Intense is not the word for the ‘89 quake. Where I am (a mile from the epicenter) it felt nuclear.

Nothing today, thankfully.

I was in a very small one here on the east coast once!

I live on the Chesapeake Bay and the soil around here is clay in nature, so any little shaking is amplified by the soil. When it hit it felt like I was sitting on a bowl of jello for about 20 seconds. It was very freaky and my equilibrium was a little out of whack for several hours after. Thankfully it was so small that there was no damage other than the sounds of the house creaking and the cats getting worked up a bit.

I can't imagine living through a REAL quake!

My little roller is plenty.
