You're lucky you didn't experience one when you were in Japan... They get some pretty good ones. :sweat:

All I know is that I'm supposed to stand underneath a door frame and avoid elevators. Has the ground ever cracked? :sweat:

I have been in California so long that I got used to earth movements. I just would realise that the pictures needed straightening again.

Usually the larger ones would happen when my husband was off on a business trip and that would tick me off. Never had real damage to the house. Just me and the dog. thank heavens for my darling Daisy. She was my protector. Nothing better than a Dalmation for protection.

I have felt a few aftershocks from this last quake but I am down at the south end of Orange Co. so maybe they did not register up in L.A.

No use worrying..Mother Earth has the upper hand. :bow: :bow:

See I always picture massive movements that cause dishes to fall and break and cabinets to teeter over... must be all the Hollywood Films.

Btw, my grandfather used to have a Dalmatian dog. Tina. He always claimed, and still does, that Dalmatians are the smartest breed and the most loyal of friends.

Correct. You have learned well, Sensei. :thumbsup:

I've seen cracks in the pavement, but I don't know if the ground underneath was cracked or if it was just the pavement.

After the Northridge quake, there was a crack all the way around our building, but they came and looked at it and said it was okay.

Kind of funny, because we had just that one crack and a building right down the block was listing at about 30 degrees. :crazy:

But what if you're in an elevator when it starts? :beaten:

This week heard a fireman talking about being in an elevator during an earthquake. He said that in a modern elevator you would be as safe as anywhere because you would be surrounded by strong walls. Also there is an alarm button which might still be available to you. When searchers would be looking for survivors in such a bad quake they would hear you and you would probably be OK. Maybe the worst would be a broken bone but probably not even that.

Must say even so I would rather not be in such a small space. don[t really like elevators anyway.

So earthquakes aren't really like those in the movie "2012"?? :hehe:
