Today the earthquake hit us! They should stop issuing rankings like that. Seattle got hit badly and we escaped with minor "rockin and rolling". I lost a drill as I was crossdrilling a stainless steel lever and the drill-jig shifted. I have also decided to bolt my 1200 lbs milling machine to the floor, after having seen it dancing across the floorboards. Not a dance partner you want to embrace! No damage otherwise in Vancouver - cellphones were out for 30-40 minutes, lots of frustrated drivers trying to redial while their SUV zigzagging across the roadways. As for what exposure to use - 1/1000 and whatever f-stop fits that. Tripod would not work as EVERYTHING is moving. Tom A
