Re: Why localize structures in this case.

Okay, I sat and thought about what you just said. I got briefly
distracted because there was some 3.2 earthquake that just hit. I was
just sitting here thinking when I felt my apartment complex shake. At
first I thought maybe the girl upstairs was having some rough sex.
Then I saw my door shake and crap fall onto the floor. The came the
ritual of people from the east coast hitting the freaking panic button
because they've never felt a tremor.

You had a 3.2 and you could feel it? Must've been fairly nearby.
But it is a truly surreal sensation, especially the first time you
experience it.

I remember a maybe 4.0 or 4.5 once when I was in a training class
at SGI. We were in their big newly-built headquarters at the time
in a second-floor room that was slightly cantilevered out, so it
felt precarious just looking at it. Lots of the students had
traveled to California for the class and had never experienced an
earthquake before, and that was just about the perfect place to
experience one.
