Anybody else feel that?


It was kind of fun. I felt floor boards moving under my feet.

Do it again![:D]


Although high rises probably have a large mess to clean up.

I HIGHLY doubt that picture is on the earthquake damage. I would expect to see some damage but hopefully nobody is badly hurt.

We used to get them up in anchorage all the time.

I only felt one, the one in the midwest a few months ago. Wasn't sure what it was until I got to school that morning and found out that there was an earthquake! These do NOT need to happen more often. They cause a lot of damage to property and people. If you really like earthquakes that much, come to Kings Island. The Beast family will be more than happy to assist you.

I don't think it was an earthquake at all!! I think Oscar had Tex-Mex again for lunch and he is ashamed to admit what it did to his digestive system ... and his neighborhood's plumbing.


Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.

Weird, I just found out there was an earthquake less then a mile from me yesterday. I guess thats why the power went out. Dang little 2.1 on the scale.....you guys in Cali have all the good ones.

I've never experienced (and never hope to) a earthquake.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

I've never felt one either, not even a tornado/hurricane.. I'm missing out on all the fun aren't I? Blah..

I hope I never do because If something like that happens in my town its bound to affect me negatively in some way.

I've felt a couple, they don't happen too often here in England, well, they do, just they're usually like 1.2 or something, which is almost impossible to feel [lol].

But in the last 5 years, we've had two earthquakes in between 4 and 5 on the richter scale. Both happened during the night, both woke me up! [lol]
