Shake,Rattle & roll!

  Yeah baby!   Rode the out with no problems, (stained shorts don't count here) Normally don't feel anything less than a 4, this was felt!  Glad no real damage came from it anywhere.

didn't feel it, but others up here did....i felt CHEATED!

I was in an airplane at the time.  I feel cheated too...

I love earthquakes!  Great job security for me and my company! 

felt like it lasted forever i was in class on the third floor felt like it went for 10-15 seconds cool

That is the first one I have really felt in my 12 years of being here. It was intense for sure. I felt the one this afternoon pretty good as well.

Didn't feel the one today, but I was in SoCal during the Whittier one. I crapped my pants!

<yawn...>

I rode out Loma Prieta in '89...this was a kiddie ride.  We were eating dinner when it hit last night, and while the family was getting wide-eyed I was yelling "woo-hoo!" and sneaking an extra portion while my wife was distracted...

You are now an official "Nor-Cal Boy" 

I've lived  in and around the Bay Area since 1987.....the only Earth Quake I've felt was the
 Loma Prieta in '89 - THAT was a crazy day

I gotta agree with Usagi. After experiencing the 89 quake this was childs play. I didn't even flinch. What was kinda weird though was I was standing out on the back porch and I heard it before I felt it.

Funny how that works, isn't it?  I remember another quake...I think it was the Coalinga one, don't remember for sure, where the same thing happened to me.  I was a mail carrier in Los Gatos, pushing my mail cart along my route when the quake hit.  I didn't feel a thing, but noticed what sounded like bowling balls rolling down the hallway of this big Victorian I was approaching.  Walked up to the house and this little old lady runs out all big-eyed, asking "Did you feel that? Did you??" 

 

 Yeah, the "rumble" may not be as loud as that from lightning, but it is WAY more sinister and bone chilling!  Back in 89' I was living in downtown Santa Cruz. (right off of Ocean St. the main drag into town) The spookiest thing I remember seeing that day,(besides the raw sewage start flowing in the gutters) was watching the waves of the quake roll down the streets! The Waves appeared to 6"- 12" high!

During the Loma Prieta shake, the only thing that fell over was my computer monitor (into my lap). Nothing else was affected. And the first aftershock made me a bit "seasick."
