Sitting here catching up on why the Haitians deserved to suffer when I tremor jolted the house. Funny how I can kind of tell the direction they come from / go to by which side of the house creaks first/last. Checking Google live results feed I see I was not the only one who felt it, though I don't see it yet on the quakes sites I occassionally check.
... Hey, if you can have snow threads, I can have a quake thread. That's about as close to weather as we get here in socal. ;)
Ack .. if a mod could move this to "friends" or somewhere appropriate like that, I'd appreciate it. :)

I remember when the 2007 quake there was in the news, and the pictures of damage. I don't think I'd ever heard of seismic activity in England before that in my life.
Since I moved here (southern California) in 2001 I've only felt maybe half a dozen of them. Never more than a jolt, like someone jumping up and down on the floor. Once though, I could swear I heard what I guessed was the sound of the wave zooming along the telephone/electrical wires outside ... kind of like a "zing" crossed with the sound sound of a bullet ricochet from an old Western.

or bothered to record earthquake activity without goin on a search, but skys done a little hisotry bit on uk earthquakes.
did you move there from over here?
That's very interesting ... somehow those pretty sizeable miniquakes over the last few decades escaped my notice.
And no, I moved from the other coast here ... New Jersey. I've always heard NYC is ripe for a large quake some day, but NJ ground doesn't move around much, as far as I can remember. Hurricanes and blizzards are more the thing there.
I didn't feel anything here in Ventura County.
-Aude.
Hey! I did too, in the afternoon!
It was centered in Baja, so I guess only we in extreme southern Cali felt the zing: http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/117-33.html
Please, I'm terrified after Haiti. I'm in NoCal. Both of my kids are in Oakland.
