Earthquake!
Yay! Another 4ish earthquake that lasted more than a few seconds! This one has fun quiver-y aftershocks, a twist I haven't felt before. It lasted long enough to get an initial estimate of which bookcases I should bolt to the wall first... The one most immediately hovering over my bed is more ok than I'd feared. Had some nice circle-y motion, unlike the usual shock-in-one-direction. Most interesting bit of afterschock detection was the string hanging down from my russian furry hat's earflap... It swayed in the air and confirmed that I wasn't just imagining faint quivers. Reminded me of a crack someone had made about the telltale on the Phoenix Mars Rover, comparing it to a weather rock... Here ya go.
Alright, should have news by now... Yep. Cool, 4ish, I was right, no one probably hurt, so I can say Ha Ha, move to California, where the land itself entertains you.

A long time ago (1992 or so?) I was staying with some friends in a house up in Portland's west side, very near a fault line up there. We had a pretty good shake in the middle of the night. Waking, some strange corner of my mind said "get into a doorway" so I jumped off the couch I was sleeping on into the nearest doorway, just in time to see the three other people, all from California, come running into the living room and proceeded to watch them all run in a circle, screaming.
I still don't know why a guy from Minnesota would somehow be the one with a clear idea of what to do in an earthquake.

Your result for Reincarnation Placement Exam...
Middle-class America
41% Intrigue, 71% Civilization, 49% Urbanization, 30% Hedonism, 59% Spirituality, 46% Romance.
You were a little difficult to place, but there is a civilization for you. And it comes with all the cable TV a working class hero can eat.
Your answers indicate that you're interested in a peaceful and civilized existence. You like the benefits of civilization and you're willing to pull your own weight, so you will do well in an urban setting. What made your placement difficult for us is this: You seem to be quite fond of humanity as a whole, but you don't necessarily like to deal with them as individuals -- you know, you're not really a people-person. But that's okay! There's an entire civilization set up for working together, and then cocooning into little households at the end of the day. It's called... America.
Well... You're in for a pleasant and predictable life. No adventure for you! Join a union and a bowling league. Enjoy your nuclear family, and give my regards to Norman Rockwell.
