Was It Good For You, Too?

We just had an earthquake! Bigger than any of the ones I've been in before. Magnitutde 5.6 apparently. The entire apartment shook, and the cats freaked out. It lasted about 10 seconds or so. No harm done.

Four of the last five posts on my friends page are about this earthquake. It's almost enough to make me wonder how to measure eathquakes in LJ-geography.

11 of 11, for me, but I was somewhat reassured to notice that the quake.usgs.gov site reported it before my friendslist. ;-)

I went there before I went to LJ. :)

One of the posts on my friendslist was griping about how the info wasn't on the USGS site yet.

It was a 5-post quake!

For me, because I was so far from the epicenter. Or was I? I think near and far work differently on LJ but I'm not sure how to pinpoint the center of a quake in LJ-land.
