One good thing there are no reports of emergencies or damage to anything. So that is awesome.

As soon as it started shaking stronger, I ran outside like a punk . All my employees followed suit so I didn't feel too lame. Called my mom, my brother and checked on my wife and kids. Just glad everyone is okay.

Anything to do with catastrophe is scary.
