I'm in an underground library at the UW right now. Is it pretty bad up there? Gets you a little dizzy. All the students were outside talking it up. I have a major project due at 3 so I'll risk life to get it done.

It was a 7.0?! Did this thing cause any problems elsewhere? Where was it centered? Hmmm.. how long do aftershocks last?

Hey- is the clock wrong on the S2000online.com server???

The earthquake occurred at 10:55am PST, not 7AM PST. If the clock is right, then you predicted the future.

Screams erupted at hotel where Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing a conference. He was whisked away... audience bolted for exits. audience members were knocked down by others trying to get out....
