The Noble Lie

We're the top story on Google News (at least on mine):

According to Associated Press: USGS geophysicist Richard Buckmaster says the quake was felt as far south as Capitola, and as far north as Tiller, Ore.

The quake was a long, rolling bastard that seemed to get stronger as it went. The Herald thread I linked earlier has many comments coming in (though most people's power is still out), and I'm sure Twitter is hopping, too. Bill @ HighBoldtage has summarized some of the damage this quake has caused.

There have apparently been numerous 4.X aftershocks, but we haven't felt any... Until just now (6:22pm Pacific).

I tip my hat to the HAM radio operators and the emergency response folks working hard tonight.
