Re: [nukkad] Quake in Seattle



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip of the day:  No chain letters, virus hoaxes and good luck charms. See 
<http://www.kumite.com/myths/> for a list of Internet hoaxes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



I live in Seattle and there was INDEED a quake here. It measured 6.8 on the 
Richter scale (the same as the one in India), however the epicenter was deep 
under the ground and we had a gentler motion back and forth for 45 seconds; 
rather than a shorter but more severe whiplash motion that shallow 
epicenters generate.

There are a lot of old brick buildings that have sustained a lot of damage. 
Some cars were crushed under falling bricks and concrete. One of my 
acquaintances lost his car that way. Some office buildings had quake and 
water damage from broken pipes.

Luckily, there was only ONE confirmed fatality from this quake and a few 
hundred injuries. We are kindly sending our deepest gratitude to everyone 
who has been concerned about our safety. By God's grace, we escaped 
relatively unscathed. Please keep us in your prayers as we start to rebuild 
the properties that have been damaged by the quake.

Your "nukkad" buddy,
