Earthquake last night! Here!
 
That's right, I experienced my first earthquake (a 4.1 on the Richter scale) last night... this morning. Around 2:30AM. I woke up immediately, freaked to shit, thinking it was 6AM. After the tenth second or so, I thought it was the end of the world, I was scared shitless! I shot out of bed, worried my huge cd shelf would fall, destroying all my precious musical artifacts, etc... no such happenings occured, thankfully. As soon as it was over, I crept into the main part of the house, where my dad was arriving as well, we were both pretty freaked, and peeked outside and stuff... then we went back to bed (but for me, not to sleep).

Hey! Shush! I live up north in the mainland where earthquakes never happen! I'll laugh in YOUR face for living in an area that will be underwater within 20 years!!!! HAH!

Sorry I am moving to New York. But my condolences to you for such a shock.

k-krack 11.29.2006 09:04 PM

Ahaha, thanks muchly. When are you moving there?

static-harmony 11.29.2006 09:05 PM

When I finish with my photojournalism degree here in California, I don't want to move yet cause I don't want to pay out of state tuition fee and all that crap that goes with out of state students.

k-krack 11.29.2006 09:10 PM

Right, right. I know nothing about it or anything, but I'm assuming it's a pain in the ass.
I gotta jet now, man, sorry to cut off like this, haha. Have a nice night/day, whichever it may be in LA. See ya!

static-harmony 11.29.2006 09:12 PM

Quoted for truth. We barely have earthquakes here in Ontario, so we're not used it. I've experienced 2 in my life, but one was a 3.something so I didn't wake up. The other was a 4.6 or something around there and I was with my girlfriend and she got really freaked out, and I just laughed. I was scared myself, but it only lasted a few seconds

k-krack 11.29.2006 10:51 PM

I was so frikkin' scared man. That shit freaked me right out. And since it was 2:30 and it woke me, I was even more frightened (confused, etc). I literally thought it was apocalypse-time for a few seconds.

my cat knocked my TV off the stand in my bedroom at 7 AM a couple weeks ago and i thought we were getting bombed. now the corner of my TV is purple.

John Violence 11.30.2006 12:07 AM

A few years ago my area had a six something earthquake. It fucking cracked my TV.

Just occaisionally, we have one of those little earthquakes/tremors.

Proper earthquakes, like proper tornados and volcanoes, are things I'd really like to witness for the interest, but I'm very glad I live somewhere where they won't happen.

My mum and dad experienced an earthquake while on holiday once, about a 4 on the richter scale. I say they experienced it, what actually happened was my mum stirred and thought it was my dad turning over in bed, and it was only the next morning they learned it had actually been an earthquake.

I know that story doesn't add much to the thread, but it always makes me smile.

jon boy 11.30.2006 04:43 AM

i have never experienced one. i was hoping for a tremor or at least something when i was in LA both times but nothing, not even a slight wiggle.

Hip Priest 11.30.2006 04:47 AM

Not even a slight wiggle? That must have been a dissappointment.

When I was about ten, there was one at about eight in the morning that made the snooker cues fall from their rack. I think it was centered around Wrexham.

jon boy 11.30.2006 04:53 AM

well there was a slight wiggle in LA but thats another story.

i was in san francisco as well and didnt even get a slight rumbling. no matter how many times i threw rocks at the fault line.

i have only experienced one in my life, in vienna 2 or 3 years ago, when i was at the 21st floor of a tall building... I can't remember the scale, but it was a small one, whose epicentre was in Slovakia… I barely noticed it: I just sat there in front of a computer, suddenly felt a bit funny as if my head was spinning, and then noticed that the venetian blinds were slowly starting to tap against the window… but I did not really have the time to understand why. before I got to get scared, it was actually over.

That's weird mate, aren't you making this shit up?
I've been living in Bratislava for past 6 years and I know there was NEVER an earthquake with epicentre in Slovakia.

haha, no, i'm definitely not making this shit up... but maybe i made a mistake and the epicentre was not in Slovakia, but in another neighbouring country of austria... i don't know, it must have been between april and july 2004, i think. but as i said, it was a small one, and i reckon i would have not felt it, if i was not on the 21st floor of this building.
