    I was about 9 miles from the epicenter of the 6.6 magnitude Northridge earthquake and that was a helluva shake. Was in a pretty strong quake in Germany also. They are scary.

    My son is stationed there. He didn't feel it on base, but his wife works in Santa Barbara and she felt it. They are getting on a plane tonight at midnight to come visit us. Maybe the "big one" will come in the next couple days and they won't have to go back.:)

    We were walking into Legoland years ago and an earthquake happened while we were driving there. Had no idea until we walked up and they said they had to check all the rides before we could go in. I asked why? & they told me. Kids felt ripped off they missed it.

    Brief earthquakes are disconcerting. Weak earthquakes are disconcerting.

    Strong earthquakes that keep going for a while are terrifying (rhino was in a 6.9 Mw that lasted a long time).

    I was in a big, long one (6.3 magnitude in 1984) and thought it was neat. However, both of my co-workers got the whitest scared faces that I have ever seen.

    I was in a couple while stationed in Commiefornia '83 - '87.
    I was also in the one years later that was close to Kokomo tho closer to a tremor than a true 'quake but it still scared the poo out of my step-dad's father who was from Mayo County, Ireland.

    I was tending bar in the 80's at a Wanamaker shotgun tavern. My best buddy was drinking on the other side of the bar along with 4-5 others. All the glasses and bottles shook and rattled each other pretty hard. We thought someone crashed their car into the building...

    My son is stationed at 29 Palms, he has been in Vegas since Tuesday night for the week and he felt it.
    I also have a sister on the other side of the fault outside of LA that just felt a little rumble.
