it's not the size of the earthquake, bruce, it's how you use it.

Glad your alright Mike.

The most amazing thing to me about the few earthquakes I have been in was the "rolling" ground. In high school ('01 or '02) I tried to go under the desk (thoes things only fit tiny people underneath) as the teacher instructed and while on the ground I could see rolling waves on the floor(it was a tile on cement floor and I saw it flex like there is no tomarrow but it did not crack or break.

Glad to hear all is well and that it was a small one.

All that in 10 seconds... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> that's pretty good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Reminds me of how things get at my house when there's a tornado warning... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, again, everyone.

Earthquakes are actually very interesting and fun to experience, but you have to remind yourself that it could suddenly get damaging, and remind yorself to take it seriously.

Glad that you are ok!!!!!

Nice work. I was never fast enough to do much before they were over. Northridge was a bit different but I was far enough south that it was not as big a deal as it was for folks in LA.

Perhaps you should start visiting this guy's site. http://cbs13.com/local/local_story_304085432.html

He predicted the earthquake and feels he has a 75% success rate.
