3. They got it up there fast.
I remember waiting over 15 minutes for reports in the past.

5. I logged on at 5:51 PST, the quake was at 5:48...
...it was already up, initially as unknown magnitude but the strength appeared when I refreshed about two minutes later. That's pretty awesome.

6. I love that site...
...and always use the "Did you feel it?" page. It's interesting to see the distribution of people's subjective impressions of the quake.

7. Eh, no biggee as long as they're not too big.
Once you've been through one, they're not too scary anymore. Kinda fun, actually. :)
