our first earthquake just rumbled through the house. our midwestern instincts were jammed, and we ran around in useless confused circles. meanwhile, the windows were banging, the floor shook, and the walls were creaking. it came out of alum rock north east of san jose, and measured 5.6. it was pretty exciting.
here's a little map to demonstrate the location, timing, and severity of the quake. it's location would explain why chris's pictures fell off the walls in mountain view but our wine glasses remained firmly planted on the desk in santa cruz.

I think I'd take a tornado warning any day after that one. Exciting? Yes, but also a bit scary.
Now it's time to come home!
Kind of makes you think twice before pulling into a parking garage, huh....
