Best advice is to just stay prepared in the event of a large quake. No need to live in fear, just be ready.

THANK YOU.

Gosh. I get so bothered when people say there's going to be an earthquake at a specific time.

ANYONE can predict that there's going to be a "big" one in the future. Why? Because a "big" one can be anything at this point. (Btw I didn't want to sound mean to those who did just mention about a potential large earthquake. I've just heard so many earthquake messages. Lol)

Aside from all of that... I watched my cousin update his facebook status as the earthquake happened rather than duck and cover--and I feel ashamed for myself for sitting on the couch laughing at him while he did this. Lol

Apparently another one just shook. My coworker was freaking out. I didn't feel it... what the hell?!

Trojan_SC · 08-08-2012, 12:45 PM

Didn't feel it at all. Then again I also barely felt a 6.3 that was 160mi away when I was in Kabul. Lol

I haven't felt any of them so far. I haven't checked on my car yet... Kinda worried...

Style · 08-08-2012, 03:50 PM

one last night and one this morning like 3-4 hrs ago...pretty scary. I didn't feel the one today but I did feel the one last night. This is making me think that the big one is coming. :/
