Wow. That's a different one than I was thinking of - holy crap! It's always freaky to see footage from the outside of what the quakes look like, because when you're in it, you can't really see how much is shaking, or how far. The way those big CPU towers were rocking... (brr)
And ouch, your poor husband! I can really imagine what you're talking about here, those monitors on the positionable arms. Who would've thought that'd be an occupational hazard?
I wish someone would've had a webcam setup where I was during the '89 quake here - I remember running across a floor that felt like it was doing a serious waveform, like an ocrean wave, but I couldn't really see it, exactly, so I'll never be sure. Although maybe I should be glad I couldn't see it. The walls were rocking, and I could certainly see that. Not a good feeling at all.
