Sitting here in my home working away, I just felt my first earth tremor. Uh. oh.

Chris at 8:10 - "Anyone feel quake tremors?"
Nick at 8:10 - "Quakesville" "felt in lower and upper Haight"
Scott at 8:10 - "at House of Shields" (heh)
Ev at 8: 11 - "did anyone just feel that earthquake?"
Tantek at 8:11 - "Earthquake felt here in the Haight est 3.5 lasted about 10 sec"
Eris at 8:12 - "always wondered how dbers would handle an eq. on caltrain, going through tunnels."
Ryan at 8:12 - "Didn't feel anything here."
Tantek at 8:14 - "Usgs reports 4.5 near Santa Rosa"
Matt at 8:17 - "didn't feel any quake in soma"

Go fill in the USGS 'I felt it' form - it helps them improve predictions in future.
Wake up call for Tara! Please, go get your water TODAY and remind your friends/neighbors (kind of like smoke alarms... preparedness right?). You never know if that might have been a little precursor to a bigger event in the near future.
ZOMG WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE
unfortunately in the event of a real big earthquake, it's not like FEMA would actually help us, even after Katrina.
anyway, tara, could i ask you a question about web development?
how big of a problem do you think it is when the back button is broken? for instance, in a todo list application (like tada list from 37signals), do users expect to be able to undo their actions by using the back button?
Portland, OR had an earthquake last night too...craziness.
