The house was shaking - not a lot - but enough to wanna run outside. We went outside asap. I don't see a report yet on the USGS site. ..

BillyVance 34 #22 July 29, 2008 My brother went through the Loma Prieta quake in the Bay area, you remember, the Bay Area World Series quake. His house was just 9 miles from the epicenter, and all he lost was a pair of China plates off the fireplace mantel. He moved to the big island of Hawaii, and got hit by a big earthquake there last year just a few miles off shore from his house.

And the building I work in is old and made of bricks so yeah I was scared. That was the strongest one I've ever felt , but I've only lived in Cali since 2001. I was mesmerized by the shaking for a few seconds before it occurred to me that I should get out of the house. That's the weird thing about earthquakes - they just happen out of the blue. I grew up around tornadoes, which are scary too, but at least you have some warning with those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickDG 23 #25 July 29, 2008 TV news is passing out that bad info about getting into a doorway. That course of action has been disproved after studies down in Mexico and Japan. In a really bad earthquake standing in a doorway can cut you in half if the structure collapses. Likewise getting under a heavy table can crush you. Most earthquake survivors are found in voids. Voids are formed next to beds or large pieces of furniture inside collapsed structures . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
