Wow. There's some things I want to experience in my life and one of them is an Earthquake(top of the list being a Mushroom cloud rising in the distance... sadly, that dream isn't possible anymore due to the atmospheric testing ban in 1980?).

So, it wasn't major I presume? Just a little rumble that got everyone shitting bricks?

Earthquakes are neat. Another thing thats a little scarier are when military jets fly too low over residential areas. I live near a military base, and a jet broke the BLAH BLAH barrier, and there was like a shockwave following it, it felt like you were being hit from one side, and i was right next to a window and I was sure the glass was gonna shatter all over me.

Er, why did you say 'BLAH BLAH barrier'? The sound barrier? If it was traveling that fast, you were hit with a sonic boom.

I couldn't recall the name at the time, and didn't feel like thinking too much over it.

Thx though

The biggest quake I've felt is 6.8, it was pretty crazy.

The Valdivia quake was 9.5, strongest ever recorded according to wiki.
