007: Boise Media Going Nuts Over NV Quake

re: EARTHQUAKE! Still shakin': Aftershocks follow 6.0 quake/KTVB

The historic district of Wells, Nev., sustained severe damage today after an earthquake hit the small eastern Nevada town. The magnitude of the quake, initially estimated at 6.3, was later revised to 6.0 by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. (AP Photo/Elko Daily Free Press, Ross Anderson)

The media is going absolutely nuts here in Boise over this earthquake. When returning from lunch, I actually heard an interview with a state employee who was at work really early this morning (!), and she said when the earthquake hit, her chair moved a bit and she looked over and saw her co-worker's plant moving, and the plant would not stop moving!!!/James Bond.
