We live on the fourth (and top) floor of our apartment building. I am at home today, and am not cuddling a very terrified cat!
We had lots of figurines that fell over in a curio, and some other things fall off bookshelves and such... but nothing broken, so I'll count my lucky stars on that!
I grew up in San Francisco and remember the 1989 earthquake there quite vividly. Whenever I feel a shake, I get so nervous.

16. It'll be interesting to see what fell on my floors when I get home. |
|
Then again, my apartment is such a mess that I doubt I'll know the difference. :silly:
I wonder how the cat took it?

21. Just got an email message |
|
from our office in Irvine that the phone systems are "backed up" but if you keep trying, calls go through eventually. That was probably referring to land lines, though...

I was in our Data Center working on a server when I felt several pressure changes. I thought someone was opening and closing the door. Then I felt the floor sway a bit. At first I just thought I was a little dizzy, but then I saw the server racks sway a little also. Didn't last for too long, maybe 10 seconds or so. I did a quick walk-thru once things if felt stable to ensure we had no problems.
Edited to add my location: This was in San Diego

26. Coastal Ventura County - felt it! It was my assistant's 1st quake (she's from NJ) |
|
She said she was waiting to see how I'd react, and since I didn't panic neither did she. But she's a little - ahem- shook up.
Phone (cell and landline) were out for about 40-45 mins.

31. Yep, and it lasted for a while! |
|
I was in the middle of working with a student in Home Teaching.
We were studying science, specifically ocean currents and temperature variations
After we calmed down her many animals and saw everyone was OK, I switched the lesson to earthquakes.
It was a good size quake that we definitely felt for at least 40+ seconds.
