Thread: My first earthquake

I finally felt my first earthquake last night. It was almost 2am, my future wife was sound asleep and I was just getting ready to put my head down. The feeling was like an actual wave going past the house. I actually heard it coming before it hit and then it was like a train going by then quiet. Very cool, now I am looking forward to my next one.

My first quake as well. Now all I am missing is a tornado on my natural disaster bingo card.

Maybe next time we will be lucky with a combo . I had a couple of those touch down very near (within 1/2 mile) where I used to live in Florida but never actually never saw one either. It ripped the roof off of a Checker's burger drive-thru, a school gymnasium and of course hit the trailer park on the way out of town.

I was in San Antonio last night drinking with some friends, and I felt the whole house shake..The ground was moving under my feet. I was like "Damn...that Ron Abuelo was strong" hahaha, until I seen the whole neighborhood come outside all scared the houses were going to fall. But yeah, It was pretty strong. I dont look foward to seeing another one. =|
