Is that the one about the volcano?Originally Posted by robin
Man, which one was that? It wasn't "Dante's Peak"... No, "LA Story" is a Steve Martin parody on life in LA in the early-mid 90s. There's a scene near the beginning where several friends are at a restaurant having lunch and in the midst of the meal an earthquake hits. During the tremor the out-of-towner looks around worried while the locals are sitting around casually arguing over its magnitude.
i was talking to someone at work about spirituality and the state of being in this world today, when suddenly the earthquake happened and we just froze and looked at each other.
we started laughing at the end because it was such a coincidence our discussion culminated into a earthquake, so we thought.

I bet it felt a lot bigger for the folks right over the epicenter. Here (50 miles away), not so bad. The thing is sometimes a quake will start off small and then kick into high gear after a few seconds, which is kind of what this one did. Whenever a smaller quake starts to ramp up I get a nice squirt of adrenaline.

I don't mean to be calous, but 5.8 is not huge, and it's about two orders of magnitude south of "the big one."Originally Posted by Manton
As the rest of my Southern California brethren have said, +1.
My brother and I used to jump out of bed and see how long we could run in circles when earthquakes hit (they always seemed to hit at night/early morning). We thought they were great fun. And of course, my family would all try to guess the magnitude. You can always tell when someone's moved to Cali recently vs. having grown up there by their response to an earthquake.

It felt pretty rough where I'm located in Downtown. We felt strong vibrations through the ceiling for 5-10 seconds (We thought the AC guy was up there making a racket) then the mezzanine was shunted from left to right, enough for me to scoop up my dog and run out into the car park.
All the CA born and raised were calling me a *****!

We didn't feel it in Phoenix, but my 2-year-old had a HUGE earthquake/explosion in his diaper this morning when we were at the libraryOriginally Posted by Bradford
LOL. Been there. What did it measure on the dooper Richter scale?
Back on topic... my sis lives in W. Hollywood and works in Santa Monica. Said it was a minor distraction at most.
