Earthquake Rose
An old friend, Brian, sent me this link to what happens to a sand pendulum when an earthquake hits. The sand pendulum was in Port Townsend during the recent earth quake.

Wanna see a sonic boom?
"You see this vapor flicker around the plane that gets bigger and bigger. You get this loud boom, and it's instantaneous. The vapor cloud is there, and then it's not there. It's the coolest thing you have ever seen."
