1:15pm update: Crews have finished their inspections and found no damage.
Original report: You probably didn’t feel the 3.4 quake near Duvall around 5:20 this morning, but that small shaker has crews out inspecting the Ballard Bridge and the Magnolia Bridge. SDOT calls those bridges “indicator posts” that show if further inspections need to be done across the city. While some crews may be seen on the deck on the Ballard Bridge this morning, most of the inspection of the Magnolia Bridge will take place under the structure.
Were the quakes strong enough to break open the Earth’s crust, and absorb the bums and their Safeway Cart City into the depths of Hades?
No? Oh well, we tried. :(
