All life begins with a Nu and ends with a Nu.
Happens. We had a similar size one over here a few years ago, and I thought that a train was going past, lol.
I almost always sleep through them. The only time I don't sleep through an earthquake is when it happens when I'm already awake.
Then again, I'm California raised.
I've had an aftershock wake me up during the night. it shook my house, and i woke up going WTF!!??!!
But other than that, we don't get earthquakes...cause it's Ga ya know.

ive never been in an earthquake.
No earthquakes in Finland. Luckily.
There was one near San Diego last week. It was a.. 4.8 or something. It happened while I was in the dentist chair. Not very fun when the dentist has her hands in my mouth and the whole room starts shaking.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
What are earthquakes like? Are you guys so used to them that they aren't scary? I wouldn't know 'cause I'm a dirty New Jersian.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
I also live in the Chicagoland area, in the northern suburbs, closer to Wisconsin. I was a bit farther away from the epicenter and didn't really feel it. Some neighboring counties did, though.
There are quite a few earth-quakes here... sitting on the Syrian-African tactonic fracture, as we do. There was one a few months ago, around 4 Richter... no-body felt it, but it cracked some buildings. Nothing serious, though.
There was one that I remember, a few years ago... it was 6.5-7 Richter, and it woke me up. The windows were shaking, and my bed trembled. I don't remember what I did, but I wasn't scared. It was kind of neat.

Whenever I'd stay at my Nana's in LA, they'd get little earthquakes, and I'd sleep through them. One time there was one here, and I was so excited because I actually felt it.

Me too, I even slept through the Northridge earthquake.Originally Posted by ShlupQuack
I can only remember 2 earthquakes that I've actually been awake for and they were quite small. Just slight tremors that rattled things about a bit. It wasn't all that unpleasant.
I was on the toilet the last time we had an earthquake.
I held onto the seat and prayed.

uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I'm in the California (SF Bay Area) and we get earthquakes pretty often. I think the biggest one I was alive for was the 1989 one... it was a 7.1 or something. I don't remember it, though. Earthquakes are scariest when you're driving.
I want an earthquake! This is Western Washington, come one, we're overdue.
When the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me.
Shine until tomorrow... Let it be
