    My First Cali earthquake

    So this morning, I could have sworn someone was shaking my bed, I even looked for the perpetrator underneath. Then I realised 'IT WAS MY FIRST'
    earthquake that is. 5.5 in anza, CA somewhere in the desert.

    Eh, that doesn't count as an earthquake... didn't even wake me up. I feel more shaking when the woman next door walks.

    If I had been indoors I would have thought it was just the building, but I was standing outdoors for the Star Spangled Banner at my graduation in SD. The people around me didn't seem to feel it. And I agree with Hapoo, it was unfulfilling. If it had been a lot bigger I wouldn't have had to sit through all 750 name butcherings.

    On a side note, I guess we have a graduate named Ti-Vo.

    That little earthquake didn't even shake up this round this morning.

    I felt the quake this morning. At first I though it was the dog scratching. Then, I realized that the dog was outside.

    I was driving, so I didn't feel it under the shakes induced by my "creative" driving this morning.

    However, my head pastor was apparently preaching the morning service at the time it happened, so he did tell me that later.

    never felt a earthquake and really don't want to. I think the last time we had an earthquake was like a hundred years ago or something like that.

    Hahaha. I remember meeting people from the gulf states and whenever I'd make fun of their humidity and hurricanes their retort was always, "Well, at least we don't have earthquakes!"

    Earthquakes aren't that bad, generally. It's usually just some gentle rocking. Now, I'm not saying that I enjoy the bad ones or anything, but earthquakes aren't nearly as bad as people seem to fear.

    it is too fearful they are unpredictable you never have warning you don't know if it will cause damage or what. I take the killer humidity and heat.
