Both at work. Yesterday a 6.6 (though reported initially a 7.1) and just now a 6.4.

The Engineering office I am in has this earthquake alarm that has given us about 20 seconds notice prior to the tremor hitting. The first one yesterday was like a big roller coaster, moving around and stuff. The power lines were whipping around like a jump rope...

Everything cool here, train running no problems.

Look forward to going home Saturday.

He11, I was at disneyland when about a 3 point earthquake hit on 9/8/2001. Shut down all of the rides. Little did I know that they would shut everything down for the 1st time in their history a few days later.

Where are you at anyway? I heard there have been some decent quakes in north or central Arkansas lately

I forgot you were going. Everything OK?

Nevermind...I read the first post.

Stay safe.

I am good. Tired, but doing fine. The Japanese are quite resilient. Though I fear the NE coast is toast for a long time.

Have a big bowl of ramen and a plate of gyoza for me. Just can't get that here. At least can't get it to taste the same.
