So today was my 1st experience ever, to feel a real earthquake. It was a….. an undescribed experience for me, who has been living in a free quake country Malaysia.
The quake that shakes South California today was at scale 5.x magnitude. At that time, i was in a meeting on the 2nd floor.
The strongest shake was felt around noon for like a minute or two. My superiors continued the meeting for the lulz ¯\(º_o)/¯ According to my colleagues, this is the stronges over the years. Maybe I should consider to get a life insurance ▿_▿

The good thing is I live in Northern California.

Earthquake free SG here as well. Meh I would not like to experience a bad one. A volcanic eruption is something else.

thanks god u r ok. but 5.x should be okay. i would be surprised if anyone gets hurt in California at scale 5.x magnitude earthquake.

I will be ducking undercover in any place I can or running out into open space.
I never experienced one for real but when I do, I don’t think I will do that but instead panic for the sake of which I may die. @_@

Thanks for the tips and concerns guys.
KTLA morning programme did have some survival tips aired. And yes, ducking under table is in the list too.
The shake in LF/Irvine was weaker than in LA. It should be lower than 5. Since most building is having wooden floor, its difficult for me to differentiate a quake or someone stomping around hard @_@

up here in northern cali it’s been awhile since anything’s really scary… although we do have quite a history ^^;; nothing i’d worry about though… too infrequent to really do anything but stock up on emergency supplies if you’re living here…

Hah! My family and I went down to LA for vacation when it happened. We happened to be in a building designed specifically to withstand the stuff. It was pretty fun from my end. I mean, obviously people who were hurt/had things damaged wouldn’t think so, but from where I was it was just kinda funny.
