I know that Gini can back me up on this......as
stupid as it sounds....
Yes, I felt it-but you never get used to it....when a huge truck rumbles past the house the
first thing you do is look for ANYTHING that hangs
in the area....
After the 87 earthquake I put up a steel nut on a piece of string, with a sign that said 'earthquake dectector" above it....
Once you KNOW that it's an earthquake you look for a place to run to SHOULD the shaking get worse...
There are the gentle swaying EQ's, like today's-
Then you get the ROCK MY WORLD quakes that make things jump up and down and side to side!
The one thing I remember about the '94 quake was chocolate cake..... when I got to my parent's house I walked thru the kitchen to see a choco cake that was upside down on the counter.....I LOVE CHOCO CAKE and was really bothered that this one got wasted.........When I asked my mom about it she told me that the freezer opened, the cake jumped across a five foot gap only to commit suicide, upside down, on the counter.
It was the ONLY thing that made the leap.....everything else stayed inside...![]()

This one was particularly long....about 30-40 seconds.......an eternity when you are scared!!!!
