We don't notice anything less than 5.0 unless it happens right under us and we don't even wake up for anything under 6.0! Those jerks just wanted to get their name in the papers! >>> On Mar 16, 8:04 am, Tiago<diariodastril...(a)gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> > Are you guys ok? Hope so!

It's fun to watch easterners experience their first one, though! During one of the bigger bay area quakes a visiting accountant got sloshed while sitting on the john and had to go back to the motel for the rest of the day. -- Cheers, Bev Far away in a strange land
From: PrairieRider on 18 Mar 2010 12:17 I lived in Santa Cruz and Los Osos 1990-1994, but felt my first (an only) earthquake in western MA in 1983 that had an epicenter in Albany, NY. I felt gypped. (sp?)

Perhaps, I was checking news at the exact moment it happened, because I'm several hours ahead of you in the day? > What is up with the world these days?!?!?!?!? A small world! > > Sorry to dissapoint, but, I slept through it. > 4.4 magnitude? I snore bigger than that! Much au contraire! :) Glad you didn't notice it. I remember the day I arrived L.A. and you were driving me around. I asked why every building were *houses* and where were the sky scrapers? If you see a picture from my town (http:// barriodecuba.altervista.org/NationGallery/brasile/recife/vista%20aerea %20recife%20skyline.jpg) you will notice lots of high buildings. I remember your answer as it was yesterday (while Fred laughed) "earthquakes. you don't want to be on a tall building when one hits!" cheers!!! -- T |
