I felt it last night and again today around 11 am. It was the first time I had felt a earth quake in my 50 years.

So, does this mean we're going to get a tornado in CA??
(That actually happened once, just a mile away from home, it was small, but was strong enough to tear up a few roofs.
Not to snark or anything, but 5.1?- around here that's not a quake, that's a "reminder"!

If an earth quake wants my attention, it will have to happen when I'm awake next time. I felt the one that occured 3-4 years ago but not this one.

Couldn't feel it in NY. We had one a few years back. I was sure a really fat squirrel or a racoon was running accross the roof.

I felt it...before and after I fired up 515 cubes of blown Pontiac power. You felt it in Indiana? Sorry!

I remember one obout 10 yrs ago here on the wet coast....I was sitting on a rolling office chair at my 'puter...and all of a sudden the desk and keyboard left my fingers and rolled 2 feet away..then returned...(the chair rolled with the quake) hair on my neck rose..looked at wifey and asked her if she was playing a trick onme ...but she was 10 feet away..
Next day I had crackes on lots of moldings and they had a big fissure down by the border crossing, about 5 minutes away...
One of these days we'll get the big one...

I felt the one here last year, but not this one. Slept right through it.

Reports it was felt here. I was sound asleep so I can't say. Twenty some years ago we had a magnitude 3+ in NE Ohio. I was driving a 22' box truck up to Akron and felt the truck sway. I didn't think much of it until I saw the news.

I live in downtown Indy, and woke to what felt like a old-school vibrating bed at a scuzzy motel. Fun.
