Well today was certainly an interesting day. Armor Games went on a company outing to Disneyland since we had Tony (Shift and Indestructotank) and Ido (Portal: The Flash Version) come visit the office all the way from Europe. Only a few minutes after arriving the whole entire place started to shake like crazy. At first I thought it was just a roller coaster or some other ride, but after it started getting stronger I knew it was an earthquake! People were for the most part fairly calm, which was good for there being so many people. After the rumbling stopped we tried calling relatives and friends to find out that the cell phone networks were completely jammed and we couldn’t dial anyone since everyone else was trying to do the same thing. So I managed to get some info from friends via messages that a 5.4 earthquake hit Los Angeles, which is fairly big (biggest in 14 years).Most interesting thing though is that Disneyland completely shut down their rides when it happened, meaning that everyone was without much to do for a couple hours until all the rides could be inspected. Given that Disneyland has 30-40k+ visitors a day, that’s quite a lot of people without attractions to visit! So we just chilled out and luckily things were back and running within a couple hours, but some rides were down for nearly the rest of the day.So a strange day indeed. Luckily it was just a moderate quake and I found my apartment in good order. No one was hurt here but it was definitely odd.
