This is terrible I hope your all ok.

I was sleeping and it was strong enough where I live to wake me up. I woke up and was like "why the fuck is my bed shaking?" then I saw my lamps and my furniture moving and I was like WHY THE FUCK IS MY HOUSE SHAKING?!?!
I felt retarded considering it might have been an earthquake but I got up and got online and was like. And I couldn't get any text messages etc through for aaaages either.
To me it's one of those things that it was cool to experience, but I don't want to again. Now I can say I know what it feels like to have your house shake under you in an earthquake, and I think that's more than enough for me.





I dont want to bust out another members actual location just in case, so not naming names! But today she IMed me like half hour after the earthquake hit...freaking out. There was no reception on her phone, and the internet was being wonky. She was able to IM me, but not pull up any websites to check out reports, so I was checking it all out and giving her the 411.
For sure though, as serious as it is, and how freaked out as she was, I couldnt help but to point out!! Living in CA, talking about it and how much I miss it, I hear from people SO much..oh no way, I could never live in CA and go through a earthquake! And I couldnt help but muse..I wonder what they are thinking right now? Ahhh!
Being my usual self, cracked jokes and she was laughing and stuff by the time our convo ended, so I hope she really did calm down and feel better. I didnt hear any reports of anyone getting hurt, I hope that was the case and that nothing came out after I stopped checking. Hope that all of you are calmed down and none the worse for wear, and that your homes are safe and sound as well!
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!




Ive been through several hurricanes my own self. Hurricanes, earthquakes neither of these are laughing matters. Ill be as huffy puffy pouty crappy as I want. These disasters destroy property, endanger lives, cause lost money due to lost time at work. I was without power for almost 2 weeks during the last major hurricane. That cost me alot in missed work. There was actually a curfew imposed. It was awful. Serious..all the way.
I felt in NNJ. I was on the toilet.





I just want to interject to say...I dont think its personal against you to lash out or anything like that Shift. I dont think anyone thinks disasters and the damage they cause is one big joke.
Heck, last hurriciane, I was also without power for 2 weeks, and ended up having to stay with my ex bf whose home and property suffered a lot of damage. THAT was interesting...not only can I look back on it and laugh, in what was a crappy situation we were able to find a reason to keep our spirits up...it was either that or double homicide.
so yeah for some its serious all the way, and for others its...theres a bright side and laughter is good medicine. Its good for morale...and especially during hard times, sometimes morale is all youve got to hold on to.
If it wasnt for my sense of humour, Id be one dark haunted soul, I can tell you that much.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!





Years ago, the major historical earthquake of 1994 that hit LA, was felt in San Diego. It was the middle of the night, and it woke me up....I opened my eyes to see my digital clock "dancing" on my table, and I was thinking...what the? Then it jumped and bounced right off my desk....I thought I was dreaming, rolled over and fell back asleep.
Woke up the next morning to see my clock on the floor...my brother in law was like...holy crap youre a heavy sleeper! Earthquake hit and I checked in on you...you were sound asleep!! I was so upset I missed my first earthquake lol!
I pretty much slept through Hurricane Wilma as well...woke to hear what sounded like a woman screaming outside my window...seemed so unreal that I figured it was a dream, rolled over, back to sleep. All the while, kiddo was freaking out and the ex was trying to keep her calm. He joked hes not sure if it was the wind "screaming" or my snoring that was terrifying her.![]()

I understand ur need for mediation here. The before mentioned poster was talking of someone being "huffy and puffy". I looked back at the previous posts and clearly I was the only one being overly "serious". I wanted to prove my point that these natural disasters create alot of serious damage. Im pretty sure that it would be upsetting if everyone on SW was out of work for two weeks. Or if their vehicles were totaled by a tree falling on it. Another friend had a tree fall on his house. That cost 1000s in damages. ALso when I did go back to work business was awful. When it doesnt affect you its easier to laugh. I think u have to try to cope as best as u can but at times laughing isnt an option. Some things arent laughing matters.





You dont have to find humour in anything if you dont want to, but you only have control over how you feel and react to things...its not possible to decide for others they dont have that option...you dont have that kind of power. Many ladies here have been through natural disasters and much worse...and still even in a most serious situation, like those who went through this earthquake, like I did when I went through the hurricane, be able to find humour and something to smile about. Not everyone does, or even wants to give in totally to the doom and gloom of a situation.
And I will tell you, Im guilty of this behavior too of trying to impose what I would do on what others should do too. In the midst of an all out rant a friend of mine told me to stop being so controlling...I was like..whaaa? And he said I cant control what other people say, or do, or think or feel...no matter if they are wrong on all levels, I can only control myself and how I react...and he told me to stop expecting people to be like me...
It took awhile for it to sink in...but once it did, my life got *a whole* lot easier. Living right by me is a lot easier and more productive than trying to get other people to live right by me... Just something to take into consideration.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!
Shake it for me mumma nature
and yes, i felt the earthquake. it was fucking fun!





There was another and totally seperate earthquake in CO...maybe that was the one you felt?
And yeah...all the time I hear people talk abotu how they couldnt live in CA cause of earthquakes, but I think the one of 94 was the last major one, and it hit in LA which has a concentration rate of getting hit with one... I was in San Diego, and while we felt it something awful, it wasnt *that* bad for us. Brutal for LA definitely, but not for us....we mostly just feel the shakes and shimmys...
ETA: I just checked out the earthquake website...there were 377 earthquakes in CA in the past week
There actually was a bit of a bigger one near Fresno yesterday, not newsworthy but possibly also could have caused you to feel something.

Felt it here in PA. It busted a water main and we were without water for a few hours. I honestly thought it was the kittens fucking around underneath the chair.
