    friend out in juma said it was felt pretty hard as well...

    everyone is sayin aftershock but....... what if this was just a "tremmor" in comparison of whats about to let loose? :thinking:

    F-that. Last big quake I felt was on Guam. It was a 7 or 8 something. The roads were literally like waves. Who knows So Cal may break off and be a part of the Hawaiian Islands?:evil:

    well........ i already have a truck fit for that situation :lol:

    well, as reported, it was roughly a 6.9 so its pretty darn strong. any longer period than that or stronger magnitude and we're gonna get some damage.

    That sh*t would freak me out.I felt the blast (reg. 5.0) from a new natral gas power plant I was working on.I had the day off and felt it at home about 20 miles away.I can't imagine 2 min of that.

    I felt it in az city, az! Was lying in bed and it felt like someone was pushing the mattress sideways with their legs. I figured it was one of my kids so I jumped up and they were in the kitchen with my wife. It lasted about 10 seconds. My wife said she didn't feel it. Maybe I did since I was on a spring mattress??? It's the second one I've felt in about 5 years.

    most of em last very few seconds and you usually barely know what just happened........ this one lasted for over 2 minutes easy and i was able to grasp all that was going on and look down the street as the street moved in a "wave" motion :runaway:

    that kinda s h i t right there puckers you right up :lol:

    damn you're in coolidge?? thats only 20 minutes away!

    my wife was about 30' away from me in the kitchen and didn't feel it. i think since i was on my bed it amplified the effect.
