Earthquake!

[Jouster]

Anyone in LA feel that?

[splunge]

Yup, my first one!

(well, second if you count that pathetic little jolt last year)

[Rick Paulas]

Newsies are saying 5.6, which makes that my biggest yet. Go Earth!

[Liezl]

yep.. that was a good one.

[DiggityDawg]

According to MSNBC, it's a 5.8.

Like a dork, the first thing I thought of was "I wonder if they were recording this week's Never Not Funny when it happened?"

[~ Tiger Lily ~]

you people crazy. i'm going to walk up to the Observatory and watch LA drop into the sea. i hear the observatory will be spared.

[Lord Whorfin]

That was fun. And it seemed to last a while too.

That was my first Earthquake since moving here in January. It felt like I was standing on jello. Weird. I think trading frequent tornadoes for occasional earthquakes is a fair trade-off.

I think they've downgraded it to a 5.4. I've been in plenty of earthquakes but this is the first time I've been in an office with rollers. There's nothing like the workplace being turned into something akin to a choppy boat ride right before lunch.

Unlike the one in 94, i was actually awake for this one

[Batman The Horse]

I think the epicenter was under my apartment. I should lose weight. Sorry guys .

[ProfessorShutYoMouth]

I'm jealous.

[Jawa]

It's a little humid in Chicago.

[Big Box Of Money]

Are any of you guys typing these posts under rubble?

I HOPE NOT!!

Hmmm...National news for a 5.4 earthquake? Kinda wimpy, LA.

I was on a business call to someone in Tustin. They stopped mid-sentence and said, "Earthquake... earthquake..." and I was thinking, "They must be sending someone from the office on a Dairy Queen run," and that the lady I was talking to was ordering the Oreo brownie treat.

When she said, "Get under the desk!," I figured out she wasn't talking to me anymore, and said, "I'll let you go."

As soon as I hung up, the floor beneath me started shaking. I was on the fourteenth floor of a downtown building which is above a metro station. So from what I understand, I was in a location that felt it worse than most.

I was evacuated, gave a ride to a friend who usually takes the metro home, and came back to my place. I wasn't afraid during any of it, no emotional or mental damage whatsoever, but my legs didn't stop shaking for a while.

And that was my first earthquake experience.
