Well of all the BS i am dealing with the last few days we can now top it off with an earth quake, on the 25th i will be rolling over 34 years of life on this coast and today while working on my AR-10 build i feel the house sway from side to side and some crap starts to fall in my closet.
Now all i need to see is a volcano go off and i will have seen it all, any one from the east coast feel that crap?

I experienced a little one when i was on my honeymoon in Antigua. Was a little scary. We were on the third floor of our hotel.
At the time the wife thought i had made the earth move, i just played along lol _________________________________________________________ Opinions are like arse holes, everybody has one and your's stinks.

Last one around our way was 1989 I was around 5 but remember it well.
So I have an idea of how you felt and all because it does feel strange and a little scary when the earth moves below you but luckily it didn't impact me or anything as much as some people.
In that link there are links to pictures and videos.

We get earthquakes all the time over here on the west coast. I've probably felt at least 6 in my 18 years of living so far. So it's not really a huge deal over here when one happens _________________________________________________________
All i know is it was a first for me in 34 years of life, on a side note it is 35 years as of today and i am drunk as hell so happy birthday wes and a big hell yeah to the last few years of talking to all you guys here at the HQ.

Happy belated b'day wes
lmfao.. crazy shit huh? can i ask did you actually see it coming.. My first earthquake (and only earthquake in newcastle) i saw it coming down the street, all i can explain it like is that is was like a worm coming down the tarred road, ripping it up, because where i was used to be a swamp but the city was built over it..
I grew up back and forth between Alaska and California, so lots of Earthquakes and even a good Volcanic eruption I have witnessed, We had a volcano go off in alaska, and it was snowing ash for a couple days. Pretty cool. I just need to witness a Tornado now.
