Photos from last night's earthquake

This was not a "mild" quake. There was some structural damage.

1. The earthquake took photos?

;) ;)

No one was injured in the quake, right?

2. None reported so far, anyway

Somebody might've slipped on some Ragu in a store somewhere, though.



(Yeah, "Photos from." "Photos of" would indicate photos of the actual shaking. Now, if I'd said "Photos by," you would've nailed me.) :)



(If you look at the word "photos" enough, it starts to seem like the name of a planet or something.)

4. Did you see the photo of the skateboarder?

5. Your English is fine, but who can resist the slightest opening, here in the Lounge

I'm the one who should pay attention to his English :)

"Photos" may remind you of "Phobos".

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Yeah, I think that's it

And "Phobos" reminds me of "phobia," which sorta leads right back to earthquakes.

It's a full circle. :)

3. I was scared

I saw people posting here about feeling the quake. So I tried to call my best friend who lives in San Fran and he didn't answer and I got freaked out for a while but then I found out it's because he was in a movie with his phone off. He said they felt it and got scared a minute but figured they better stay put. They were in a theater that's on the third floor though, if the building collapsed they'd be gone :(
I'm gonna send him this link.

11. Nah, it wasn't nearly that strong

Remember, stuff around here's built or retrofitted to stand all but the strongest quakes. :)

6. I expected you to post

a bunch of blurry pictures.

8. So in that one pic the earthquake opened their drawers...

And threw all their clothes around?

13. Mmmyeah

That's one of the problems with unedited viewer/reader "journalism."

Kinda the same with no. 19, of the skateboarder. How much y'wanna bet that kid just lost it on a rail slide in August and he or someone else sent in the photo? Or, he just staged the whole thing last night?

"D00d! It looks just like the quake made your board fall on you!"

:headbang:
