    OK then, not my back yard, 2.3 miles from it. Though I felt no after shock.

    Congrats, all!

    BTW, the first earthquake I ever experienced was while I was still living right outside of Boston, it was centered in southern Maine.

    No place is completely immune.

    Yes and sometimes the quake you just had is the "pre-shock"

    I was offsite at a work meeting and the chair of the committee was from LA. He started the day saying something about as a new transplant to California (I think he was at Hopkins before there) he enjoyed that he got to be here to experience our big earthquake. He said he had heard there were rampant stories of crooked pictures.

    I had woken up just before THE SHAKE; heard something, felt maybe 5 seconds of shaking, wondered if it was an earthquake, and then fell back asleep until it was time to get up to swim. I couldn't even find anything out of place in the house.

    My first earthquake
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
