Earthquake!

**packetjunkie** · December 9th, 2003, 04:02 PM

4.5 scale just about an hour ago.... funny thing, was sitting here with headphones on and at first thought kids were getting rowdy - then I wondered if I had the shakes or something as my desk was shaking.

But, I'm okay - I know you were all concerned....

We felt it in NC (RDU) to.

Lol.. 4.5

Seriously though, glad nothing fell off your walls and smacked you.

Aint that the truth. I'm not sure if that would even wake me up if I were sleeping. I miss so many earthquakes around here.

**_Mark_** · December 9th, 2003, 05:05 PM

I can't even notice 4.5 anymore - the last 5.5 didn't even budge me.

Glad you made it through that MP!

What's an earthquake?

SUN RA KAT · December 9th, 2003, 05:16 PM

I didn't feel it here. My broken foot was hurting and I had taken a pain pill earlier, so I wasn't feeling just about anything.

It's like a hurricane but different. BTW, since I moved from Florida, I forgot what a hurricane was. What was it again?

You haven't lived till you been through a 7.1 (Northridge).

My sister-in-law came back to Ohio after Northridge. She loved California, but a big earthquake was more than she wanted to endure.

That one was really bad. I remember it. People felt that one for a long way out. Terrible devastation. That was a serious quake.

My dad lived in Northridge but was in PR for an extended vacation so I had to go to his townhome and check it out. There was NOTHING still standing and not a window that didn't break. I had to stay there 5 days to button it up and watch for looters and wait for power to be restored. It was a scary 5 days after being rattled by the big one then having to endure all the aftershocks.
