    Post Shake, Rattle and Roll

    From the Greater Seattle Area, We are fine. As the man once said,"Shaken not, stired."

    6.8 on the Rictor Scale
    30 Miles Deep
    11 Miles N.E of Olympia our state capitol
    The Capitol Dome was cracked by the Quake
    There have been some injuries but no deaths

    I and my family are fine.

    wow!
    seen here :
    On the Richter Scale, magnitude is expressed in whole numbers and decimal fractions. For example, a magnitude 5.3 might be computed for a moderate earthquake, and a strong earthquake might be rated as magnitude 6.3. Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; as an estimate of energy, each whole number step in the magnitude scale corresponds to the release of about 31 times more energy than the amount associated with the preceding whole number value.
    Seems you got a strong one

    Yup, we got pounded. But with no loss of life, I am happy to report.
