    They're getting some pretty decent aftershocks, too.

    People up there shouldn't be too surprised though.

    ETA:
    Wow - the damage from this is worse than I would've thought. Something must've been different about it, or the epicenter was in just the wrong place.

    She posted it quick....I am assuming she took the pic but she got it out on Twitter pretty quick....Her thread is locals checking in on each other and posting pics...I'll post some more as they come in....

    It's on CBS now also.


    There is a lot of live feeds to follow on the Periscope link I posted above.

    See? This is what happens when you don't take man-made global warming seriously!


    Big earthquakes are no fun at all. I was PRESENT FOR the big earthquake that hit the San Francisco Bay area the day the As were playing the Giants in the World Series. It sucked from the initial scare to the loss of life and property damage, to the chaos that ensued afterward for a few weeks.
