Damn earthquake. Scared the crap out of me and there's been at least 6 aftershocks, just felt one a minute ago. There was an earthquake day before yesterday, a mild one, I think about 4.6. That just shook the hotel a little bit, but this one, vases feel off a shelf. Oh crap, another strong aftershock.
