Yes, definitely a shaker.



(Why do I suspect that Kevy will quote that one too?)

Yes, that might explain it. A five earthquake file miles from here. Yeah.

Yup, when it it close to home it feels MUCH worse.

I was just thinking of all those travelers at LAX that just felt their first earthquake...

Yep, we were far enough away from this one that it felt like a train was coming.

Not Afraid 05-17-2009 09:19 PM

It felt like the train was in my house.

Felt it here. But only a few seconds so it seemed. Nothing worse than the washing machine does the same thing when i am doing a load of laundry. Life goes on.

Last quake felt it much worse and i was alone. Animals seem fine here.

My parents didn't even feel it although my dad felt something my mom nothing.

My cousin (who's never lived outside of Vegas) just noted on my Facebook that it's "tough to know you'll see a 7.0 someday". I replied, "So will the unsuspecting tourists who happen to be here at the same time."

I love how some people who don't live here pick on us for living in a quake zone, yet they must honestly think it won't happen when they come here on vacation. At least we'll know what to do.

LOL i'd laugh if it happens when we're in Orlando in 15 days lol....

How do you tell a SoCal native apart from a transplant?
