Just dropping a note for people who might have heard that there was a large quake off the North Coast and were thinking "don't I know someone from there..."
Me and mine are all okay. Was definitely a rocker. Just lost a few books off shelves at the house but my work, which is about 15 miles closer to the epicenter, is trashed. Will definitely be closed for at least a day.
