Ground shouldn't move, people. STOP THAT.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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

It didn't want to stop. Which is a bad sign because the '89 quake kind of went, died off and then went WHAMO. Yeesh.

I think it is super cool that these days I can hear about a quake as it happens, and then have people link me to scientific pages about it moments later. Awesome!

meara, you are now in a town that also gets earthquakes! Whee!
5.6 is pretty sporty. Fun.
