[RICHARD]

At 12:58 a.m. in cah lee fuh nee ah!

This thing rocked! :eek: :p

That's the last time I'll drink vodka after midnight!

[KYS]

It woke me up and I ran to the door well. It seemed short and
none of my hanging lights were moving. I thought maybe I was
wrong and it was a sonic boom. I haven't turned on the news yet.

As Page, Plant and the boys would say....

Ain't nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine......
Ain't nobody's fault but mine :eek:


It was a good one.

The house started to move a bit, then it just kinda snapped.

You start looking at things move and before you know it, it's over.

Actually you are looking at when it's gonna stop and where you are going to run to. :D

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh dear! I heard nothing about this at all.I am hoping that means no-one was hurt?

They're "easily amused" out on the Left Coast.

Nope, it lasted about 10 seconds -it really moved.

The ones that last longer are the ones that do the damage.

The 'nice' things about quakes is that they are all of a sudden and all your stuff is left in a pile.

Twisters, tornadoes and hurricanes (why do the call them "hurry" canes - it seems like they take their time passing over...) let you know they are coming and leave your stuff all over god's green acre.

We have to be easily amused over here. It's the only way to survive!

Just over the wires.....A bridge off the 14 Freeway was damaged. :eek:

[Edwina's Secretary]

[RICHARD]

I slept through another one?????????

Be thankful.
The ones that you are awake for will make you wish you were knocked out. :eek: :D

[RedHedd]

I heard my neighbors down south were rockin' - so what did the cats do? 4.5? Meh, that's nuthin' :cool:

[Chica]

Hey Richard!!!I was sort of awake when the earthquake hit. My 2 Chi's ran under the bed, and the house was rattling everything.I thought it was going to last longer than it did. Thank GOD it was a short one. 4.5.YIKES!!!!

Richard ~ The Alaska Tsunami Warning Center has good information on quakes. http://www.earthquake.usgs.gov/

It looks like they recorded your earthquake was 4.6
There was a 6.7 on the Aleutian Islands the other day. But, since hardly anyone lives there, I imagine only the sea lions got a "thrill".

If you click on the link to your earthquake, it gives you more info.

Earthquake Details

At the bottom is a link to "Did your feel it?" It asks you questions like: How would you best describe the ground shaking?
How would you best describe your reaction?
How did you respond?

Hmmm, don't see any questions about whether it was your birthday. :p But, I guess that could be the answer to all of the above questions. :D
