Earthquake correction - last night's quake was downgraded to a magnitude 4.7 a few hours after my post. I was watching television upstairs when it started and my delayed reaction of running to the nearest doorway was way too late to have been effective if a larger quake had hit. We were lucky that it was fairly mild, but since the epicenter was so was close to our house it felt a lot stronger. I heard glass break somewhere during the quake, but I couldn't for the life of me find anything broken after it was over. I suppose we'll find whatever it was eventually. A whole bunch of stuff fell off bookshelves, but otherwise the house sustained no damage. Dan was at work at the time so I called him immediately to make sure he was all right. He was. I was just shaken up because earthquakes are so unpredictable and there's almost nothing you can do to prepare for them. The last decent quake we had in LA was last July and that one struck while I was at work. It's one of the drawbacks of living in Southern California, but at least for tonight I'm expecting a shake-free evening.
