OPM has a new policy.  Federal employees no longer get snow days or weather and safety leave as it is now called.  We must either take personal leave or telework.  

Good news, though: Mexico is going to pay for your leave. 

Party on everyone. Not winter until I get here. Loving the trends even on the Euro. 

We get it -- you use to live in California.

So, I can tell you this is no big deal other than than novelty of it. They literally tried to evacuate my building and I wouldn't have any of it.

Economic losses largely meaning all the losses as weenies hang out on the street in panic rather than working.

Yes.

Usually the first waves are more mild and they give you a chance to duck and cover before the heavier stuff comes. Now, if you're right at the epicenter, you just get slammed all at once, and there's no difference-- whereas the further you are from the center, the more time there is between the P and S waves.

It also depends on the depth. This one is pretty shallow, so you get less waves and more rumble, in terms of how it feels. The wavey ones are brutal.

East Cost weenies. I'm a transplanted Californian. That was nothing. Everyone go back to work. In 1989, in the Loma Prieta, I was working downtown and almost had a ceiling tile kill me while I hid under a desk.
