Author	Topic: Yikes!? Kyp, Hasta, Joan, Dawk, O'legger - are you ok?

PeterK FishChip	I just read about the 6.2 earthquake that just happened in Seattle. I know this is severely off-topic, but when it comes to the safety of our community, nothing's off topic. Everyone in Seattle, let us know you are ok!

Al Oscar® Winner	Probably out scoping the damage. I know I'd be. I hope everyone's okay and there's not too much damage to homes.

Quill Oscar® Winner	I just read that it was 7.0...holy crackers! And I thought all they had to worry about up there was torrential downpours!

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	Hello! Yeah I'm ok...the quake has been downgraded to a 6.8 though. I was editing a project at Bellevue High School (where my AVID is) and I was sitting there doing a intense audio edit and then my chair started to shake. Annoyed, I turned around to see the rest of the kids in the class look at me with blank looks, the shake got stronger, I said "Um guys...." Then one of the younger kids said "Brian's its an" I continued the thought "earthquake." then we all ducked and covered. It was like being on a flying carpet. Then one of my friends yelled form across the room "Brian! Save your project!" hehe it was funny. But I'm here and I am ok. Thanks for the concern! --Brian Writer & Film/Video Editor NW: The NEWS [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 02-28-2001]

Hasta Oscar® Winner	My experience was similiar to Brian's... In school when the ground started to shake, got worse for the next 30 sec or so... It was kinda freaky, but more fun than anything. It didn't seem very serious, it wasn't as big as a 6.8 might seem (at least where I was).

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	I'm glad to hear everyone is ok. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to go through an experience like that.

Jack Oscar® Winner	I'm also glad all of you are ok. But next time, please listen to your cd of John William's EARTHQUAKE at a responsible volume.

Jeron Oscar® Winner	...that's SUCH a good CD. Even if it sounds a wee-bit dated. I called Brian via phone, so I was able to confirm he was okay. What about Onelegger? And how about Joan? Joan, do you have any family in the Seattle area?? Jeron

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	I have to admit that I'd like to experience an earthquake, as long as nobody is harmed, must be quite funny. We had an unusually strong one in Austria last year, nothing worrying, just a bit of wobbling - strength was either 4 or 6. It was in the middle of the night, so while I woke up and wondered what was happening, I had completely forgot about it in the morning, before I read about it on the news. I'm just glad that my then relatively new TV set didn't fall from the desk.

joan hue Oscar® Winner	Yep, O.K. Didn't feel it here. My daughters live in Seattle and work in towers, but they're fine. Thank you, God. NP Robin and Marian [Message edited by joan hue on 02-28-2001]

wistiti Oscar® Winner	Well it's nice to know this earthquake was more fear and fun than hurt and sorrow. quote: Originally posted by Marian Schedenig: I have to admit that I'd like to experience an earthquake, as long as nobody is harmed, must be quite funny. Believe me you don't, even if no one get hurt. When I was 7 we went through a big earthquake. Though little was broken, and only a couple of people were hurt (and most of them with minor injuries like lamp falling on their head, etc.) it was scary. To look up and see a 15 floor appartment complex shaking is frightening.

S Smith unregistered	Earthquakes are kind of fun, as long as nobody gets hurt. Yes, I AM a weirdo. Coming from Southern California (one of the premiere earthquake destinations in the country), I've had my share. If you ever get to take a geology class that discusses them, I highly recommend it. VERY interesting. And I'll take a quake any day over a twister or severe hurricane. But I do thank God that everybody's O.K.

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	I experienced several earthquakes already (just about every time when I'm in L.A. the earth shakes); the biggest one so far was the Northridge quake in 1994... whoa, that was a shaker. I was just a couple of miles away from the epicenter when it struck. I'll never forget that. The worst thing about it was the unbelievable noise. It sounded like the buildings were ripping through the streets. But it was kinda fun aftwerwards, because for the first time it was pitch black outside (all the lights including street lights were out), and one could see the stars at the sky.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Hey, Nicolai, another Northridge brother. I remember that one quite well, perhaps even more vividly since I was already awake at the time. I'd been through smaller shakers in Japan many many times, certainly nothing like this. I knew I was supposed to brace myself in the doorway, but the whole place was rolling so hard that I jumped on the bed instead (nothing was going to fall on me there except maybe the ceiling, which I could do nothing about anyway). I only just now remembered a curious detail: a glass Snapple bottle was on top of the fridge, and the shaking was so violent that it SMASHED when it hit the floor -- which was CARPETED. Normally it just would have bounced. Then, slowing down and silence ... followed by the awesome roar of thousands of police sirens filling the world. (I lived quite near an access ramp to the 10 freeway.) THAT sound was creepier to me than the quake itself. (So was the 10 freeway. ) After a while I went out and played with the neighbor's puppy and made a call to the 'rents to warn them that I was still alive.

S Smith unregistered	I used to freak when I was younger. Now, if they happen at night, I just roll over and go back to sleep.

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	I was working down on the Ave when it occurred. I just walked around (stupid, I know, in retrospect) while others took cover. Good thing I was on the first floor. My friend was on the Third floor of the Art Building and it scared the SH!T out of him

Swashbuckler Oscar® Winner	One of the best things about living in New York City is that even though there is a faultline nearby, the city is situated on a slab of bedrock, which means that even if we get a quake, you probably won't notice it. The ground stays nice and solid, just like it's supposed to.

Onelegger Oscar® Winner	Sorry for not replyn' for so long. I must have just missed it some how. Yup I felt it, although it wasen't as powerful as it was in Seattle since I'm about 100 miles away and have a huge mountian range in between us. But it gave me a good scare. But all is well and my family that does live in the Seattle area are ok and absolutly nothing broke in the house. Amazing. NP - Drum Corps baby (Glassmen, 1998)
