Comming from the east coast USA I have never had this expirence till about a one minute again. Fascinating. I had to ask someone if thats what it was and indeed it was. My University is located on the San Andreas fault line.

I was about 10 or so and i was looking through some of my Grandad's stuff. I found all these pics of an earthquake aftermath. The bodies didn't look real.........

I remember my first small quake. I thought it was cool that I'd experienced one.
Then I experienced a moderately big one. Whole 'nother ball game. Not awful, but very, very different than a small one.
Small quakes make you go "wow, things are shaking".
Big quakes mess with your core sensibilities because at a deep level, you just don't think that the ground should DO that stuff (like moving in rolling waves).

|  | Total Hyper-Elite Member | | Join Date: May 2000 Location: Groom Lake, NV | | | That little thing (a 3.6) actually occured on the San Jacinto fault up near Devore. I and others in my company did a seismic study for the proposed seismic retrofit of the gymnasium complex at CSUSB a number of years ago. The structure is about one-half mile from the San Andreas fault. When, not if, it cuts loose, it could have a magnitude as high as 8 and, assuming you survive it, it will be etched into your brain for the rest of your life. Violent shaking will last for well over a minute, maybe two, and there will be widespread structural damage and collapse.
The San Jacinto fault is the most active fault in the state, and is capable of a magnitude 7.5. That too would be exceedingly nasty. Welcome to California.

|  | Hip No Ties | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: New York, NY | | I was living in the Los Angeles area from 1991 - 1993, and experienced the first moderate earthquake of my life in June of my first year. It happened during the early morning, just after the sun rose. And it was very unnerving - I woke up to the entire apartment building shaking violently...
Exactly one year to the day afterward, the first major aftershock hit. And at almost exactly the same time of day! This time I was living in a small one-room apartment in a converted garage. I woke up quickly enough to run outside to get a look at the quake in action...and watched in awe as six-foot high concrete block walls wobbled back and forth as if they were made of soft rubber...and the two SUVs parked in the driveway jumped up and down wildly on their suspensions as if they were little toy cars mounted on springs!
Just amazing stuff to see for a Midwestern/East Coast guy like me...
