If you can move around it's no big deal...

They were about 100 miles closer to the epicenter than you. When it does that kind of damage you aren't moving around. It always cracks me up when they make movies about earthquakes that people are running around. Of course they are just shaking the camera and having things fall down. Not anywhere near the same thing.

You can run around before and you can run around after a bad earthquake but you can't go anywhere during one. It will simply knock you down. Believe me, been there, done that.

Though it is true that in 3rd world countries or even in our country (North Ridge Earthquake for example) where older buildings (especially brick) come down realitively easy, you may be able to move during one of them.

Been in Cali over 10 years now, still haven't felt a single one.... go figure. I'd rather an earthquake over a tornado any day (I'm originally from the mid-west).

We had a few small ones here in Jersey last month. Back in the early 70s
we had a few good shakes.[Ramapo fault] I was in Japan in the 60s the ground shook almost every other day, it reminded me where i grew up in Brooklyn under the ''El''

I spent 53 years in San Diego County and I agree. I've been in several earthquakes and I much prefer them over tornado's.

So true. I was in Woodland Hills (1 mile away) for the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Boy, talk about something different for an ole Texas boy. :yikes:

Agreed!!! I too spent several years in the midwest, as well as a few years in Florida..... I still get spooked just thinking about those green skies and funnel clouds . . . :yikes:

Glad to see Lamonster & family 'rode' it out without casualty

I've live in southern Indiana for over 50 years. I've never seen a tornado, but I have felt 3 earthquakes. Go figure.
