I woke up, ready to beat the crap out of the joker who snuck into my room to shake my bed, to find out I was strangely alone. I didn't think anything of it until somebody asked if I felt the quake.

Awesome :D

[Silus Xilarian]

And this is just the beginning.....You ppl slowly realize the scope of my power!!!

*flaunts*

[Alana Stormcloud]

Silus quit shaken the Earth dang it :p lol "Dang show off" j/k hehe

[Cassidy Williams]

Whoa... was it as neat as people say it is?

[Captain Tyle]

Well, it wasn't big at all. Felt like somebody was at the foot of my bed, and gently rocking it. It was enough to wake me up, and I was about ready to womp the prankster for it.

[Silus Xilarian]

I felt it after work....I was on my mom's computer trying to figure out why I couldnt get connected to the internet, and the whole house started shaking. I didnt know what it was, so I just shrugged my shoulders and kept fighting with the internet. :)

We get earthquakes here all the time. When we have an earthquake, unless its big, we don't stop what we are doing. And it's funny to watch the tourists panic when an earthquake hits.

Earthquake = Shakes school
Teacher = Close to screaming
Girls = O MY GOD O MY GOD
Me = Laughing Manically
Friend = Yelling WOO HOO

the quake which rocked the Northwest

Any other Washingtonian remember it?

[Captain Tyle]

I know you westies get quakes...but you don't get tornadoes and hurricanes. We get all three now ^_^;

...and blizzards, droughts, floods, hailstorms, wildfires, oh my :o

[Silus Xilarian]

The only thing we dont have....

Snow

^_^;

[Captain Tyle]

Where were you 10 years ago? We got buried in 2+ feet!

[Silus Xilarian]

At home, buried in it also.....

That was a freak storm though. People up north were laughing at us! The only snow we can really count on is maybe one or two little snow flurries a year. :)

[Figrin D'an]

I've never experienced an earthquake or a hurricane... but I have just about everything else.

I have a relatives in Atlanta... I'll have to ask them if they felt the quake the next time I talk to them.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

We had an earthquake today too...I guess. I didn't feel it. Something tiny. And we had one a few days ago as well. Didn't feel that one either.

Yeah I heard about yours on the radio when I woke up this morning, Charley. Then I went back to sleep. :mneh Congrats on surviving your first quake!

[ReaperFett]

Welcome to the club :)

People have been in ones FAR more powerful than the one I was in, but I refuse to care :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Largest I've been in was a 7.1 in San Jose CA in 1989.

[Kelt Simoson]

Worst we get is floods and small tornados here...scotland gets snow heavily i guess tho'.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

worst I was in was the 7 somethings in the late 80s or early 90s, can't remember well but those were interesting......

[Dark Lord Dyzm]

We have a Volcano which is due to erupt in the next 100 years...

And Lahars. (which can be caused by Earthquakes, eruptions, or just to much snow at one time)

A lahar for those who don't know, is the mother of all mud flows, we talking roughly a 50 foot high wall of mud which travels at a good 30 mph over flat land. (It goes faster when it reaches a valley) Scientist say that the Volcano (Mt. Rainier) erupts, it could cause even bigger lahars then the ones caused by Mt. Saint Helens, for Mt. Rainier is twice the hieght and has alot more snow/ice/mud.

The first town will be destroyed in about 20 minutes

[Marcus Telcontar]

Earthquake? Nah, not here. Aust is geologically stable. Droughts like you can hardly belive, yes. Bush fires that resemble hell, yes.

[Admiral Lebron]

There are over 400,000 earth quakes per year... No big deal unless they are like over 6 on the richter scale.

[Charley]

Except that you start to feel them higher than 3.9

This quake did cause some damage, up around Fort Payne, Lookout Mountain, and Sand Mountain.

[Brian]

Yeah, um, I'm sorry about that guys. When she said that I "rocked her world" I didn't realize how true it was...

[AmazonBabe]

Southern CA does get it's share of droughts, floods, and wildfires (can we say Malibu?... all together now).

The biggest earthquake I was in (and I wasn't really near the epicenter... maybe about an hour and a half drive away) was the Northridge earthquake. That thing was a MEEEAN quake!

Anyhoo, congrats on surviving your first "shake, rattle, and roll", Charley. (Maybe you brought some of CA home with you and it took this long to kick in? :lol)

Oh yeah... for those of you that have been in several earthquakes... ever notice how they always seem to occur in the early morning? O_o

[Garen Selore]

Yep...early morning most of the time, with the ocaitional afternoon rumble... That's my EXP...
