Just rode this one out.........4.3 on the scale.

Felt real enough for me. Dishes moving, house shaking.............kids pretending they were surfing............

DUDE!!! is it normal to have them there? i was in one in Cali, but it was a non-event for me, i was driving down a mountain and completely missed it.

Reading this cracked me up. I was glad to hear you had no damage or injuries. I still need to determine fault location for my own curiosity.

rob... I saw a map earlier today that shows eq's aren't too uncommon, though I didn't look too deeply to know how regularly they occur.

We've had 2 hear lately. I only felt one, and I actually thought it was my son jiggling his bedroom door trying to get out of his room, we were 14 mi. from the epicenter.

yeah, we don't have them here. we get Hurricanes, bad T-storms and a few Tornadoes. nothing like that. hell if we did, Florida might just crack away and fall in the Gulf. LOL
