A 4.7 apparently. First one I've ever felt in my life. Monitor was shaking and I just thought ".. wtf?".
That was fun though. Anyone live in a major fault line? I'll come stay with you a while.
Good times.

I'm a military brat. I've also lived in Idaho, Washington, Oklahoma, Illinois, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Nevada, just to name a few off the top of my head.
I've been to every state in the union save Alaska and Hawaii.
And I agree with Mort. Earthquakes are fun.

Sage and I were in California when the "BIG" earthquake hit San Francisco in 1989. I lived two hours away and it hit when I was outside my office waiting for the train home and noticed the palm trees, not swaying, but actually moving in a big sweeping circle and thought that was a strange wind. Not 2 seconds later I felt the ground move like a big rolling ocean wave. I thought that was pretty cool. Then, when I got to my car 45 minutes later, the first thing I heard on the radio was, "In case you haven't heard, San Francisco was hit by a major earthquake." And to think I felt it nearly 125 miles away. Wow that was a big earthquake (6.9 mag).
The weird thing was that Sage and I were in San Fran the Saturday before the earthquake with some friends and we were actually driving on the lower deck of the Nimitz Freeway. I'm so glad the earthquake didn't hit that day.
Another interesting tidbit is that our previous dog was born near Monterey on that same exact day. It's thought that the mother gave birth in reaction to the earthquake. She certainly would have felt it.
I actually live on a big fault line (The Wasatch Fault) but I don't recall any earthquakes within the last 20 years I've lived out here...
I thought my house was haunted

I grew up in California -- I've felt many minor earthquakes there (like mag 5 or less -- mostly 3 mag give or take). Those are fun, like being in a lake rolling on the small waves made by a passing speedboat.Sage and I were in California when the "BIG" earthquake hit San Francisco in 1989.

I lived in Sac and remember that one. One of my neighbors got startled by it, and almost removed her eye with a wine cooler bottle. Remember a few others to, m father had a habit of being sent to different bases to teach people shit right before an earthquake hit the area.
The ONLY good thing about living in Georgia... the ground, does not move. It is ground, and does it's job properly.
