Re: earthquake
They're saying on the local news 4.8 no big deal,especially if you grew up in Los Angeles.

Re: earthquake
Not a big deal, I'm sure, but exciting from this kid from the midwest, who has never felt an earthquake before. Nice that our introduction was pretty minor. :)

Re: earthquake
It was funny. I had just got back from Chiapas this afternoon. I was exhausted so was in bed taking a late siesta....then....bump!....
I knew from experience it was an earthquake, but decided to check the clock to confirm later. 5:36pm on my clock. Then I rolled over and closed my eyes again.

I experienced my first earthquake in.....Ohio! It was July 1986 and was 4.9. Woke everyone up in the sleepy little town of Wapakoneta. That was when I discovered there was a fault line about five miles south of Wapak.
Oh, and I did feel yesterdays quake. Husband said it was just thunder although I felt differently. This was in Chapala Haciendas.

Re: earthquake
We moved from KC in Missouri. Read many stories about the New Madrid fault and associated quakes in 1811-12. Always wondered if it might happen again and hoped we wouldn't be around as it would be devastating with modern day population centers around the area.barbicheesecake wrote:I experienced my first earthquake in.....Ohio!

In the Missouri bootheel area. When the big quake hit, it rang church bells in Boston and made the Mississippi river run backward!

Re: earthquake
Dang. This afternoon I noticed a broken wall mirror in the guest bedroom's bathroom, which I rarely go into. Jumped right off the wall I guess. Whoops!
