Whoa! Earthquake

[Randi]

Ugh, that must have been scary! Hope everything is still standing and you're okay!

[Freedom]

Glad you posted to show us you are ok!

Don't think you get them too often, sort of like here in RI, they are rare and a big deal no matter the size!

We're all glad to hear from you and to know you're okay!

She's on the West Coast, so is part of the Pacific Rim, also known as the "Ring of Fire" - remember Mt. St. Helen's eruption? So she is more likely to get earthquakes of consequence than we are in New England - we get teeny ones, of little consequence.

A friend recently posted a link to here: http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

And you can se the yellow circle near Slick, whereas we get pretty much nothing!

If you click the link, it is a live map, and you can click to see a bigger version, or to zoom in closer!
