Now that would be my kinda earthquake.....if only I knew how to make a martini. "Shaken not stirred"
Growing up in Oklahoma I got quite used to the earthquakes....it was the tornados that scared me. One hit my home town once when I was a kid and they said it did hundreds of dollars in damage.

I've never felt any real big ones, but after moving out here to Reno we had some tremors and yea, a totally bizarre feeling.

In my young & stupid days, I visited LA during all 4 of their major seasons: earthquake, fire, mudslide, riots.

The last earthquake I felt in LA, I was at the airport waiting on a flight & I was the only one who noticed. It didn't hit the local news at all but was reported on national news later that night.

You are really missing out. :p

Acapulco Mexico is built around the edge of a circular bay rimmed by mountains. The beach is all pebbles rather than sand, and about a mile out is a little island in the center of the bay. Every time we'd walk on the beach, (we'd feel more than hear) there'd be a rumbling and a little vibration you'd feel on the soles of your bare feet. Finally I asked someone and learned....Acapulco Bay is a volcano rim....the island is the cone plug! They say it never stops rumbling...pretty cool:bwgy:
