I was watching the Libya coverage when on CNN when it was interrupted by
quake coverage - my daughter (in Manhattan) emailed me within minutes to say
she felt it there. I am hoping there has been no serious injury - but it is
odd for Çalifornians to see how the east coasters are responding to an
earthquake. 5.8 is not a small quake, and I know from several experiences
with larger ones that few things are more terrifying than to suddenly feel
the earth, whose solid foundation one tends to take for granted, begin to
shift under one's feet, and to feel the roar of the quake slowly move up
one's loins. This is why humans invented religion a long time ago. Once you
have been through one, you don't blame them.
