6. Wow, we call that losing your California virginity. Was it good for you?

8. It was indescribable...

Sitting here at my computer... felt like someone was outside shaking the entire house... the weirdest sensation went through my body, as if it was one with the quake.... indescribable really. Kind of neat too. :)

9. congratulations!! all you need now is to go through

a wildfire (or mudslide) and a car chase and you be an official Kulifornian.

:applause:

11. Kinda makes you feel small & humble yet exhilarated, huh?

To be a part of something over which you have no control yet is fleeting...at least it wasn't a biggie. Those are really scary.

13. Yeah, my first was neat

but I'll take an earthquake any day of the week over a hurricane or tornado.

[Misunderestimator]

14. I couldn't agree more... after 3 hurricanes last summer in Florida...

I'm happy not to go through that again... at least this was quick... ! :hi:

12. I'll wait a couple of days before I straighten out my pictures

I had them all straight, now they're off just enough to bug the shit out of me.

Here's the "Did You Feel It?" map.

15. I sure did! I was still dozing in bed, and I felt this brief, gentle

rocking. Our new house did a little creaking, and I'm thinking oh good, a little quake...I like earthquakes! As long as they're small, and this one was, here...
