Earthquake

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I was at work this morning (on a Saturday) and a little before 9 I felt the biggest earthquake I’ve felt since I got here.  It kept going on and on for 2 or so minutes and it turns out it was a 7.0.  I’m not sure exactly how far away it was but I’m guessing around 150-200 kilometers (100ish miles) south of here according to the maps.   I hope everyone is ok there.

A co-worker mentioned this site: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2008tgah.php

Pretty cool site that updates every hour with worldwide seismic activity.
