O M G we just had a HUGE Earthquake!!!!Small Update in 1st post

iT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF US!!!!!!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



Epicenter 3 miles from my house. 5.8

Shook hard and for what seemed like forever, then a very sharp, hard jolt at the end !

Some friends have broken glass.;fallen pics etc but no injures. My DD said our house fared pretty well as far a falling items etc.
I guess I've prepared as best I could for an earthquake at my house.

I'm so nervous still. Waiting for aftershocks. There have been at least 25 so far.

My poor DD, Jackie is at home alone and this is her first real earthquake.
I wish I was there to comfort her.

Best part is the 5% chance if this being a foreshock to a bigger quake within 24 h hours....sleep well....

UPDATE: I'm home and had some minor damage to part of my sidewalk, it is buckled(city's problem to repair) and the block wall in the back of my house is cracked and buckled all the way down on one side. One more shaker like this a.m. and it will probably fall.

Everyone here is quaking in their boots!

There is no way to describe a feeling like that. So uncertain. so random.

Shaken and stirred today.....
