You should have. According to the United States Geological Survey, a magnitude 3.0 quake hit just after 4 pm today. So you all can go ahead and tell your grandchildren years from now that you were there for the Great Quake of 07. Not a bad accomplishment for the second day of class, huh?If you’re interested, you can ogle a map of the quake. And there’s all kinds of cool, scientific-type data over here. If you happen to be an unquenchable paranoiac, and who here isn’t, campus provides info on disaster preparation. As always, in times of crisis, the Clog recommends a fifth of whiskey. That always seems to work for us.Magnitude 3.0 - SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA [USGS]
Early this morning, an earthquake of a 4.2 magnitude occurred two miles away from Oakland. Many Berkeley residents felt it, including the Clog and, of course, the LiveJournal community.
Now, we know that another relatively big one might not strike again so soon, but the Clog does not work within levels of rationality. Plus, the last Harry Potter book is coming out at midnight, and we need time to read it. What we’re saying is, well, we’re taking a break and getting the heck outta Dodge.
In the meantime, go chatter nervously/excitedly about the earthquake/Harry Potter spoilers. We’re so outie–until Monday at least.
Although, you know, we could surprise you with a few posts this weekend. Who knows. Bloggers are mysterious, uncontrollable people.
Au revoir!
