On the news this morning here in Cleveland they said that people in our area (North East Ohio) felt it.

One of the news casters as at home and awake at the time and felt it and heard his sky lights in his apartment creaking!

I heard on this mornings news! 5.4 on the whatever scale... pictures from all over the area, as far away as Kentucky. Oh Liz I was thinking of you and all else in those parts. When/if you live or ever have lived in California you sort of know what it is and what to do. But MY...

Just stopped in to see if anyone had posted about it as yet.

Here is the AP report:

Yep! We woke up.. was at 4:37am. I woke up and just laid there.. was like uhh... thats interesting. LOL. Dogs woke up, but I dont think they acted out of the ordinary. And of course my worrywort mom called me 10 minutes later. She grew up in CA though, so she kind of knows what to expect I guess...

I lived in CA for 7 years, never felt one earthquake, move to MO and 16 years later.. an earthquake. So weird.

News says we're had 6 aftershocks as well... 4.5 was the last one. But I didnt feel any of them.

I hope nothing more happens. *fingers crossed* I've been watching my niece (8 mos) all week, so I would hate for something to happen while I have her.

... In Cleveland they said that people in our area (North East Ohio) felt it.

And some of us Slept right through it!

Zipp & Zopp had exchanged places last night - Cinder had the Inside Spot (under the covers)
and SmokeMutt had the Foot Guard position (mostly On Top of my feet).
To my knowledge ~ NUNbuddy woke up for The Big Shake!

Maybe next time ...

[RedHedd]

I heard about that. We're "celebrating" the 102nd anniversary of San Francisco's big quake in 1906 today

[catland]

glad everyone's ok.

last big quake we had here in Portland was back over 15 years ago. Our kitty Crystal woke us up with her meows moments before we felt it.

Ahem,

Call us when you get past a 6.0 shaker.

They are really good when they get to the 'Exorcist/I am possessed stage'.

When it stops you crawl out of bed. Then people that give you a score for riding it out-Kinda like a PETA rodeo....no bulls or broncs involved.

---------------------

Have you all been misbehaving out there?

[RedHedd]

Ahem,

Call us when you get past a 6.0 shaker.

I'm with RICHARD

Well if you have to have an earthquake, It's better to sleep through it.

[lizbud]

Ahem,

Call us when you get past a 6.0 shaker.

What's the largest quake recorded for California?

[Cincy'sMom]

I was in Indy this morning, but not until after the quake...We had a meeting
with a client at 10 am, I was on the raod then, probablly around Perrysburg, Ohio. Didn't notice anything driving!

Our clients were telling us about it and then afterward, when we stopped at the Tony Stewart Store, the lady working there had heard the trophies rattle in the case with one of the aftershocks. Weird stuff!

[ramanth]

Slept through it here, but reports are that people in Detroit and Lansing felt it.

Would of been interesting to experience.

What's the largest quake recorded for California?

I was curious about your question so I Googled........

7.9 in 1857 Ft. Tejon
7.8 in 1872 Owens Valley
7.8 in 1892 Imperial Valley
7.7 in 1906 San Francisco - 102 years ago today
7.6 in 1992 Landers
7.3 in 1927 Lompoc

Richard is right - call us when they get over "6" - but if you have never
experienced any earthquake - and then one happens like today - they still scare the socks off of you.

My most recent favorite was the 1994 6.7 and my four poster bed bucked like a bronco and I was in it.
