Title: I'm shaking!
Post by: Tyler on March 01, 2007, 10:57:30 PM

I just experience my first earthquake in the Bay Area.  We had a 4.2 that happened about 40 miles north of where I live.  This isn't the first earthquake I've been in, or the largest, but I did feel it.

This one was just a little one down here.  But, the last one I was in was a lot more fun.  It was Thanksgiving day and I was at the kitchen table.  I had just taken a sip of Crystal Light that my mom gave me and the wall behind her bent to the left.  I was thinking "wow, there's something in this," so of course, I took another sip.  Once again the wall behind her bent to the left.  Now I was just about to ask my mom what she put in it and then the whole house shook.  Then we ran for the door jam.

Never been in a quake, sounds like you guys know how to have fun over your way though. Been through a few hurricanes though. Strap a skateboard to your feet and set a kite out in the middle of one of those and your down for some fun...just kidding, don't try that. :/O

I was in the one that hit Atlanta (yes, Atlanta) a few years ago.  It was about 5 AM.  I heard a loud bang that woke me up.  My first thought - Thunder.  Then the whole house shook.  I fell back asleep once ascertaining the house had not exploded.  Assumed it was a gas explosion.  Next morning I found out what really happened.
