dieppe101: Back home? Feel the quake?
Mo! Langdon: Oh, yes, but it was almost a non-event here. Did you feel it?
dieppe101: The building 20 stories, was swaying back and forth.. I'm on 15th floor... lasted almost a minute I swear.
Mo! Langdon: Wheeeeee!!!
dieppe101: Felt queasy but beyond that not much.
Mo! Langdon: You should go here: http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/ca/STORE/X40148755/ciim_form.html and fill out the form.
dieppe101: Eh, it was probably magnified cause of the way the building is made... best quake I've felt in a while though!
1:50 PM
Mo! Langdon: LOL!!
Mo! Langdon: Actually, I was thinking, while the shaking was going on, "Ah! I feel at home, now!"
dieppe101: Oh well nice to see ya'll for Xmas.. back to work for me!
dieppe101: Yeah! You were close to it too!
Mo! Langdon: Seems as though points south felt it *tons* more...
dieppe101: Yeah perhaps..

jckobzeff: Soooooooo, how was the quake?
1:35 PM
Mo! Langdon: Almost a non-event here... Check here: http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/STORE/X40148755/ciim_stats_1.html
Mo! Langdon: Did you feel it?
jckobzeff: Nope, just found out about it a few minutes ago....
Mo! Langdon: We felt it, and didn't think much of it, and hadn't gotten around to turning on the radio, so figured it was just a little local hiccup. One of my brothers-in-law called up, to make sure we were OK, and we got some of the gory details then. We've been checking out USGS, and the local news rag, etc.

jckobzeff: OK, cool to hear that you all are OK... See ya!
Mo! Langdon: See ya!
