Earthquake!



I was in the yurt when it started shifting. I felt safe in it (as opposed to other times when I've been in buildings during quakes). From an article just out on CNN:

The quake was predicted to occur, according a study sponsored by the USGS published in Science Daily in April. The study had predicted there was a 99 percent chance of California having a magnitude 6.7 of larger within the next 30 years.


Good to know they knew it was coming.

P.S. Did you have a yurtquake?

But it was below 6.7, so it was unrelated to the prediction, right?

Keenan is currently residing in a yurt.

Frank, I was wondering that as well.

A yurt is a mongolian tent.
