we had an earthquake just now

Whoa we just had an earthquake, I can alway's feel them when I'm upstairs, 3.8 not big but it shook pretty good here, I hate them things

Skeery!! Im glad we dont have those around here. I would hate it!! Glad your alright though.

I've never experianced an earthquake myself and I'd imagine I'd be quite shocked if I did.

I've seen a tornado or two in Kansas that were worse than any earthquake I've seen. Glad the earthquake wasn't too bad. Whereabouts is this now?

Eeekk! I'm glad to hear everyone's okay. They only earthquake I have ever experienced around here was a very mild one that awoke me from my sleep. It felt like someone was at the end of my bed shaking it. When I woke up the black light had turned on from the shake. It really freaked me out and I thought there was a ghost in my room. It made me feel a lot better when I saw the news the next morning.

Well actually had 3 in a row, small ones

Oh gosh! I experienced a tremmor when I was a kid and I'll never forget that! I don't even like it when I feel my house shake now!

I did have a friend from California once tell me that riding your bike durring an earthquake is really cool! I'll just take her word for it!

I experienced an earthquake in college (yes, northwest Arkansas has earthquakes, some splinter fault off the New Madrid). I thought someone was under my bed playing a joke on me (I lived in the dorms, 3rd floor). I'm glas everyone's all right!

whew! good thing your ok. in MO all we get alot of tornados. they dont really scare me too much. i havent been in a really bad one yet. *knocks on wood* i've never experinced an earthquake. *knock on wood again*

Oh I've been through pretty good ones 6.1, 6.7, and one that was bigger can't remember what it was.. My biggest fear is that it will happen to be a big one when I'm home alone like the middle of the night my hubby works graveyard. Plus I can never figure out where the best place to be is upstairs or downstairs Do I want to fall through the celing or have it fall on me if it's a big one. Plus the first one was like 3.8 and Dunkin didn't like it much, didn't bother the other 7, if its a big one though they won't be happy campers I bet... I'm not really afraid of them it's just the longer they last the worse it it..

I don't know if we felt it here in LA, but I know I didn't feel it. I slept right through it.

No they were here local in San Bernardino county and they were small 3.8 and less.

Earthquakes are one reason I don't think I'd like to live in California. I remember experiencing one on the East Coast as a kid, and now live in an "earthquake area", but we usually only get very "mild" ones; the last fairly big one was back in the late 70s. Aren't you supposed to go outside if one hits? That's one reason I keep the pet carrier handy.

Yikes! I don't think an earthquake would be fun. No matter how small!

Well they keep saying were due for a big one and it has been a good while without one, there were five 3.8 and under yesterday evening and through the night... Not looking forward to anything bigger myself..

We have rumbles all the time here in Spain. When I first moved here, we were in bed when it rumbled, I thought it was one of my cats have a good old scrat

wow we had a 3.5 earthquake here not too long ago, in NE Ohio! I didn't think we get them here but I guess we do. I didnt feel anything though.

I've never been through one!!, I imagine it's very scary.

If it's a small one, your reaction is usually, "Huh? Why did the windows and doors just slam shut?" I managed to sleep through the last one here, which actually caused some structural damage in our area. I did wonder why Jamie was sleeping on my head when I got up - that's something he hasn't done since he was little, because I discourage it (6 kilograms of cat on your head isn't comfortable).

My ex-husband slept through 3 of them. When he woke up after the 1st one, he thought the apartment had been ransacked. Of course, he could sleep through me vacuuming right next to the bed.
