Yuck. My guess is that I got the initial report, then the downgrade report, but never got the re-upgrade report on the 6'er - hence my confusion. :)

And no joke! Then again, it's more likely there'll be a huge aftershock within the first ten minutes than there is within the rest of the first hour. Northridge wasn't just a single quake - it was two big quakes spaced out by only seconds... so I admit, I was wondering if maybe it stuttered in Hawaii the same way it's inclined to do here. :)

I'm not sure that's true...I was in SF in the '89 quake (9th floor) and we had our biggest aftershocks hours after the primary.

BTW...I'm a folding buddy!
