1. What?

You're joyful because you just went thru a minor earthquake? You voted for Arnold didn't you?

2. hehehe

hell no I didn't vote for Arnold! :-)

3.4 quakes are fun! Just had one just like it over the weekend, was an interesting way to wake up!

On the 6th floor today, so it was really noticeable. The building swayed long after the actual quake ended... :scared:

5. I was in SF in August

and felt a minor one early in the morning while laying in bed. Mercifully, it was our last day there and I was happy to leave! I have never felt one before and didn't want to again.

6. Real Californian's

don't even break their stride or interrupt conversations for less than a 5+. 3-anything quakes are hardly noticeable. I just called my girlfriend in Walnut Creek and she didn't even notice it.

Now a sixer in a downtown SF highrise, now that's another story... That can be a helluva ride...

4. Would that be the Pleasant Hill located on Planet Earth?

Or at some other location?

8. Ride'm cowboy!

The little ones keep you on your toes. :)

While I was in Texas last week I woke up thinking there had been a small earthquake -- it took me a few minutes to remember where I was! Turns out I had experienced a hit-and-run cat attack.
