Was That An Earthquake I Just Felt??

I have undergoed a earthquake last May, It was not as terrible as think, I feel the ground was shaking intensely, even the chairs jumped up. We did not konw what happened at first, when we realized that was earthquake, rushed out by instinct. It was reported that the earthquake did not affect to much, and no one hurt, We only feared of it happened again in night.

Yes Rozie you did have an earthquake it was 4.5 When I want to know when the last earthquakes are I go to this site http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/

Hmmm, I don't know. I know I don't live all that far from you and I don't think I felt anything. I was watching a TV show on Hulu.com. I can check on the USGS website and find out.

Hi Rozie37! Yes, I do think that what you felt is real. Searched the net for recent earthquake activities and here is the report I have found: Magnitude 5.0 - local magnitude (ML) Time Thursday, January 8, 2009 at 7:49:46 PM (PST) Friday, January 9, 2009 at 3:49:46 (UTC) Distance from San Bernardino, CA - 2 km (1 miles) S (183 degrees) Colton, CA - 6 km (4 miles) NNE (25 degrees) Rialto, CA - 8 km (5 miles) E (89 degrees) Loma Linda, CA - 8 km (5 miles) NNW (331 degrees) Los Angeles Civic Center, CA - 88 km (55 miles) E (86 degrees) I got this from: PRELIMINARY EARTHQUAKE REPORT == California Integrated Seismic Net Your imagination is not running wild dear; although I didn't feel the earthquake here at my place. lol Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

i dont know.. but i hope you alright.

I see~~~the Pacific plate and the American plate may knock each other at the time when you felt the earthquake~~~haha

I am way across the country in Ohio, I didn't feel anything. I have felt an earthquake before here in Ohio, I knew right away what it was too. It was just an itty bitty one, I would not want to feel a big one. Have you always called Cal. home? I have an Uncle that doesn't live far from you. He is in Oxnard, I have some cousins that live in the area too. Be careful Rozie.

i'm so sorry that i can't give you any information on that as i'm not staying in california... but if you are wide awake and you feel the shake, then most probably you are right that it is an earthquake... just stay safe and i will inform you if i heard anything from the news... take care and have a nice day...

Yes, my friend. it was an earthquake. I didn't feel it but my husband told me about it. He said it was rock in Los Angeles. I dont know how hard but it might be ok tho. I used to feel one last year while I was sleeping on a sofa. I dont like it but what can I do cuz Live here in California.

quite possibly yes unless you are dreaming!!

Hello Rozie37! I am not from California so I am not sure if what you felt is earthquake. You know what, my mom told me that to be able to know if there's earthquake, look at the wirings hanging around you and if it's moving, it is really an earthquake.

I am in England and I really hope it was just a little one,nothing serious and they are devastating when they hit,I have seen on the news that California is being hit by fires at the moment the last thing you need is an earth quake as well.Has anyone contacted you to confirm your suspicions we had an earthquake in Folkstone kent last year and that was bad enough my cousin who lives there said it was so frightening and the ground shook,it was the first one in that area for so long no one can remember,the weather is changing all round the world and they reckon the plates are on the move so goodness knows what we will get next,take care .Do you have any shelters to go to? I have heard that houses and buildings on fault lines have to be earthquake proof sincerly hope they stick to building regulations where you are,let us know if you have any more tremours of the ground.

I hope you are not dreaming, then it may be a eath quake. I just saw the news nothing was like that was reported ask your friends if they have felt the same if yes then i am sure it is earthquake

I just checked the news and I couldnt find anything about it...of course I am nowhere near California. i hope you can find someone to help a little more than I did, Stay safe.
