SoCal DUers. Did you feel a quake about 10 minutes ago? |
|
It sounded like a bomb hitting the ground. A loud explosive sound and my whole block shook. Car alarms were going off and dogs were barking. A few small groups of neighbors were out on the sidewalk, looking around. I havent heard any sirens. I'm in La mesa CA. East San Diego county.

5. Everthing is fine now. No damage. Only car alarms and dogs making noise. |
|
It was so quick about 2 seconds or so. But it was crisp explosive sound. My building shook.

17. Hi Peggy! It was actually kind of cool. |
|
Am I sick for thinking that earthquakes are cool? Just the little ones.

19. I agree completely that the little earthquakes are cool! |
|
Even the moderately big ones are cool if nothing is harmed...
We ride them out the way you would ride a roller coaster...
Earthquakes are Mother Nature's roller coaster! What a concept...
You are never sick in what you think! NEVAH!
That's because you are a sweetheart, you know...

Sorta. Haele says she heard something, maybe, but the rest of us, no.
Once more, the animals had no reaction. A dog, 2 cats, 2 rats, and 2 birds. And not once, EVER, have any of them react before or after a quake.
Heh.
Oh, we're in North Park, a mile or so from Balboa Park.
