Earthquake!

[trinityofone]

Yikes! Not only did we just have a 5.8, I got to experience it from a high-rise building, which has never happened to me before. (However, for the second time in my life, I was on the toilet when the quake hit—is the universe trying to tell me something?) It was very strange—we're on rollers, so it was more like being on a turbulent ship than the usual shaky stuff. It's really only my hands that are shaky.

Angelenos: are you all okay? akukorax, ebrooklynw, I've been trying to call, but my cell is dead.

I'm going to take some deep breaths and keep trying to get ahold of my mom...

ETA: Oh god, I just realized—my apartment! There were dishes left out on the rack, and DVDs piled high behind the GLASS-DOORED armoire... And of course, books everywhere...ack. And I have to wait five hours to go home. :(

ETA2: I've gotten ahold of my mom, my aunt, and several friends, and I'm feeling much better. Now I just want my brother, who's out filming in Big Bear, to get over his technology aversion and check-in...

ETA3: How nice is Rodney McKay to check in from another galaxy, just because Sheppard is worried?

Yeah, I'm trying to use the interwebs to my advantage—I've emailed everyone, including my folks. Haven't heard back yet, but I'm sure that's just because going online isn't their first instinct, as it is mine. ;-)
