Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I skipped over a ton to see how many folks felt the quake. It wasn't much here, at first I thought something fell on the roof, then I realized what it was. Sounds like it was stronger for everyone a bit north of me.
Allyson, I am home trying to work today, so I'll try to get that chapter read. I've been busy all weekend and all of yesterday with the kids.

Shit, that was scary! I'm fine, but shit. In three years, that's the first real earthquake I've felt. It was pretty strong here in Pasadena, though it looks like it was centered in Chino Hills.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
That was a fun ride.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How quick is quick for you, Sean? People had exchanges here, and then there was a wee aftershock, but I'm having difficulty estimating an actual duration. 15s? Long enough for people to get under desks and yell at others for not doing it too.

This is weird. Was it really that big? Should I call daycare? (Odd, it really didn't feel like much here, but 5.8 is not so wee, is it?)

Dude! I hope all our LAistas can check in!
You want I should send Vampire People to them?
That's very tempting. I guess I can always bring them my copy, if they're curious.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Whoa! Stuff fell off shelves, but other than that all is okay here at work. It was the frst earthquake for one of our employees, and she was a bit freaked.

Yeah, about 15 seconds or so. It seemed short to me, but that's only in reference to the one other quake I've ever felt of about that magnitude. The shaking that night seemed to go on for close to a minute.

I hope my alcohol's safe. I've just overheard a couple people calling home and finding out about broken mirrors et al.
