Awesome Los Angeles Earthquake

I'd appreciate you including a works cited page if you copy my work, or else the next one will be a 9.

All the best,

Chuck.

Hrm. Didn't feel anything up in N. Hollywood. There was some extreme discomfort, but that was completely party poker's doing, nothing earthly.

I love earthquakes.....at least the ones that don't level cities....so I'm sorta bummed I didn't feel it.

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.

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

Yeah it felt cool. There was a split second when the shaking was so strong I thought my ceiling was going to come down but that thought quickly subsided and my thoughts went to "[censored], this is awesome" and I wondered how big it was going to end up being. Turns out I should have been wondering how close it was going to end up being.

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.

The thing a lot of people in this thread are failing to understand is that the shaking they feel from an earthquake is dependent on more factors than just its number on the Richter scale. What is also important is the distance to the epicenter and type of ground between the epicenter and them.
