Ooo....earthquake

MrBug708 · 03-16-2010, 06:22 AM

Fairly small in size, but centered about 4 miles from the house

Eaglesfan27 · 03-16-2010, 06:51 AM

Did it wake you up, or were you already awake at 4:22 in the morning?

MrBug708 · 03-16-2010, 06:54 AM

It woke me up but I wake at 430 anyhow

Chief Rum · 03-16-2010, 07:08 AM

4.4, about 2 miles Pico, according to one site I found, around 4:07 a.m. local.

I had just gotten back into bed from a trip to the bathroom. Very short, with a sharp jolt.

I probably would have just slept through it if I hadn't been coincidentally up.

digamma · 03-16-2010, 10:55 AM

Yeah, it woke us up too.

Maybe you should get that checked out, I don't think a sharp jolt is normal. And if you would've slept through it, your bed would probably be wet right now.

bhlloy · 03-16-2010, 11:13 AM

The only reason we woke up was our 2 cats went absolutely insane. A lot of people I've talked to say it felt a lot bigger than a 4.4. I'm really glad that I'm working in a building that is not up to earthquake code this morning, that's for sure.

If your animals are going crazy it maybe time for you to leave the west coast.

Pyser · 03-16-2010, 12:20 PM

I'd rather deal with an earthquake than hurricanes, thanks.

Heh... as soon as I read my post from this morning a moment ago, I had a feeling I would have a response like this.

Not sure why you chose that as your rebuttal but at least you can prepare for a hurricane.

Animals go crazy because they sense it coming.

And other then talking about the big one that might happen in the next 5years, the earthquakes are nothing much

exactly. as long as nothing is damaged, they are literally nothing. rain is more annoying. an earthquake is 7 seconds of your life, then everything is the same as it was 8 seconds ago

i will regret posting that when an 8.0 earthquake hits here, though.

DanGarion · 03-16-2010, 03:15 PM

Never felt it, didn't know about it till I saw a TV later today.

chadritt · 03-16-2010, 03:25 PM

Had a dream I was on my couch during an earthquake, woke up and everyone on facebook was talking about a real one.

Pyser · 04-04-2010, 05:53 PM

wheeeee

that one swayed, didnt shake.

BYU 14 · 04-04-2010, 08:01 PM

We felt very small "tremors" at my house west of Phoenix a couple of hours ago.....lasted like 8-10 seconds and barely able to feel it....Thought I was imagining it for a minute.

You live in Tijuana?

DanGarion · 04-04-2010, 10:04 PM

Today's quake was fairly big at our place, we all felt it. But fortunately we are 300 miles from the epicenter.

MrBug708 · 04-04-2010, 10:15 PM

Didnt feel a thing actually. Only noticed because the pool water was sloshed all over the place

I read the earthquake was centered near Tijuana on the Baja not LA.

Check the date on the post from Bug you first quoted.

Chief Rum · 04-05-2010, 12:38 AM

Never felt it, but I think I was on the freeway at the time.

digamma · 04-05-2010, 12:44 AM

We didn't feel it, but some about 5 miles north of us did.

My first thought as well

bhlloy · 04-05-2010, 01:29 AM

Strange one, things were moving around the house for a good twenty seconds but I couldn't actually feel anything.

digamma · 07-07-2010, 07:03 PM

That was a big one. Rolling variety. Lasted a little while.

JediKooter · 07-07-2010, 07:05 PM

5.4 south of Palm Springs.

Yeah, that was my first earthquake experienced from the top of an office building. That was different. A really major one in a high rise must be quite an experience.

Logan · 07-07-2010, 07:22 PM

My girlfriend is out there for the week...just got a text from her that she napped through an earthquake.

MrBug708 · 07-07-2010, 07:37 PM

Def. a roller, but I didnt think it was as big as it was

Pyser · 07-07-2010, 07:41 PM

good shaking at the office in santa monica

chadritt · 07-07-2010, 07:47 PM

My office decided to evacuate us. Considering I work in a windowless room and I was put next to a giant glass door im not sure that was a good idea.
