Here in California, most people would just sleep through it.

1) Quakes are rare here

2) Though the magnitude was low, the scope was very large

3) We could have a bigger quake if we wanted to, so stfu!

5.8 is pretty severe.

i was in a 5.3 in san diego. that one was much more like a wave - up and down . this one was more like rattling vibration followed by small waves for another minute.

First thing I did after the shaking stopped was to run outside and check on my Z... make sure no bricks fell on it.

b1adesofcha0s · 08-23-2011, 02:35 PM

I heard it was felt all the way upto Toronto

Doesn't look like it caused too much damage. Also, there was a quake in Colorado earlier. How many more months till 2012?

Felt it here in SE Conn. At first I thought it was someone shaking their leg in the next cube over.
