My husband nearly got beaned by his monitor at work (it was on a sort of hydraulic arm thingy and was swinging all over the place), but was otherwise okay. I don't think anyone was seriously hurt in that one, either, just a lot of building facades tumbling to the ground in downtown Seattle and some damage to the airport. It was just really freaky to get that fast busy signal when I tried to call rackham at work, not think anything of it and then see that headline. I wound up staying at my aunt's place for a few hours, trying to reach him via email or IM.
We like to joke, though, that I miss out on all the fun. I think every major earthquake we've had here has been while I was out of town.
