Felt my first quake today

[SD_Eagle5]

Was doing my usual Sunday routine of drinking beer and flipping through games, when the ground started shaking and the room started to rumble. It lasted for about 30 seconds, I walked outside and some dipshtein in a Raiders hat (Go figure) says "Did you feel that". I flip to the local stations and sure enough there was a 4.6 quake near San Clememte island (around 2:00). Living here for 9 years and that was my first one, what an experience.

Worst feeling.

EVER.

The minute it ended when I felt my first one, I was on the phone with my parents telling them I wanted to come home. Its not normal to feel your HOUSE move underneath your feet.

Really? I thought it was pretty cool

It is, but only if you've got a great stereo.

Believe it or not ships tend to move a lot so the feeling isn't as odd as you'd think.

Wait, things in water move around? Get outta here.

Shocking, I know

[General_Failure]

Well now I don't know what to think. I'm stunned.

Its not normal to feel your HOUSE move underneath your feet.

It is if you live in a trailer or if I'm shagging someone in the next room.  You know what they say; "If the trailer's a rockin' don't come a knockin." 

Or if T-hawk's mom is making a midnight run to the fridge.

I was in SF during the 89' quake.  In a department store on Market St.  I was more freaked out by everyone's reaction out on the street.  You would think people in the Bay Area would be used to it but the look on people's faces was like "this ain't right".  Needless to say it was quite an adventure the next couple of days witnessing everything first hand, like the marina district.  Finally got back home a few days later once the airport reopened.

You're right about that. The bad part of most earthquakes is that someone panicking frantically wakes you, no disturbs your sleep and scares you and makes you think something is wrong and all you hear is 'earthquake'. They wake you up when you could have slept right through most of them. Go back to sleep.

Fine, I'm a Hoyda.

But you and every idiot out there that KNOWS you could, one day, no longer be attached to the rest of the country..yet STILL live there and laugh off earthquakes....you're all dumb as farg.

And those of you that are dumb as farg to think that a shift in the plates drastic enough to detach half of california from the continental U.S. can happen in one serving...go ahead, keep sounding dumb as farg. I believe a meteor hitting the planet earth would be less drastic.

*Note, for those of you that aren't experts in plate tectonics or aren't seismologist such as PG...the breaking up of california from the rest of you will take somewhere around one to three million years.

So, anything else Hoyda?
