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.
yea seeing walls bend would definetly have a pucker factor of 10.....i was sleeping when the one i was in happened....it woke me up and the whole bed was shaking...i was like WTF! not a good feeling at all.
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.
Grew up with earthquakes in the L.A. area....they are freaky.
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.
