Didn't feel it, but the power went off for a bit last night. Probably a coincidence.

Re: Earthquake nor calif
I'm in central CA. I didn't feel it. Good thing because I pee my pants in earthquakes.

Re: Earthquake nor calif
I have felt only two earthquakes, one at home (no damage) and one while driving (that one was kinda freaky). Did not notice the one at Truckee.

Woke up early one morning feeling terrible dizzy and thought I must have gotten some sort of stomach sickness. Then I heard the windows rattling and thought with relief: "Good, it's only an earthquake!" Another evening I was sitting alone in a great big house (everybody else had gone out somewhere and I needed some alone time) and a big diesel truck came up the driveway. I looked out the window and there was nothing there! Then the hanging lamps started swaying

Re: Earthquake nor calif
An earthquake isn't like a thrill ride, its more like a feeling of helplessness. I've been in a couple of large quakes in the greater Seattle area. Nothing that I can think of that equates to it.

Re: Earthquake nor calif
I've experienced a few small quakes, enough to cause a cloud of dust to come down from the dropped ceiling and the lights to flicker. Wasn't a fun ride.

Re: Earthquake nor calif
Earthquakes are a fact of life here. But, it doesn't mean I like them!

Re: Earthquake nor calif
We've had a few over the years . Nothing large just a rumble you can hear coming and then some vibrations .

Re: Earthquake nor calif
I've been through the Sylmar and Northridge quakes, 11 and 5 miles from their respective epicenters. Shaking and quaking I could live without.

Re: Earthquake nor calif
Couple years ago I was in a town north of you Los Olivos and felt a small earthquake ,,it was a few seconds long .. it was probably a everyday one for you who live in the area .. I assume you felt it where you live

Feb 9 1971 was my first experience at the young age of 12 will never forget that, being tossed around for almost a full minute on the second floor of a 50s built apt building. NO thank you

Re: Earthquake nor calif
My first one, I was sitting on the living room floor and my son walked across the room.... I thought, I know he isn't that heavy... then I noticed hanging lamps were swaying a bit.
Second one was on the coast north of Eureka CA. We were driving down 101 and it felt like driving over steel grate bridge decking, kinda side-to-side squirrelly. Felt like we might have had a tire problem or hit some weird pavement.... found out later there had been an offshore quake. Hope I never experience a big one like some of you have.

We were pulling in the parking lot and the car started jumping around. Now I'm getting ticked off and calling the car a P.O.S. Then my boss says "No. It's an earthquake!" And I look out the window and see the cars and trees shaking in the parking lot and people running out of the building. I missed that one. I was too busy cussing out the car.

Re: Earthquake nor calif
I experienced one here about 16 years ago when I was in middle school. It happened in the middle of the night, I can remember being woken up by the china cabinet downstairs rattling loudly and my computer shaking.

1949 April 13th Olympia Earth Quake 6.7 I have been in a few earthquakes and the first one was when I was 5 years old ,,that one broke our chimney off at the roof line and turned it out of square. .My mom and I were next to the two story house when it hit and she took me and ran away from the house . 1964 March 27th Alaska Earthquake ( Anchorage ) 9.2 I was a sawyer in a sawmill In Oregon some ...1000 +miles or more from the center and it shook my two circle saws so bad when I ran the log through the saw ,, I had to shut the electric motor to the saws off.. I then found out by others as we ran out of the mill what has just happened. 2009 Feb26th 4.2 I was in Portland Oregon working that day in construction at a computer chip plant 2019 July 4th and 5th near Santa Barbara visiting our son and family at his home 4.2 2020 Mar 31st right here in Idaho at home 6.5 centered north of me some 200 miles in the Saw Tooth Mountains .

Re: Earthquake nor calif
My second wife worked in this really tall building in downtown LA. I don't remember how tall but it was one of the taller ones.If I remember correctly it was the tallest one. Big boy.
Every year. They would have a Christmas party. And book us a room in the hotel for the night. And it was always on something like the 40th floor or something. Waaay too high for me. Nothing ever happened. But it bugged me. We were looking down at the roofs of some really tall buildings. And I thought "What if there's an earthquake? I know that they put those buildings on rollers to roll with the shaking but when you're up there. Eh. You start thinking about it. It's a long way down. What if a really big one hits. But the only bad thing that happened was that they had horrible food and some really expensive beer that was awful. (At least it was free) And I had to go with my ex wife and behave myself. Which was no picnic. I hated those parties.
