This reminded me of the FF7 intro movie in both the way it zoomed in from overhead and the way it looks like it was rendered on a calculator.

just this week my son started preschool and they sent him home with a zip lock sandwich bag and a letter saying that all children must have an "earthquake preparedness kit"

the letter explained that the preschool had 2 week supply of water and a 1 week supply of food for 15 kids ... we were supposed to put certain items in the zip lock bag in case of something catastrophic

1) a letter written by mommy and daddy that could be read to the child in case an earthquake happens
2) a picture of the family
3) candy or some other treat


/definitely not something one wants to think about but thankful such preparations exist

Went to visit a daycare yesterday to check it out and "earthquake preparedness kit" was on the list of things we had to provide.

Scary indeed.

6.7? Great. Now we'll hear for two weeks how the people in New York were scared. So very scared.

Like the people in the south when they get 3-4 inches of snow. I was in S Carolina when it happened and they pre-empted regular programming to see how people were copping with the storm.

We went into town and were watching the bad ass red necks and their confederate flags driving with their death grips on the steering wheel like they were going to die. It was a good laugh for all of us.

Every region deals with things differently because they are used to some things and not others.

They are gonna replace it. IIRC they're gonna build an underground tunnel instead of building a new viaduct. Took them 10 years since the Nisqually earthquake but they finally got around to getting everything approved. They should be thankful that a major earthquake didn't hit Seattle in those 10 years.
