We just had an earthquake!!!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Western Washington had a 3.4 earthquake 8:50 PDT. I was typing here and the floor shook for a second or two and the building creaked like it was shifting.

Brian · 05-30-2003, 12:42 AM

OMG.

We don't get a lot of earthquakes in San Diego so I can't imagine what it's like. I remember there was one during the night a few years back but I slept through it like a rock.

Crimson and Clover · 05-30-2003, 12:45 AM

ive never been in an earthquake. i live in North Carolina and well we dont get them. there was one like in Alabama or somewhere not to long ago and some people in Charlotte felt it but we didnt.

~*Hannah_Lee*~ · 05-30-2003, 12:53 AM

I hope everything is okay. There was an earthquake here in Alabama about a month ago, and I felt it. My computer screen rattled and it woke me up and the bed was shaking. I thought that it was my heart beating really fast because something had scared me in my sleep....so it didn't hit me that there had been an earthquake until I saw it on the news the next morning.

that sux...

We were having a lot of earthquakes in Spokane in 2001 (after never having any in over fifty years), but they stopped after about five months. It was a weird experience nonetheless.

The first earthquake I ever felt was the Seattle quake of February, 2001. I was here in Spokane, and the only reason I felt it is because I was on the sixth floor of an old building.

Truth · 05-30-2003, 03:10 AM

Was a 3.7 actually from what I heard.. I didn't feel it though... Feburary 2001 though oh man yea... 6.8, was scared as hell...

Truth · 05-30-2003, 03:11 AM

3.7 really isn't that big though... just a couple months ago we had one here in Washington that was a 4.0 or so...

Three'sCompanyrules · 05-30-2003, 04:07 AM

There was an Earhtquake in Southwest Nebraska a few months back that was 2.5, which is weird because Nebraska dosen't get many Eathquakes. I hope everything is ok.

ABlairican Pie · 05-30-2003, 07:52 AM

I just felt it for a second. It certainly wasn't anything like the one in February 2001 Which was kind of strange, since it happened after one of the worst days in the history of Seattle when a huge mob in Seattle started rioting in observance of Mardi Gras. One person was killed by some punk for trying to help an injured girl...Brutes.

I remember the cops did nothing for that, like in the WTO riots over a year earlier. I haven't yet heard of damage from the quake yet, it was just so quick.

Jem · 05-30-2003, 11:46 AM

That would hve been freaky.

I can't imagine what being in an earthquake would be like because I've never experienced one. The majority of Canada doesn't get earthquakes, but when my Dad and I were visiting in Victoria, BC last August a friend told us that they get earthquakes there sometimes. That freaked me out for a little bit, but then I just figured that I shouldn't worry during the vacation because the odds were probably as high as a tornado coming through Saskatchewan and in all my life that I've lived in Saskatchewan I haven't been through a single tornado.

*PinkLady* · 05-30-2003, 12:55 PM

OMG, that's scary. How much damage could there be if it lasted such a short time?

dlemond · 05-30-2003, 01:09 PM

I was living in Redondo Beach, CA when the Northridge Earthquake occured on January 17, 1994.

It happened at like 4:30 am, my roomates and I had some people over and a couple crashed at our place.

It woke me up like someone was shaking me- I thought someone was- and said outloud, "what do you want?"

We all met in the hallway perplexed and half-asleep.
Before we came to any conclusion as to what to do, the major tremors stopped.
