Seriously!! WTF!!

Is there an earthquake in AZ right now?!

Whoa!! THAT was weird!! It lasted about a minute or so. I'm watching TV and lounging on the couch and the lamp shade started moving and the couch felt like it was swaying.

Quick - take some pictures, so we get the full effect!

Wait...never mind....

You all are used to this in CA. We get them here in AZ occasionally. That was the first one I've felt!

D*MN!

We felt it all the way here?!

That was crazy! We were just talking to a friend in Sebastapol, CA about 30 minutes ago. We're looking at the Santa Rosa area and asking him about earthquakes there. I guess this was just a taste?!

I thought I felt it here but it turns out it was just gas.

Didn't feel anything here in Ventura County...

IZ · April 04, 2010, 02:47:42 PM

I doubt we would've noticed anything either. I just happened to feel the loveseat move..slightly at first. When it didn't stop, I figured it had to be a quake.

doesn't your apt normally shake due to its proximity to the interstate?

Longest quake I have felt in many years. Very slow, almost imperceptible, from Orange County but the platns were swaying and the koi pond was sloshing. Made you feel a bit dizzy.

Wow...if you want the animation on the USGS site, that whole area lights up like a Christmas tree.

IZ · April 04, 2010, 05:09:11 PM

Ok. Thanks for confirming that. It lasted for at least a minute or two! Sloshing is the word I was looking for. It felt like we were on jello and it was sloshing or jiggling around underneath us.
