Hi David - we very much felt the earthquake and many aftershocks. Our  
apartment is on the 4th floor of in a 16th century building and it was  
swaying more than I recall from any distant M~6 I've ever felt. Things  
here at INGV are as crazy as you'd expect.

Anyway, I'm attaching a strain-rate file. I'm a little worried because  
I don't have the facilities here for plotting it, so I hope it looks  
OK. It will probably require some smoothing because the file has nodes  
at all upper crustal depths (perhaps that will be accomplished during  
the gridding process).

Last caveat - The boundary condition regions in the Basin and Range  
and Cascadia are designed to impose the proper conditions on  
California and are thus not well resolved internally.

All the best, Tom
