As of 8:40 p.m., no damage or injuries were reported on the Stanford campus. The university will be open for all scheduled classes, activities and business on Wednesday.</p>
<p>More information will be posted as it becomes available.</p>

<p>I'm from California, so I wasn't fazed. I was on the phone, and I said, "Hmm, my room is shaking.... All right, it's over." However, the non-Californians in my hall came out of their rooms and were like, "WHOA!!! Cool - an earthquake!" Some were also nervous. Ah, the cuteness of naivety.</p>
