I was panicking because the ground was shaking and the louvres were shaking.The chairs that were turned up in the classrooms were falling down.After the earthquake my body was still trembling. I was terribly frightened.

I've been waiting most of the day for this to hit the forum.

Good size earthquake and in an odd space.
Here, keep this and follow the aftershocks. I see you are having them.

You can click on the globe and will show you where and when.

I need to read the story from the news..but need information from folk down there as well.

Godspeed...

CT at a depth of 90 miles beneath the surface of the Earth, according to the USGS Web site.

That is very deep one. Going to have a lot of aftershocks ....

Let me know how things are going....

Hey there Mike, I survived the 7.1 in the Bay Area...and it is scary. My friend walked out of a building to put money in the meter, the quake hit and his coworkers died in that building. We helped with the rescue when the freeway collaped. Come on out a feel one for yourself!

Holly Sheet!

You guys (Paul & Marley) bring up a good point. If a tsunami hits after all of this, where is America to find the weed? Will it just wash up on our shores? Make sure the guy from Hayward,CA gets some so he can chill out!

You are in dire need of counseling. People have died and lost their homes. You are a true idiot.
