Several buildings were damaged, and my flight was cancelled due to Sea-Tac closing for damage examinations and repairs. Evidentally this quake originated from one of two faults in the state. Although this was about a 6.8 on the scale, damage was contained because the fault that caused it is about 30 miles beneath the surface. I've had several people assure me that if it had been the other fault, which is very close to the surface, I would have been buried under rubble.
Not a very reassuring thought.
I've been warned to expect aftershocks. I'll let you know what we feel.
