Eaarthquake!
We've just had a 4.4 shake up in LA (centered near Westwood on Westside)
Rocked, rolled, rattled and sounded soooo loud

Re: Eaarthquake!
Of course I'm a So Cal native, so pretty used to them. After the initial weird feeling, it's all pretty normal, unless you're in a highrise...

Immediate thought - has our house fallen down, hours before close of escrow?

Time to celebrate
Light the candles/pop the corks/ jump up and down and sing hallelujah

Re: Eaarthquake!
Maybe because I haven't witnessed the devastation of an earthquake first hand or maybe because very few things in life make me give a s**t before coffee and 7am.
I awoke to my SoCal native girlfriend shaking me awake petrified, just put my arm around her and went back to sleep... Definitely the best quake I have experienced though. The last one to wake me was a sudden crack but not much of a shake.

I was lying in bed with the dogs this morning and heard a faint rumble at first then the bed moved and the doors rattled. The dogs weren't bothered at all. It was a bit scary as we haven't been in CA very long.

I was at work in San Jose during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake about 20 miles away from it's epic center and although everything shook and swayed, after it was over, I continued working thinking it was just another 5-6 quake but 80 miles from the epic center in San Francisco and Oakland, all hell was breaking lose.

It scared the hell out of me. My closet doors are all mirrors and the rattle was making it seem even worst.
