Usually they're shorter.
I don't know where Anza is. Near Anza Borrego State Park?

8. It was indescribable...
Sitting here at my computer... felt like someone was outside shaking the entire house... the weirdest sensation went through my body, as if it was one with the quake.... indescribable really. Kind of neat too. :)

11. Kinda makes you feel small & humble yet exhilarated, huh?
To be a part of something over which you have no control yet is fleeting...at least it wasn't a biggie. Those are really scary.

13. Yeah, my first was neat
but I'll take an earthquake any day of the week over a hurricane or tornado.

12. I'll wait a couple of days before I straighten out my pictures
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 11:11 AM by slackmaster
I had them all straight, now they're off just enough to bug the shit out of me.

Here's the "Did You Feel It?" map.

15. I sure did! I was still dozing in bed, and I felt this brief, gentle
rocking. Our new house did a little creaking, and I'm thinking oh good, a little quake...I like earthquakes! As long as they're small, and this one was, here...
