I feel all Jewish-mommy asking that, but all the LAistas are OK, right?
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

The status is NOT quo.
ita, I estimated about 15 seconds, too. I'm such an New Englander that I thought it was a big truck going by at first...until everything in the room started shaking and swaying and my cats went flying away. I failed the earthquake safety test. I just sat here stupidly, and by the time my brain recognized that I should be in a doorway or under something, it was too late. D'oh! At least I feel like I've learned my lesson and will do it next time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read in someone's LJ that it was felt in San Diego too.

Because books.
Brit import here "hid" under his desk. He'll be hearing about that for a while.
Aw. And, um, hee.
Everyone okay? LAistas, check in! Stephen just came up to tell me about the earthquake.

I think most of us have checked in. I'm waiting to hear back from non-Buffista friends at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, you guys!!

This must've happened while I was in the car since I never felt a thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The shaking that night seemed to go on for close to a minute.
Of course, that had a lot to do with the building we were in at the time being on casters.

Thinking back, that night is hard to quantify, what with being woken up from a dead sleep and all.
And the building swaying seemed to go on for several minutes, so I was trying to account for just the actual ground shaking, but I think doing that from memory is really impossible.

Our new thread title is freaking me out a little right now.
