We are sitting on the couch eating dinner and watching a movie. Suddenly, about ten minutes ago just as the Incredibly Deadly Viper was about to not bite Uncle Monty, there was an earthquake. It was the shaking kind, not the rolling kind or the slamming kind, and we looked right away on craigslist to find the quake map. It turns out the epicenter was 14 miles away just outside of Alamo, the source was ten miles below ground, and the magnitude was 4.0. As a family project we filed a report at the United States Geological Survey website and now our experiences will be added to the observations of other scientists all around Northern California.
Homecooked dinner, PG-rated movie, earthquake. Shabbat Shalom, kulam--have a great weekend, everybody. And if there are any aftershocks, just brace yourself in a doorway or duck and cover under a table (but don't forget to grab onto one of the legs of the table so it doesn't scoot away from you).
