I never felt an earthquake so I would think it would be a little scary. Glad you are all alright, a 5.0 is a good size quake.

Come to Illinois, you feel an earthquake once in awhile here Sluff, just nowhere near what California has. We have the New Mandrin Fault Line that has shifted a couple times and then gas storage explosions that rocked the area a couple times. They feel weird when they happen. We had one happen during the middle of the night in 2008. California can keep their big ones though. ;D

Yup, I felt it, too.  In fact I was thinking about the Costa Ricans running out of their houses, and I just sat there enjoying the ride.

Hearing a lot of stories about how bad the mudslides are in your neck of the woods, along with roof collapses. Be Careful Rerun.

AAAWWWWW!


The house shook for two seconds then the quake rolled through here.  Rumble, rumble rumble.

The cat jumped off of the chair and the dog came running to me.  Like I can do anything about it!
