Re: Anyone know if Alvaro is OK?

Hi.  We're out of town right now, and it seems I can't get to my home machine (probably just a loose cable).  Our
buildingwas shaken badly enough that we'll have a lot of work to do to make it usable again.<br /><br />Our earthquake
was8.3 or 8.8 depending on who you ask, and whatever it really was, it was strong enough to tear down a bunch of
buildings. Not on my zone though, fortunately for us.  I have several friends on the worst area though :-(<br /><br
/>(Ihave to note that buildings here are built to resist this kind of thing, so the fact that some went down means that
itwas really strong)<br /><br />Re: the more frequent earthquakes, yeah I was thinking the same today.  An actual
scientificstudy would be more useful than idle speculation though ...<br /><br />At Saturday, 02/27/2010 on 4:21 pm
