Maybe the timing was coincidental, but it looked like reddit was down for a few minutes after the earthquake (I checked some other sites to make sure it wasn't just my router being silly after power came back). Reminded me a bit of how almost every news website (barring Slashdot) went down on 9/11. I wonder how many sites could handle the load if a serious disaster happened. Makes me reconsider where I'll be able to get info when something bad happens
