Alaska Earthquake

[Caribou]

Ya know what kummok...we get them all the time here (not 5.2's) but we have only felt 2 in 10 years...one a roller (was kinda like being on a boat out at sea)...one a shaker...the shaker with the big jolt at the end was a little scary...but...we live 10 miles from the San Andreas fault...as Yogi would say..."it is what it is"!!!! ;D

Hey LQ,
Were you there for the Landers quake?  I think it was 1992 or around there.  We were living in Moreno Valley at the time and that was the biggest quake I ever felt in my 30 years of living in CA.  I think it was a 7.5 or something.
It was early in the morning and my husband jumped out of bed and I thought he was going to stand under the door way but he ran to the living room to hold on to his moose head that was hanging in there! :D :D :D :D So much concern for something that is already dead! :D

Nah...didn't move to Cali until 1996...this was like a 5.6 or something...but it scared the crap outta us...that jolt was quite frightening...but having been a builder (of which my own home is one of them) I ran around when( I cleaned up the pee in my pants) to look for cracks...NONE...but earthquakes are scary chit....I grew up in Florida...you can run from a hurricane...I'd akin an eathquake to a tornado...seems like they just happen...at least with tornados you can hide underground...but an earthquake is just freakin scary crap... >:(
