of life, I said someone is getting fucked. Wonder if there are implications for Northern Japan.
July 30Jul 30 the fact that the quake was shallow is pretty scary news. Hope everyone heeds all the warnings and gets to higher ground. Watch became a warning now so not great news. Damn. Fuck.

Good to see you two check-in. I am going up to higher ground at Pearl Ridge. I live down near the old Dole Cannery and I see how it gets there just for heavy storms, much less this.
