So yesterday we just had an earthquake in California :o. Me and my friend were pretty spooked too because we saw everything shaking and the arcade games looked like they were going to topple. Luckily it was only for a couple of seconds but it was pretty scary. So anyways have you ever been through an earthquake? Do you remember what it was like?

Seriously? Where in California? Because I live in San Francisco and didn't feel a single thing. xD

I've been numerous small earthquakes. I've been the only one to NOT feel one, and the only one in the room to actually feel one (then proved to them by showing them the news). So yeah, it's actually really scary while it first starts. But then it's just like "Beh." Haha.

@Tariq- I live just outside of Los Angeles so that's probably why you didn't feel anything. I think it was rated like a 5.5 magnitude or something like that.
@Almentor-where do you live? The east coast? Lucky east coast people-they can get basements. :P

Yeah I figured that out a little while ago. Seems like the day is coming. You know, where California gets another huge earthquake. I just feel it. xD

We got a big one a few years back around christmas. My mom said she felt the one the other day (were 3 hours from LA).

The super quake is on it's way. This quake could either be a warning sign or just a normal one. I never felt one before though.

Well, Tariq, if you die in a big earthquake, I'm probably going to die with you since I live 30 minutes south of San Francisco in Sunnyvale.
