Y’all! An earthquake just shook me awake in my bed! So excited! Never experienced that before!
I grew up in Los Angeles. I slept through most of them. The exception was the Northridge quake. That one had me bouncing about 6 inches off the mattress.
Now I live in the Pacific Northwest. Very prone to earthquakes here too, as the entire area is volcanic. However, they don't happen as often as they did in Los Angeles. Actuall,y I have yet to feel one up here, but I have only been here about 8 years now.
I can see it being sort of fun, as long as it's not like Alaska's latest one !
It was pretty tame. So fun and unusual for us here in Georgia.
In Seattle years ago a tremor woke my wife (I was out of town of course). She called 911 and told the operator 'I think someone just drove into the side of my house'.
The operator said 'We just had an earthquake. Could that be it?'.
My wife's response was 'Thank god'.
The operator said she'd never gotten quite that reaction during an earthquake 911 call before. ?
Love it when I wake up to a dream that is actually happening for real, everytime I wake to someone rocking my bed they're not there
I live in Atlanta too, didn't notice a thing...
Sorry to hear that. It was cool!
@brainyactress I have felt a couple here...I just missed out on this one. I haven't ask my daughter...she is a creative night owl and just got back for the holidays from California where she goes to school...she was up that morning when ai got up at 5. I'll let you know if she felt it.
@brainyactress My daughter felt it...said it was very cool. She goes to USC so she has experienced them before, Southern Cal style!
Ugh! I prefer my ground to quietly lay there, thankyuvurrymuch.
Good for you and great attitude about impending death. ?
It was pretty mild.
Be safe! If you need anything, let us know.
Pretty tame. A few glasses clinking in the cabinets is the worst of it. So, I got to enjoy the experience. Was a 4.4 about 200 miles away in TN but ATL is in the Appalachian piedmont so it traveled fast down that fault line.
A 4.4 according to early reports, felt in GA and TN.
That’s the one.
