1. I have been jumping out of my skin.
I kept telling myself it was the wind or my imagination. Feeling them here in Redondo Beach as well.

8. Huh, missed it in Manhattan Beach.
We were all in the den but at only 4.2 I'm not surprised that we didn't notice it.

11. You talking to me?
Lol, you were talking to Denbot, who is my neighbor!

And there's no way you'd feel them at those levels, unless you were right on top of them, and sitting quietly!

:P

:hi:

3. I have a feeling that area, never exactly quiet, is
going to be rumbling for some time to come.

I hate earthquakes. I always felt them when we'd have them in Boston, tell people, and have them look at me like my space helmet was on backwards until they announced it on radio or TV.

There's only been one in my part of NM since I've been here, although we're characterized as a moderate risk zone.

If I leave NM, it will be in favor of an even more geologically stable area.

6. I know,
the sequence might last upwards of two years. At least the birds did not wake up.

4. we're in North Park
and haven't felt one in weeks. Weird topography or something. :shrug:

Haele says we're on bedrock, but I dunno if that's it.

5. That's it
I am down in the valley... ah sand, glorious sand.

:hi:

When we finally move, I swear I will look at the substrate map.

15. Just a jiggle here in Yuma. I read at night and watch my hanging flower pot
when I feel the movement. It barely moved. Now, the big one on April 4th I was at the computer and everything was swaying, particularly the book shelves above my head. That was scary!!!

14. I haven't felt a thing in my area of LA, but my cat has been going nuts tonight.
I wonder if he's feeling them?
