Experience a minor earthquake

The worst part was waiting for the after shakes to stop and the clean up totally sucked!

It felt like a train hit the house and then shook for about 20 seconds – it was apparently a 4.5.

Cool but scary too.

It was great fun, back in 1989.
There have been small ones since, but that was a great shaker!

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and there are small earthquakes here like every week according to the USGS. But I always miss them! This past week there was a 3.4 in Moraga, but I was in the car at that time so I didn’t feel it. I even have a widget that tells when there’s been an earthquake.

I grew up in Northern California, so earthquakes are a regular event. The small little jolting ones are a little exciting. Everyone stops what they are doing—an instance of hyper awareness… However, the big quake in ‘89 was scary. I still get nervous while going over bridges…

I live in california… it happens all the time.

Feb. 2004 in Manzanillo, Mexico. A very exciting moment but not sure if I want to do a repeat.

but it’s definitely interesting to have done.

there have been a few but the most memorable was my first (of course) Whittier Narrows Quake of ‘87, i believe it was a 6.1.

Seattle, Washington, I think it was in 1996. We had gone to this theatre to see Ghost in the Shell, and afterwards went to the car and were sitting in it having some ice cream, and it felt like someone was bouncing up and down on the car bumper.

Dillon Montana 1999. I had been in my house just a few weeks- the kids slept right through it. I was stoked! LOL
