I was lying in bed, watching the 1950s version of King Solomon's Mines, and felt the hard jolt. It hit in the same area as the ones we had last July, near Searles Valley, CA. Magnitude was 5.5. That's about 809 miles NNE from me. TBH, I'm less than 10 miles from the San Andreas Fault, near Palmdale CA, but if it happens, there's not much we can do, other than being prepared for the aftermath.

We felt it while eating dinner. Our cats all puffed up, and our dogs didn't care. Lol

I was 30 miles from the big one that hit Northridge back in '94. The Landers earthquake in '92 also got my attention, so to speak . I remember being at my folks house when one hit in Orange County, CA, and watched an 18 inch tidal wave pour into the house, from the pool. I guess I've lived through so many of them, that they're just a curiosity to me now. That doesn't mean that I don't get nervous when the bigger ones hit, or that I'm insensitive to the damage they can cause.
 
I hate earthquakes. Been in so many of them, the first I recall was 1984 I believe. And yeah, that's dating myself.

Was in the Loma Prieta earthquake area, watched my hometown be destroyed by it in many ways, some took longer than others.

Was in the large one in Seattle, up on the 22nd story of a high-rise downtown. That was terrifying in a new way.

And at least half a dozen small ones.

They don't get any easier to handle for me. Hoping I'm far enough north of Cali and south of the Seattle fault line for now.

I think that's the real difference. I've been close, and driven through, but never had anything worse than rattled nik-naks and things hanging on the walls going a little askew. I really was rattled (dude talk for scared) in the Northridge quake. My two sons, one 4 and 7 at the time, were asleep, and we were in the ground floor of a two story apartment. I raced to them, grabbed one under each arm and headed to the doorjamb of their bedroom. Yeah, I was afraid, but for them, more than myself. It has a lot to do with perspective.

What the heck? Maybe you can only edit for so long then it locks you out?

I'll have to remember to check, next time I create a thread. It is weird though.
 
West coast y'all have quakes and fires. Middle of the country tornadoes. East coast and gulf coast hurricanes. Move to Ohio. Nothing interesting happens here. Well, an Amish guy got arrested for shearing the beard off of an elder he disagreed with, but that's it.

Yeah, but... it’s Ohio. Can’t fathom being any more Midwest than the Rockies. But go where your heart is.

My heart is in a place I can't afford to live. So had to settle for Ohio, like everyone else that lives here.
