Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My lab is built on these concrete pillars that go about 20 feet down into the ground. We swing with the quake, I think.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I felt it, it was long and rumbly but nothing fell over.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was pretty light out here in Simi. But this is probably a stabler building than the one I was in Sunday morning.

I felt Sunday's. My cats stood up all pointy eared but since I didn't react, they just went back to bed.

WOO HOO! EARTHQUAKE. My students and I are suddenly to excited and distracted to do anything about it.

My first response was, "Gotta check the website!" So I broke out the laptop and my students and I filled out a "Did you feel it" form.

It's just coincidence that the California faults and the New Madrid fault system are both having atypically frequent middling quakes in the same few weeks, isn't it?

It's just coincidence that the California faults and the New Madrid fault system are both having atypically frequent middling quakes in the same few weeks, isn't it?

Yes it's just a coincidence. It isn't someone testing a new doomsday machine design. Yep, no chance of that.
