If you all want to see something cool, go here...

Happened about 7 minutes ago, and felt like a snap, as opposed to the normal rumbling/shaking that I have experienced before. This epicenter is about 25 miles from my (new) home...

Steel, when slammy said something about shakeing things up, i dont believe this is what he ment. we were refering to the mechwarrior leagues and not real life!! please disist so the rest of california may rest easier :razz:

PS you held up ok threw this thing? was a bit concerned when i heard about it.

Oh yeah bro! No worries... It was actually humorous (after the fact...)! A friend of Danielle's had JUST left, and we thought she had backed into the house! :smile:

But it was cool overall... I am sure the snap was due to being so close to the epicenter, and it was only a 3.7... If you look at the map in the link, you will see two other VERY minor earthquakes the week prior. They were not felt, and small ones like that are usually indicative of the larger one coming...

we had an earthquake over here a coupla months ago....was a bit worrying ,as no-one really expected it to be an earthquake...we get small tremors a lot, but they can't be felt by ppl....instead, ppl thought it was either an explosion in a house (some1 had a log fire going, and we could c the smoke), or (god forbid), it was a repeat of NY, as we live fairly close to an airport..was exciting for a coupla minutes!!
