It was freaky when it happened, nobody panicked though. After a few minutes, everyone went back to what they were doing. The only down side is that cell phone services were not working for about an hour. Took me almost 30 min to get through to anyone.

I thought I read somewhere that even though 5.6 sounds like a high number for an earthquake it really isn't all that big to people who are used to them.
Your favorite band sucks!!
