Get in the Doorway!
So last night I’m on the phone with my friend Dinah and suddenly I find myself thinking “Why is my desk lamp walking?.” “Why does it feel like this whole building is on a cheap pair of rollerskates?”
My first earthquake. Now, I ain’t from this part of the world. Back home we got tornados, blizzards, and Kid Rock. But the earth moving means the world is coming to an end. So naturally it scared the piss out of me.
Anyway, Dinah’s quick fingers soon discovered the quake’s epicenter was somewhere near Gilroy and was about a 5.2 on the Richter Scale. Many earthquake web sites were jammed up so where did we go to find out the latest? Metafilter of course whose new motto should be “The world blogged in real time.”
