This is what your stats look like when you’re first to blog an earthquake.

I just happened to be looking at twitter today when the first tweets about the DC earthquake hit. I went and quickly got the stats and info from the USGS and did a blog post about it. That landed me in the #1 slot on Google for about 20 minutes.

After I’d updated the post with all the relevant info I could find, I vegged out on my real time stats (provided by Woopra).

So in case you’re wondering what it looks like to be blitzed by a natural disaster, this is it.

Thanks to Rackspace for not rate-limiting my site during the storm.
