Super Highway

There was an earthquake this evening. Eric and I were watching television, and then suddenly there was that rolling-jolt and the moment of anticipation: will it subside or grow?

I don't want anyone to be hurt, or property to be destroyed, but otherwise I enjoy earthquakes.

So... we felt the jerk and jolt, and then it was over. Within one minute I was online, and there was the quake... preliminary information only. Within three minutes we had the magnitude, coordinates, depth, and all of the other earthquake-relevant data.

I love the internet!

Every now and then we get an earthquake. So far - nothing as big as what you get. Here's the site I visit for earthquake info:
