A few earthquake photos

Today's new word is liquifaction, whereby some soils take on the properties of liquids when loaded, such as by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake! Anyway here are a couple of photographs from a nearby park where the soil has bubbled up like mini volcanoes. Lovely patterns.
Our trip to the park involved a detour as we found that the road had moved somewhat. I like the way the white line has shifted.

Though we are getting fewer aftershocks, Josh has decided to sleep under his bed for added protection! No school or work on Monday, but Ali has to go in and sort her classroom out.
