rejectomorphFrom USGS recent earthquake info for California-Nevada region:
Surf's up! (Maybe. An undersea quake this size can cause moderate surges, but nothing resembling last year's Indian Ocean disaster.)
The odd thing is that the weather here today, which I described in my earlier post this evening, was of the muggy, sultry, overcast sort that my grandmother was wont to call "earthquake weather." Earthquake weather is superstition, of course, but I sometimes refer to it by that name, myself. It lends a bit of drama to what is actually something that brings merely discomfort. Nice coincidence, though.
