whoa! i remember feeling very small earthquakes when i was living in CA, and yeah, i share your sentiment--i don't want to experience that again.
I just heard from my bestie (she lives in OK City)! Crazy!
We had a tiny one in IN during the night once, our windows rattled, that was it!
We had one here in StL a couple years ago. It woke me up in the middle of the night. It was weird! I'd never felt one before.
oh man! all these earthquakes recently are scary :( i hope this isn't a sign that a gigantic one is coming soon!! glad to hear you're okay.
Thanks ladies! Yes, no injuries have been reported so that is good... You're right veganglam! I hope there's not a big one coming soon either!
its probably just minor shifting due to the large shift that just happened down in Haiti. The plates work on sort of a ripple effect. The large slip there (which continues to have aftershocks) is causing slight pressure changes in other plates nearby. I'm not an earthquake expert by any means, but i am a geologist and work with Earthquake guys at the USGS. Just my two cents
I'm sure earthquakes are scary on any scale. I'm glad you're ok.
I agree with Denver. The Earth is probably still settling down from the huge one in Haiti.
@ Miss Moose - luckily we are ok, so I don't think we need any prayers regarding the earthquake, but prayers are always good so go ahead if you want! ;)
any earthquake is scary! glad no one was hurt over there! my dh and mom are still scared to death of earthquakes, and they both lived here for many years! anytime theres an earthquake their both out of the house into the street!
@ contrarymary - I have no idea how anyone would even have any TIME to run outside & get out of a house or structure! It happened so fast and then it was over.. How do you all prepare for that sort of thing out there?
Holy cow!!! My mom was in the city and she called to tell me about it! That is so nuts, I was like Whoa really? crazy crazy business
we've had about 4 in the last week in Cali ... two were around 3.3 and one bigger one about an hour north of here and a 4.0 in the middle of the desert. I am from the East Coast - I'm trying not to let it freak me out!
lol, dh and my mom both just bolt out of the house, down the stairs, and stand on the sidewalk on the strong ones. but its almost on a regular basis out here, and they both still can't get over it! the ones we've been having here last from a few seconds to maybe 20 secs....and they are both fast enough to be out the door before any of the earthquakes end. lol. i make fun of them a lot but they'll probably survive the big one and i'll probably be a statistic since i usually just stay in my spot.
lol. but really....for the big one, i think i will running to my china cabinet trying to save my favorite teapots & vases and my china cabinet will probably crush me! ha! alright. i'll stop being so dreadful. i think dh will have to drag me out of the house because i'm always thinking that it'll be a minor one.
haha, you had the same reaction as a hardened californian! i always think baby quakes like that are the result of a big truck. once, we had one at work [in san francisco of all places!] and my cubicle neighbors and i debated on whether it was an earthquake or a truck for a few minutes before the news broke online. lol
oh and we had monthly earthquake drills in elementary school! so now i instinctually wait to see how long it is and then bolt for the nearest doorway or table.
Yikes! Glad it was okay! Earthquakes scare me to death.
@kjpugs- I remember that Indiana earthquake. I was sleeping and my bed shaking woke me up lol
Glad everyone is ok!
omg tea! i remember earthquake drills in school! i always played the "injured" student just to get some extra credit or to get out of an hour of class! hehe

Sorry, there are no users yet.
That's big for Oklahoma! (I know all you ladies in CA are laughing at me right now :P)
I was standing in my bathroom & heard the ground rumble & the whole house shook. I thought it was the construction workers outside, so I go outside & didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but still chalked it up to construction.
About 10 minutes later, it happened again. I was starting to get irritated at the construction guys lol.
Then on the way to work, I heard it on the radio.
4.0 - very interesting, sort of cool & freaky at the same time. I don't think I would ever want to feel one bigger than that.
