The earth moved for us

ie for myself and Mr SW (of course. Who else ) in our Californian King sized bed at precisely 6.25 am today. It only lasted a few seconds but, hey, what can you expect at our age
As some of you know, we are currently at our son's in Los Angeles. They get a fair few small earthquakes all the time there. This one didn't feel any bigger than the ones with epicentres near Ripon and Stoke a few years ago but it was 4.4 and centred just a few miles down the freeway. Our 4 yr old grandson was wildly excited and "just a lil bit scared". Mr SW and I turned over and went bqck to sleep. Too much excitement is bad for you at our age 8

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Sticky, look north.......I'm waving at you at the moment
Nice to see you in my time zone for a change.
Enjoy the shaking but no big ones, please0 -

Are you sure it's not the super sized people moving their chairs after eatting a super sized meal!! Enjoy the rest of your vacation in Los Angeles.0

Crikey. :shock: The earth has never moved for me, not once, probably because around here it tends to melt into the sea. The main thing is that you two are OK - have you eaten any avocados yet? DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Heard about the earthquake on the news last night! I'm glad your both OK. I must admit when I saw the title of the topic my dirty mind went into over drive like most of yours on here!!
I've been privilaged to feel 2 Earthquakes in this country! 1st was in 1990, I was at college and the most recent was in 2007 and it was in the early hours of the morning and it woke me up it freaked me out and we turned on Sky news and they said there had been a small earthquake near Kidderminster.0 -
Boomer- I thought of you as we flew over (most of) Canada. An odd route.)
Barbara- not a King sized bed but a California King. Ample room for a third person :shock
DD- avocados, mangos, wine, guacamole to die for and fast food that is both fasr and proper food. I'm happy.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

There have been further tremors . . . . DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Your tremors made the news here :shock:
The earthquake I was in made a loud grinding sound, and lots of swaying of the building.
Hope you haven't spilled any wine .0 -
Perish the thought, Anna
There are earthquakes every day here but most are too small to be felt. The second was bigger than the first but further away. We only felt a wobble.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Only a wobble.. think I would be opening another bottle.. xLove
