There was an earthquake a few minutes ago.
Oh, here it goes again.
Damn it. Not too bad, but just can't concentrate with all this shaking.

I'm less than 2 miles from the epicenter and I definitely felt both of them. 4.3 isn't all that bad though ... and least not after the Northridge quake.

That's got to be a weird feeling. Sometimes I wonder how long it will be before CA. falls off into the Pacific Ocean.

Yep. What happened in Central America is a real tragedy. And it certainly helps put our little tremor in perspective.

kat22, I've never been in one, I live in Illinois, but it looks like in the severe ones at least everything shakes back in forth (if you ever see those stupid yet addictive disaster shows on FOX).

It's funny how some places shake and others don't.

My son was in a movie theater less than a mile from here(SaMo) and felt nothing. I jumped scared and didn't want to go back in the house. (Our place is less than a hundred yards from a major fault.)

I got traumatized in 94, I felt powerless. Now everytime someone closes a heavy door I jump.

Besides the one in El Salvador there was a 6.4 in Alaska earlier in the week. It's time to renew my kit. Soon!!
