It good to hear from you, Scott, and also Travis, Mark and Stephen! I was
so worried at the first reports.

That is such good news - here in SoCal they are always just a few miles deep
and that causes much more devastation. Also heard a report that aftershocks
were unlikely or would only be mild because of the 30 miles depth.

Oh MEEE, too!!! ;-)
We still need to hear from Catherine T. and don't we have a Neil in Seattle,
too? I heard it also shook Penny's area (Vancouver, WA) hard but no great
damage or injuries there.
Kakki, relieved
