As a native Californian I thought I was used to earthquakes (was around in SF for the '89 Loma Prieta quake), but my heart is pounding. I'm in the city next to the epicenter.

I was taking a shower on the 2nd floor (lots of swaying) when it happened. I finished up fast in case there were strong aftershocks. Phew. No damage in the house. No gas smells or power/water outage. My housemates, who are from out-of-state, freaked out.

Wheeeeeeee!

One broken vase, couple of books off the shelves, some really pissed-off rabbits, some sleeping other critters, some terrified kittens. Oh, and the dishwasher slid out a bit.

Me? Was standing in the doorway and considering giving-up atheism. This is an OLD building and we're up a few stories, so things really moved.

I somewhat dread to imagine what my apartment looks like, but it's nearer the ground and a more recently constructed building. Still I figure there's a few books on the floor at least.

this building was built in 1929 (i'm on the 2nd floor) and the ONLY sign that a quake hit here was that the medicine cabinet door popped open. nothing fell, nothing broke...

it's a good thing bookshelves exist. otherwise it'd be a lot harder to get a feel for a quake's magnitude.

!!!!

wow

Look on the one dude's face is priceless.

Earthquake measuring 6.2 has hit near the coast of California

Or even http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2008zya2.php

it's 5.4 mag,
it's 6.2 miles out

no, it's 6.2 miles deep, 150 miles from the Humboldt County coast, 300 miles from SF

haha oh yeah

Whee.

Yeah, I just felt that.

was just looking for this

5.0

Location?

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/117-34.html

Darn Inland Empire.

all empires must fall

sure there are a LOT of homeowners currently "underwater" with their mortgage that wouldn't mind a nice 7-8

I didn't feel this one!

Drunk.

Ned get on chatz.

Uh okay.

hmmmm. what is this Miss missing? "Been Dazed and Confused"....Is there a non ILX chatz happening or was that part of a previous EQ? Just accused (not really accused, who am I to judge) Ned of being drunk, as it looked like he posted that he was...but then again I am skittish for the last couple of days and it's possible this has led to my total and complete mind/brain meltdown. I feel all ILX newbie now *blushes* and hopes someone finds it cute and not obnoxious.

Notz from a soon-to-be-divorced, LA Spinster (is that a legal term?) & soon-to-be-paranoid/schizophrenic-if-this-keeps-up LA native, surely this MUST be a legal term:

-1st they take your TVs away
-Then they shake the ground
-Then they take away the cat
-and soon you're on your way
to the looney bin...where the men in their smooth white coats....
<a href=";>they're coming to take me away, ha ha, ho ho....
</a>

maybe I should be posting to ask a drunk now, since as soon as the "earth moved" we slammed our martinis, and I think that I might be....
DRUNK!!!!!

note: the above-referenced drunk thread does not make me any less scared out of my mind about earthquakes...

and the cat is now completely wasted, passed-out-dead-to-the world-from martini-overload, "CAT-A-TONIC" (she hates tonic!!)

I am sorta "home-alone" scared yet anticipating the "Big One" and freakin' out myself, (and I didn't drink ANY tonic)!

I demand a series of drunken wiggy woo posts to accompany all california earthquake revives from now on

it's been downgraded to 4.5
no offense wiggy but it was over in less than 3secs, one a few months ago was much scarier

This quake was less than 5 miles from me! Even then, I barely felt it.

Hi Velko & naus, tonight I am a home-alone-alarmist, i felt the bigger one a few months ago and made a similar fuss. no offense taken....anytime the earth even jiggles for one second, I freak out (yes I am a native and born in Santa Monica)

ha ha ha, Tombot, don't make me scare you with my drunken posts for they often involve photos; and just last month my photo post horrified the lady of ILX, Ms. ENBB. She will fookin hunt me down and kill me if I again post my middleage sorryazz self to ILX. The traffic generated was scandalous and caused internet freeze/meltdown, for no damn good reason, it was all hearsay, based I guess on Ms. ENBB! ROFFLES!!! nothing funny here, move along...

Feeling semi*-vindicated-
b/c cal tech is saying that this was an unusual quake causing stronger waves that may result in stronger waves in certain areas. Whatever the heck that means... (and I love Dr. Lucy Jones and Dr. Kate Hutton) this fellow was not anything except a spokesperson for Caltech... nervously yours, wiggy. **please be here when the horrid real thing eventually happens**

ooh, i felt that

Absolutely nothing down here. That or I'm more tired than I thought.

4.4, out in the west valley

serves them right

it was the porn

shakey move cali earth

xp

t-minus whatever until chaki calls me out for saying westlake village is the "west valley"

totally different area code but close enough. lol @ white flight = all same.

We haven't had a good one for a month or so

speak for yourself
