Earthquake

There was an earthquake about 60-70 miles from me this morning. I didn't feel anything, it was a 3.4 quake. I guess it was too far away and small. They say it was about 3 miles under the ground. It is really rare for one to happen in this area. I remember years ago there was one, but it too wasn't a big one.
Those things give me the willies for some reason. It doesn't seem natural to me for the earth to shake.

Glad it was small. I've never felt one, although I've heard that they aren't fun.

I've never felt one either, but they say we have small ones around here every once in a while. I'm ok with it as long as I can remain clueless to them happening!

we had one here last year.... we were sleeping and i remember waking up and smacking the bottom of the bed cause i thought the cats were under there fighting. i woke up later on to find out that it was a quake

I have been in two earthquakes. I happen to be baking a blueberry pie when one hit and the blueberry bowl went flying off the counter - it was a hell of a mess. It is odd/eerie seeing things move when you are not. The hanging lights on the ceiling swaying, everything flying around and shear panic comes over you.

Here's a link to a news station about it. The Mason Co. they are talking about is about 50 miles from me. Gallipolis Oh is right across the river.

I live near Columbus, but I was in a pool at that time, so I didn't feel any of it., or it's repercussions.

Oh wow, I didn't know you lived that close to me. Small world.

Sure is!

I felt an earthquake when I was at work. It must have been 24-26 years ago. I lost my footing and almost fell down. LOL It was weird, it just took a while to figure out what was going on. We don't normally feel them in Michigan.

earthquakes are a pretty normal thing around here... Southern California is earthquake central.

When we lived in San Diego in the 70's we experienced serveral... no damage, but swining chandelairs and crocked photos on the way. And Lori we/I lived in MI, never recall any. But here in KY, my gosh woke one more to a shaking house (think it was the Missouri fault)... did a little damage in north county, but again for us, just tilted photos on the wall... but the waking, well that was an eye opener!

I felt one about 20 years ago. My husband thought I was nuts until he heard it on the news and saw a crack in our ceiling.

California is one place I would not live. Those things scare me, I'd be on pins and needles all the time if I lived out there.

I think I will stick with my hurricanes, at least we know they are coming!
