Did you feel that?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Earthquake, here on the coastline of Los Angeles...

A gentle shaking...I'm still feeling it a bit...

Very cool.

Well, for me it is.

Wonder what the USGS is saying...

5. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy

You always make my world shake!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::woohoo::woohoo::hi::hug::hug:

stay safe....



Who hasn't seen the dark corners of great cities, whose small and shabby creatures wander without purpose in the secret corners of the night? Without purpose? There are those whose purpose reaches far beyond our wildest dreams.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Parche!

ROFL!

I'm very safe, thank you sweetie...

:hug:

[IcyPeas]

9. felt it here in century city -

a good jolt and then the building is on rollers so it sways and you feel like you are on a boat.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. That's how it felt to me too...

Like being on a gently rolling boat...

[MineralMan]

10. Earthquake! I miss them a little, I think, since I moved to

Minnesnowta. Just a little, though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I wouldn't miss them!

OTOH, I would be scared of tornadoes...:scared: Or whatever it is you have back there...

I've lived in CA most of my life, and these earthquakes don't bother me...

[MineralMan]

20. Yes. I lived in California for 59 of my years, minus four years for

time in the USAF. I went through many, many earthquakes. We do have tornadoes here, but none that I've seen. Lots of thunderstorms, though, and a siren that sends us down into the basement once or twice every year. Mostly, though, it's the snow and ice that gets to me.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. just downgraded to 5.4

[haele]

14. No, I was apparently coming up the street about to pull in the driveway when it happened.

Didn't feel a thing. No damage to the house, but the bird was apparently squawking because the cats have developed a nasty habit of playing with her cage and she bitches whenever the cage starts moving.

Haele

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. It's rare to feel them when you're driving...

Hope the animals are OK!

[haele]

25. Most of my critters will sleep through them. Except the fish and now the bird.

The fish all gather to lower center area of the aquarium while the water sloshes around, and if it goes on too long, Chuckles starts accusing the cats of shaking her cage in the way cockatiels do. If she gets too upset, the dog starts barking, but that's about it.

We're on bedrock, and in my experiance, that makes a difference to the critter's reactions.

15. Dearest Peg! Here in Big Bear it was a rattlin'!

Two distinct shocks. I yelled to my wife that I thought we just had an earthquake, when BOOM, the second shock hit. Good thing it was in a very sparsely populated area.

Time for an Earthquake Margarita methinks!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Hey sweetie!

Very gentle out here by the beach!

No booms or other such occurrences...

Enjoy your Margarita!

Cheers!

:toast:

[YvonneCa]

19. Could you mix one of those...

...for me? :7

[malaise]

18. Stay safe DUers

:grouphug:

[Booster]

21. For Californians, when they realize they just survived a really big

earthquake, they say "damn, that was fun".

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Nah!

I was saying that while I felt it!

It was very gentle, though...

The bigger, tougher ones cause me to say that afterwards!

:rofl:

22. Here's LA Times story, with downgrade to 5.4

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Thanks for the great article!

[Blue_In_AK]

26. We had one last night, too, CP

A 5.0, quite noticeable, but not enough to be scary.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Blue_In_AK...

Yeah, I heard about it.

5.0 is pretty mild, as these things go.....unless you're right on top of it!
