I'll always remember having to go out onto two dams the day after over concern they moved due to the quake. They didn't move a single bit. Was always tempted to screw with the data to show it was now the shape of a banana. Don't miss that part of the job anymore. Nice views tho.
On the phone, it cuts out, one min of my building shaking like crazy, hoping it didn't fall down, spending a long time trying to make calls to everyone saying "did you feel that?!! was that a quake?!!!"
