did you feel the quake?
 

i did...

yay! :D

5.1

i was sitting watching tv, 'bout a two-three second shake.

Quake - not yet - I'll wait for the aftershocks.

I felt it. Whoa, there it is again. Hey, what's that smell? (This is the humour that kills me and my boys and drives my wife and daughters crazy)

Let the little ones roll. Hopefully, they'll relieve some stress from the BIG one.

I heard it. Usually do if it is quiet enough.

Was below deck, which puts me just about waterline. A snap sound, then a rumble.

I was aboard the boat for today's San Clemente Island shaker.

Re: did you feel the quake?
 

Considering that it says "earth" as your location, I'm sure you feel a lot of quakes. SmileWavy

Nope! But then I'm sitting in my hotel in Fredericksburg VA so if I did I would expect nothing left in SoCal. Good news is no cicada's in sight, but it in the high 80's and raining. Not good for a SoCal wearing a shirt and tie.

oh yeahhhh.... its been awhile. I think we're due for a good one.

I have been watching the sites for a while. Prior to the Paso Robles quake, it had been pretty quiet for a year or two. A 'period of subsciendence' as Lucy Jones called it. She said that was scary.

Since then, there have been lots of little daily ones all up and down the coast, on all the usual faults.

This is a great site.

Was standing at the copy machine at work. Two ladies in the office asked, "Did you just feel that earth quake"? Didn't feel a thing. I was in a 7.2 to 7.6 quake once. I felt that.

Didn't feel a thing in Van Nuys. Good thing though, I really hate those things sneakin up on you from underground, just not fair I say. I'll take a huricane or a typhoon any time.

You California wussies. We get quakes around here all the time and you don't here us going on about it:D In fact just had one yesterday. Bet you didn't read about it in your newspaper. I live about 150 miles from the epicenter of the worst earthquake in U.S. history and I bet none of you CA guys even know about it! From the history books:

"In December of 1811, a the largest earthquake ever recorded in American History started. This earthquake, called the New Madrid Earthquake because of its primary location on the New Madrid Fault, near New Madrid, Missouri. From the effects of the 1811-1812 earthquakes, it can be estimated that they had a magnitude of 8.0 or higher on the not yet invented Richter scale. Large areas sank into the earth, new lakes were formed, and the Mississippi River changed its course due to the earthquakes."

Big deal! Have you walked six miles through a raging brush fire to go to school? Some of us "wussies" have. Now that's adversity! :D

Up hill...both ways on a blistering 72degree day with the onshore breeze blasting us from the left. That wasn't really a raging brush fire as much as it was a couple locals tokeing up before hitting the surf.
