Wow. It must suck having to worry about earthquakes happening. We had a 4.something eathquake here when i was like 3 years old, and it scared the [censored] out of me.

It's really not that scary, and a 3.0 is nothing to fret over. Just the proximity of my apartment to the epicenter made it feel awesome because the waveform hadn't had a chance to dissipate yet.

A good size earthquake will scare most anyone, but it really is funny seeing people from out of state panic at a 3.0 or something. Lots of us Angelenos don't even get out of bed if it's not at least a 6.

I grew up in Alaska, and to me a 6 also isn't much. When I was really young we had a huge one that broke a ton of [censored] in my parent's house. And especially after having felt that 7.9 in November of 2002 I'm not losing sleep over worrying about "the big one." This one just felt particularly awesome because it wasn't just a long rumble, it was one quick strong shake because I am so close to the slip point.

So it felt cool? what you need to do is built some sort of simulator to sell to amusement parks. You can shop it to Disneyland

My first earthquake in Cali, I slept through. My aunt was suprised I didn't notice it. My dorm room in college was near train tracks where a train would pass by every 3 hours. That is probably why I didn't feel it.

The second one I was awake for. I thought a train was passing by, then I realized there are no train tracks near me.

The third one I didn't feel it due to working on some machinery that vibrates alot (no not a dildo).

I want to feel a large earthquake, I think it would be cool.

The only earthquake I've ever felt that was worth it was the Loma Prieta quake in '89. At least that one had the house seeming like it was oriented sideways and stuff. That was cool.

Everything after that was a major letdown and I'm not even getting out of my chair for anything less than a 6 anymore.

It is kind of cool. What's kind of eerie is the strange way you can suddenly slip sideways from either, This is worth ignoring or This is cool, to OMFG I'm going to DIIIIIEEEEEEE !!!!!! with seemingly no intervening steps.

there was an earthquake tonight?

either I was on the road or I was too drunk to know.

either way, I'm sorry I missed it. earthquakes are fun as long as people don't get hurt. then it's sad.

When I was living in SB we had a 3.something overnight and my parents freaked but I slept soundly through it. Then again, I slept through Hurricane Andrew, too.

I like me some earthquakes, was in Beverly Hills and Laurel Canyon tonight and didn't feel this one. I always think the rain has something to do with them, and to me it makes sense, but the scientists say No. [censored] them, man. [censored] em all.
