[^RabbiT^]

Didn't feel any of it over here (in Sweden)
Hope everyone is alright! At least no-one died as far as i know

Don't start to cry for that!!! cry when i kill you on dods!

 

[HL2master]

Yeah its a weird feeling when there is an earthquake. I felt one here a couple months ago(south bend, IN of all places), and it was strange. Nothing was broken though. Sounds like every1 is ok from this earthquake.

 

[Havegooda {A|R}]

Dangit. Right when I move we get an big quake. I probably would have slept through it just like the last one

Got a few texts from my friends about it. Apparently it was rather large.

~Gooda~

I read o a report on cnn saying there was little damage done

 

[Desert Rat]

Nothing damaged here where I am. All my coworkers and I laughed and enjoyed the ride.

Just another day in Arizona Bay

 

[Ace of Spades 25]

It was accuallyat 5.4. CAL Tech lowered it from 5.8 a few hours ago. The quake hit only 40 or so miles from my house.

Woah, hope everyone is okay

 

[paquitox]

Hoping for best and that everyone is alright.

The earthquake happened when I was playing tf2. It was about 10 second shake.

 

[Congreve]

I couldnt imagine what it would be like to feel the ground moving underneath you, must be strange. Glad nobody was seriously injured.

 

[.[BORN]2kill]

Just talked to my sister in Manhattan Beach, L.A.
She didn't feel anything really.

I am worried that one day something terrible is going to happen as a result of an earthquake in CA.... You never know.

 

[fools russian]

was listening to the Jim Rome show as it happened. kinda funny hearing his comments.

 

[Macaroni]

I'm in San Diego and I felt it a bit. No damage here.

 

[what about tiff?{RD}]

aww thanks ducttape

 

[AWPerator]

I live at the epicenter of the quake, it wasn't to bad. I was in bed, so I was somewhat disorientated, and thought I was having a dream in which I had converted my bed into a massage chair.

 

[eL-CoYoTe]

I felt it too (was in Yorba Linda) Half of mine was in a car and other half outside ;p When i it started I didn't know what is going on ! I thought that somebody hit my car because it was moving forward and back ;p This was my first earthquake I'm here only temporarly . . .

 

[KingThrottle]

I was sitting in my room upstairs reading the eGO forums and my whole room started to shake!
It wasn't to bad though. Does anyone remember the San Francisco earth quake of 1995? Now that one was bad.
