Earthquake

Anyone else feel a small earthquake at about midnight last night?

I did it was at about 12:20am! I was almost asleep once it happened so I actually felt it this time. Last time I slept right through it! At first I thought I was tripping out or just tired but then my wife asked me if I just felt that earthquake.

I felt it about 1220ish too. My computer monitor was shaking around.. I thought I was going crazy!

I felt it. I was kinda surprised, and then I went to the forums and NOBODY was on (and there's almost always somebody online at that time) so I started to get worried. Yeah, I'm not used to earthquakes. They always freak me out.

That's like the third earthquake we've had in in a week. You can track or record earthquakes you've felt at the USGS Earthquake site (http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/ous/). Since we live so far up on reclaimed land, we feel most every earthquake here. I'm glad we're not in the Indonesia area, which had a 7.5 earthquake a couple hours after our little 5.3 one.

And at least the second one that's actually made the news this week. Kinda has me a little worried.

thanks for the link for the earthquake reports.

all these little quakes make you think there is going to be a big one soon.

Glad I am not going crazy. Having an earthquake in the night like that always gets to me more. It just makes me wonder if there is more to come, do I need to wake my kids?

It puts me on edge as well wondering if there is a bigger one coming soon.

I also grew up in Southern California, so the little earthquakes were never a big deal to me. I was awoken during the Northridge quake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Northridge_Earthquake), but lived in the OC so didn't feel the brunt of it. I'm sure I'd feel differently if a quake caused me some catastrophic grief or damage though.

I felt it while on the phone, was waiting for more to come or even a big one, but nothing...

LMAO...I so remember the first time this happened to me...I was typing away and all of a sudden it felt like something bumped the house and my computer started wobbling...after awhile I got used to the tremors, but boy did I freak out that first time it ever happened. I had only been on island about 3 weeks, right after our sponser's wife called to have a good laugh at our expense since no one warned us that these are common there.
