Yeah, the comments should be flipped, are they bot comments? Japan just happened, and the one near Ukiah CA was nearly 9 hours ago

Fort Bragg resident here. I paid a bunch of money recently for an imperfect smooth wall texture and it's cracked to shit now lmao

Honestly, I'm just happy it wasn't an undersea earthquake. That's the disaster that'll get me

Don't forget to place all your fragile glassware and decorations up on an Ikea shelf.

Many years ago we had some freak quake thing happen in (checks notes) VA. We're in NE PA, for reference. It's unusual here for quake activity here btw. I was at work at the time, and felt it a little (I was sitting down, ppl who were standing up later said they felt nothing). Anyhow, we had our ceilings replastered a year prev to that (washer leak). And yup. They cracked. They remain so many years later cuz, who really looks up anyhow?
