Seattle
It wasn't too bad, I was at work(the Fire Station) and the building started shaking. Went running outside and watched the ground heave for a little while. Power went out, no real damage evident while driving around. Had a bunch of calls for smell of natural gas,and a few chest pain calls. Everyone had to get on the road in their cars and get on their cell phones. So,with the traffic and the fact that the traffic lights were out, responding to calls was a little hectic for a while, but after about two hours everyone figured that the world was going to continue turning, and things got calm again. There was a big mess at the Safeway, the whole wine isle fell onto the floor- the only true tragedy that I was witness to. Other than that, it was no real big deal.
