^I'm just happy it wasn't alot closer to town. Can't imagine the result if one that big hit downtown.


I was in the driveway after starting my Yaris and ready to head out when it hit. My first thought was the car was finally acting up for the first time ever (never happened before). I turned it off and stepped out of the car to find out the ground was still shaking. So then I thought either I'm getting dizzy for no reason or the ground is really moving. The latter was confirmed when I looked over at my neighbor's Civic parked next to me and the wheels were rolling back and forth just a little. I knew there was a big one not too far away because it went on for at least half a minute.

Be prepared everyone. Big one's coming...
