EARTHQUAKE!

There was just an earthquake in Southern California, probably about 9 to 11 minutes ago. It was two rolls, the second one less than two seconds after the first, and somewhat stronger. It sounded like a bear was running in a straigt line upstairs, and then we noticed the couch and floor shaking, and the huge livingroom window rattling. My mom looked at each other and got up to walk outside.

The roles were brief, but must have been at least a 4, pushing a 5. Our house rattled and our couch moved; I can barely feel anything less than a 4, in most circumstances.

Aahh... this is how I know I'm back in California, if even for a week.

Ah, so you felt it too... At first I thought it was just me, but I guess not. O___O Oh the joys of living in California~ XD

It's kind of cool, I think. I haven't felt an earthquake in several years... I slept right through the last one that I remember, which was 3 years ago.

I felt it too, but it felt pretty small where I am...

We didn't feel it at all. Of course, we might have been driving at the moment, but when we got in, the cats didn't look particularly preturbed.

Ahh... I just moved to SoCal, like two weeks ago. That's scary, but besides impending earthquakes, Cali is the best state ever. Welcome back, btw.

Welcome to the golden state! Where the sun is hot and the ocean is cold. Don't stand directly under chandeliers or hanging sculpture if you can avoid it, and when conversing with the locals, I'd recommend prnouncing the full name of California, because "Cali" is a name invented by people who wished they lived here, instead of the ones that actually do.

;) Enjoy the weather, and don't worry too much about earthquakes. They're pretty uncommon.

Oh thank you. I really don't want to be all tourist-y, lol. Yeah, the weather has been very enjoyable!!
