strangely, its been nice to not focus on the virus for a few hours, even if it was shifted to something else from the Book of Revelations.
My work office has structural damage, not that I was venturing in there anytime soon anyway.
Who felt that 4.6 aftershock?

It’s the only aftershock I felt today in Sandy. My nerves had JUST started to calm down (phantom quakes) when it hit.

That’s the problem I have. Just the dread that another larger quake will happen.

“Is there lava?” is my new go to response for any crisis.

I’ve felt about a half a dozen aftershocks since the initial one. The 4.6 had us looking for cover.
You guys don’t get earthquakes very often right?
I remember back when I was in town there were a lot of people complaining about government regulations and not needing buildings to be earthquake sound, over regulation, etc. Is this the biggest one you’ve had in a while?

Yep. And it still wasn’t “the big one”.

That joke was in the original incarnation of, “Saturday’s Voyeur,” and I’m certain I heard it before that.

Well, nothing like being in the vortex of working the event. I am tired, and tomorrow is coming soon.

Yes, I think i first hear it in the original Saturday’s Voyeur - a classic! Nancy Borgenicht, one of the creative minds behind Saturday’s Voyeur lives in my neighborhood - great lady!

The whole sub theme in those originals with Joyce McDiddle, based on the real life exploits of Joy McKinney, cracks me up to this day. BTW, there’s a great documentary on McKinney called, “Tabloid.” I highly recommend it. She has never been a well woman.
We talked about that yesterday, oddly enough. My wife was debating whether or not to put in a garden this year.
There was one centered in eastern Nevada about 15 years ago. I remember getting hit pretty hard out at Dugway.
Same here. For the first second, I thought a dump truck was going past the house. But the next second I knew it wasn’t a dump truck, but still trying to comprehend what the hell was happening.

Yeah it’s surreal and I think the panic yesterday had more to do with the already low grade persistent stress of a pandemic.

I remember a quake in Malad City, Idaho, that gave SLC a pretty good jolt in around 1975. I think it was magnitude 6.0.
Yep. Before the shaking of the initial quake was even over I was thinking, “oh great, this is all we need right now”
