I went to the door of the cleanroom because I figured it was safer there. IIRC, the one that happened there was at about the same magnetude as this one, but I could be wrong. It was like this: Up and down HARD, felt like what wrestlers do to each other, spiking your feet up and down like a sledge, it went like that about 6 times, then there was this broad swinging back and forth about 5 times, followed by a short shiver. The first part actually made my feet hurt a little. I was in a clean room and my first reaction was what if the very heavy clean part of the clean room ceiling came down on us... Anyways, these smaller earthquakes, they help reduce the likelihood of bigger ones, don't they? Like more frequent small ones reduce the amount of movement of large ones! it would take 10,000 of them LoL yes these smaller one can cause LARGER ones it's called an foreshock

That was the first time I was above the second floor of a building during a quake. I had a 3rd floor apartment. My girlfriend at the time had never been in a quake, and she got to feel her first one on her birthday! Yes, I gave her an earthquake for her birthday... -- I've recently discovered that I'm a$$hole intolerant.

I got out of town after the Northridge quake, but couldn't get away from the quakes. They followed me to Salt Lake City and to Seattle. -- I've recently discovered that I'm a$$hole intolerant.

'Bout twenty years ago, in the city of San Francisco CA. We had just landed and got transport to the hotel. I was signing in and it started. I distinctly remember the desk clerk saying, "DUDE!! GO OUTSIDE!!". He didn't have to tell me twice! I think I managed to make it to the door, and it stopped as quickly as it started. I felt like I looked like a spastic clown, running in place, suspended a few inches off the ground!!! The closest I have been able to describe the feeling is: Felt like I was trying to roller skate on a bowling ball. Something I NEVER want to experience again! Noob.

They say now that this quake which has caused about $20 million in home damages (Interior) released stress on the locked San Andreas by about 00.010 percent.

OmenQ Spazz Premium join:2003-03-21 Continuum clubs:	reply to CurtesyFlush said by CurtesyFlush : Being the source as I am, it had two features: an initial two sharp hits followed by the gentler rumbling, which was basically the bowl of chili continuing to wobble around after the initial shock. The seismic event itself only lasted 3 seconds, but the ripply-warbles continued for another 15 seconds or so.

ghostpainter I Write for the Apocalypse Premium,MVM join:2002-05-25 Rancho Cucamonga, CA clubs:	reply to RayW We suffered no damage at all and considering that we live in a double wide that is something, but I have all three units tied together, the third unit being our long porch. The initial motion was a hard jolt followed by about 30 seconds of hard rolling then fading to about 3 minutes of swaying, but that could have been my Vertigo too. The Ralph's Market on Baseline is reporting about $80,000 in damage from stock following off the shelves and was closed as is the Staters up on 19th. Many homes had interior damage, IE computers and shelves tv's down etc etc. At the junction of the 50 and the 57 freeways, there is now a 6 inch gap in the overpass to the eastbound 60. Not to bad for a shake that would have been devastating in an area say like New York.

RayW Premium join:2001-09-01 Layton, UT clubs: ·XMission	reply to signmeuptoo Worked with a guy from Boston like that back in the mid 70's just north of Los Angeles. He panicked and ran around like a chicken with his head cut off tossing off orders when one of mid-sized ones hit. Was in the Navy at the time and got written up and had to go to captain's mast because I told him to chill instead of mustering under our multi ton satellite dish like he told me to. The only thing that saved me was 1. explaining how stupid that order was to the old man and 2. that I grew up in California.......... As I recall, it was less than a 5, but we were on top of a mountain and it was after midnight but before dawn. -- I am not lost, I find myself every time.
