I'm going to go for a 4.5.
EARTHQUAKE WATCH UPDATE: Preliminary results: 5.3 just north of Yucaipa (about 100 miles to the east of EQW HQ). Our Richter Reporters are standing by... [DEVELOPING: downgraded to a 4.9. Given the distance, my estimate was right on target. Plus, hours before the MSM got to the story...]
BREAKING HARD: Our Inland Empire reporting crew informs us that Yucaipa is actually just 70 miles or so east...
BREAKING: *** QUAKE-CRAZED ANIMAL ATTACKS BLOG REPORTER ***
It appears that one of our blog reporters, citizen journalist pioneer Lonewacko, has been attacked by a quake-crazed animal. Where are you now, LW?
"I'm at EQW HQ. However, the incident occurred in Griffith Park."
Are you OK?
"Yes, I appear to be fine, although I'm still a little shaken up."
What happened?
"After the big quake, I decided to go for a hike. I need to keep in shape so I can cover the breaking stories, plus I wanted to head towards high ground in case of a tsunami. Plus, if any rifts opened in the Earth due to the quake, I wanted to be there to cover it. So, there I was, enjoying a bit of a view... when suddenly I was attacked... I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right lower upper arm... I realized that the quake had caused animals to go nuts... in this case it was a member of the Apoidea superfamily that attacked me..."
And, that would be?
"That's a bee, Chuck. I was stung by a bee. However, I'm pretty sure it had been agitated by the tremor."
