Well, we don't live in California (I'm in Tucson, AZ) so I never thought I'd actually experience what an earthquake felt like. Even though it was just a mild rumble and the only thing visible in the house to indicate it was happening was a swaying light fixture, it's still too close for me! My chair was shaking slightly and it seemed the computer screen was jiggling. Then my mom called and said the couch was shaking. That's when I looked at the light fixture and it was swinging. The pulls on the ceiling fans were swaying back and forth too. So many earthquakes. . . . . . .here, there, and everywhere.
I just experience it here in San Diego, too!!! It was soooooo scary!!!!! Good thing that no one got hurt......
ReplyDeleteHow strange that must have been!
ReplyDeleteI was a little shocked when I felt the rumble. I never thought I would feel an earthquake in Arizona. I believe that this would be classified as a divers place according to the Bible.
ReplyDeleteWe also had this in Phoenix! who would of think, I never thought we would get an earthquake in Arizona. Hope it will not come back... scary...
ReplyDeleteI lived in So. Cal for years and I never got use to the Earth moving. Just something not right about the ground under my feet moving! LOL
ReplyDeleteStay safe!!
hugs
-missy-
Must have been scary.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really get them here in the UK and when we do they are the same as you just experienced. We had one a little more powerful a year or so ago and I can honestly say it never woke me but there were tales on the news of chimney pots falling from roofs etc.
I can imagine that it was frightning. We had a few years back a light earthquake here in Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, after one year exactly the earthquake here.
ReplyDeleteWho experiences a major earthquake never forget it, so I can easily understand your feelings.
The worst thing is the perception of movement under feet, this sensation hasn't left me for months.
Big hugs,

I read about that in the newspapers this morning. I've never been through one, but I can imagine how scary it must have been!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sure must have been a scary experience. At least I know I would have been scared. I have never lived through one. Hurricanes and wicked nor'easters are bad enough. :) I think I'll stay east . :)
ReplyDeleteI thought of you last night when I saw the earthquake on the news. They are scary! I'm glad all is well! Meagan =)
ReplyDeletei felt a earth tremor in the uk a couple of years ago during the night and the bed shook and that was scary enough for me so cant imagine how yours must be.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I would like that very much myself!
