Earthquake

Another shaker.  Boy is this place seismic.  I know that I should probably have headed for a doorway or something but it is hard to know if it's a bad one

Recently, we went over procedures at the school on what to do if it happens in the classroom.  Get under something, was the response.  Apparently in the recent earthquakes in Japan, people that took refuge in doorways were worse off than those that ducked and covered.

Earthquakes.  There is something to be said about watching and hearing one's environment during a tremor.

A magnitude of 6.1 this time, originating 43 miles away.
