Nothing like watching your house shift back n forth The dog now identifies as a cat. She's still upside down on the ceiling. . Good thing i wasn't on the throne when it hit.

Many years ago, I was cooking at an Italian restaurant in Seattle.

I had a dizzy spell and thought, "Man, I need to quit drinking." I looked at my buddy Rob and he didn't look too good either.

He said, "Did you feel that?". Yup- earthquake. I have never seen a restaurant empty so quickly.

[Ah Pook]

First earthquakes, now monsoons (maybe). [panic]

Seattle is one of those places that will be removed from functional existence when the right fault decides to let loose

I've had that feeling before during a few quakes in Japan. It's almost like vertigo...instant dizziness and slight nausea.

My first earth quake was in San Francisco. I was in my car sitting at a red light. The traffic light started swinging and then my car started rocking. I thought, dang it's windy today. Looked at the grass and trees, and they weren't blowing. Then it occurred to me, it was the ground that was shaking. I think it was around a 5.4 on the scale.

Definitely a weird feeling.

[earplug]

I don't think I could feel anything under a four pointer

My only one was a mild 4.X that occured while I was staying with my brother in Redlands, CA. Just a window pane rattler...

[ChickNorris]

Door rattler in Golden when I was a kiddo is my first recollection of an earthquake. We giggled & said ' ghosts! ' only later to find out the truth. We were understandably disappointed.

Been through a handful of minor earthquakes but there's one I'll never forget. I just finished watching and HATING the first Transformers movie in the theater. As the credits started there was some shaking from a small one. I thought to myself "I really hope watching this terrible movie isn't the last thing I do before the earth swallows me up." Those are the moments that stick with you.

The first Transformers movie was better than any move ever with the words "Star Wars" in the title. Also, The Beatles are overrated.

Whew, left just in time!

[SideShow Bob]

Many many moons ago we lived in enlisted housing on YPG, (Yuma Proving Grounds) and between earthquakes, the artillery ranges, the bombing ranges and jets breaking the sound barrier in a hurry to get back to MCAS Yuma, our house shook daily.
The earthquakes were distinctive and you could tell when they happened.

[Hummer]

We're heading to Sedona tomorrow to band birds at the hummingbird festival next weekend. It will be "warmer" than in previous years. High of 104 vs. the 80's. Not looking forward to the heat. Then we head to Tucson, Patagonia, Nogales and back.

[CapLock]

I'm in the little desert town in California that just had a 7.3 a couple years ago or so. Let's not talk or even think about earthquakes.
I'm told there were people who left that day and never came back. My friend ran outside naked. Said fireplaces and block walls were coming down. He also said the women and kids screams from all around were something out of a horror movie.
I asked if that was from the earthquake or seeing you nekkid.

I've been to California twice.

The first time they through me an earthquake. 4.1 as I recall. I woke to swinging lamps and shaking beds.

Here's a very cool site that Kazoo referenced, and you can check whether you are just disorientated, or Earthquake!

[encorehunter]

We have had several 4-4.3 earthquakes.in the last year here. I have yet to feel one, or atleast recognize it as an earthquake.

[Madusa]

Wow, so many Californians moved to Arizona there weight caused an earthquake.
