I had forgotten about WA state shakeout drill! I'm still recovering from the adrenaline of hearing the sirens of a nearby facility going full blast for two minutes. I guess in past years I just ignored it, but nowadays that type of thing makes me jump.
Anyway, how are your earthquake preparations doing? I should probably check my emergency bag, as I have not done it in years. It may still have emergency clothes from when the Kid was a wee little one 😅

I was awake before the UTC time zone alert and had one earbud in while I was listening to a podcast. The podcast was interrupted by the man speaking the alert. For the PST alert about 20 minutes ago, no spoken alert, just a notification pop up. This time phone was connected to aux in car, so I would have expected same behavior? Unless they just didn’t do an audible this time. #MyShake #GreatShakeOut #ShakeOut #Earthquakes #Seismology
Morning-a few hours left until today's #ShakeOut! https://t.co/QgLG0lVKAh
The beaten-up underside of my (self-built) desk during #shakeOut. I think my beefy central leg construction would give me pretty good protection.
Awkwardly, #California near the Bay Area had a small quake yesterday, the day before the #ShakeOut drill.
The tectonic plates clearly haven't been involved in practice coordination.
In EDT it's almost time for #Shakeout2023. At 10:19 you should crawl under your desk for a minute.
It's a practice for #earthquake preparedness. If there are problems doing it now, you can address them and be ready to #dropCoverHoldOn in case a real quake happens.
the #myshake test scheduled for 10:19am PDT went out at 10:19 am UTC, which is 3:19am #earthquake #shakeout
