    I was literally handing out exams at the time, so not really. Class
    freaked out for a second. Then I'm like "START YOUR EXAMS!!"

    I lived through Northridge - this was nothing.

    I got a screaming alert on my phone to duck and cover and then nothing happened. Too far away.

    I'm certain that, given my general luck in life, if I’m ever caught in a major
    quake, it will happen when I’m taking a poop or standing naked in the shower as the side of the building falls away and leaves me standing there with my bits exposed to the world.

    There’s a video going around, probably a security cam at the Sandy Eggo
    Zoo, of the elephant enclosure, and the adult elephants all formed a circle with the younger elephants in the middle to protect them. Pretty cool.
