There was a 5.6 earthquake about half an hour ago, it lasted for a while, with a lot of rumbling, and several sharp jolts. I've been in a lot worse (I've been oddly "lucky" to be in several major temblors in several cities), but this one was enough to get my attention.

In under 10 seconds, I had grabbed my external mirror hard drive, my PSK, my crash axe, and my Scrapper 6, and gotten myself standing in a doorway.
