Have only felt minor ones here. These originate in a fault located in Quebec. Very minor but noticeable when they occur.

Well that's good to know, been 17 years since I lived in Cali and oh how the world has changed ha
I think I've only felt one long enough that I had time to get under a table.
I remember in school the earthquake drills - get under your desk - and thinking I'm this won't save me, I'll be crushed when the legs give out. I remember the doorway during one and thinking well at least I'm not near a window.
I find that the "rolling" quakes are quiet. Last one my wife didn't even notice it was happening. The other (I don't remember what they're called) have this kind of loud, low rattle sound to them.
That may have been it, I just remember the first one was 7.1 and an hour later the 7.2 rolled thru. We where standing on the catwalk and it was wild. We had after shocks almost every day for a month or more. We had small bell placed around the shop areas to be able to head outside when we heard them.the landers quake? we were there as well....then the northridge quake in 94
I shipped out of Pendelton the night before the big quake in the Bay Area in 89. My good friend was with me and his family lived in Hayward. He was a wreck. They are no joke.I was stationed in California in 91 or 92 when they had two big ones an hour apart. The sound is hard to describe, you just here a change in the air of the normal surrondings you are working in. What was neat though, was standing on the catwalk of the barracks and watching the parking lot roll as it came thru and feeling the barracks shake a lot. That was in 29 Palms.
houses used to be built out of what basically amounts to dust and glue, with wooden door frames. now houses are built out of those same wooden frames connected to concrete pads, making the door area the weakest part. not to mention the exposure to falling/exploding debris, as well as human stampedes in public buildingsI think they're now saying this because of cheap, modern building materials. Back when door jams were made from solid wood it may have been safer.
Do you have any pets in the house? The last one we had here in Kansas was a 3.2 about 18 miles northwest of my house and the 2 dogs let me know it was coming. About 15 seconds after they where acting weird, the windows started shaking.There's nothing quite like sitting in the quiet solitude of your home brought on by a worldwide pandemic, simultaneously enjoying a mid-April snow storm and an earthquake. Life's simple pleasures truly are the best.
Today’s trembler was only 4.2.
