My first earthquake

Where I am it just felt like a train going by in the backyard but it was worse in some areas.

bloody hell is your house ok?

Oh yea. It was just as if a train went by. It wasn't that bad where I am. the dogs ran for there crates though.

OMG i would have been scared to death, hope everything is Ok for you

Always fascinated me, but then I've never experienced one.

Hope you, dogs and fish/coral are all ok. Xx

Oh it's fine guys. LOL to be honest I didn't even think earthquake. I was playing a video game and I am unresponsive when I do so. The dogs realized what what going on before I did. I saw them jump off the couch and run to my bedroom where the crates are. I could have sworn that I heard Oli say RETREAT LOLA! My OH was at college and texted me to say they evacuated the school and the power was out but I was busy with a 15 kill streak on Black ops.

my son gets completly lost in that game

i think the uk had 3/4 a couple of year back it woke everyone up even the dogs

It was a little creepy after I realized what had happened. Not the first one but sitting there wondering if another one (maybe worse) would happen.

are they reporting any more mike?

Yer we had a few, a few years back but i slept through it

So far all I know is that there are some injuries but no deaths. They are shutting down a few nuclear power plants. But thankfully no deaths.

Wow, that's quite the earthquake I heard about it on one of our global news sites.

I've had my fair share of somewhat dangerous weather. We get tropical cyclones like cyclone Hamish and severe thunderstorms here from time to time (thought cyclones not that often)

Hope your going to be okay im not good with weather like that

Earthquakes suck

We didn't feel it up here, but a lot of my Jersey friends felt it pretty significantly. The closest I've come to an earthquake is when we woke up to a loud bang and our building shaking at 8am last year. I thought it was an earthquake. Turns out a drugged out carjacker crashed a cement truck into out building: http://www.wcsh6.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=127688&catid=2 http://www.pressherald.com/news/man-faces-oui-other-counts-in-downtown-collision_2010-09-13.html Bowie, Ziggy and I still have a fear of loud noises and screeching breaks. Saxon luckily wasn't with us yet and the boyfriend got over it pretty quickly.

LOL Cat. I have had something similar happen to me as well. I guess I was lucky today. Could have been a lot worse I guess.
