So six months in LA and finally I experienced an earthquake. And it was a pretty decent one. At first it was recorded as a 5.8 then it downgraded to 5.4. You can see the details here: http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/ci14383980.html.
Well it was different from what I expected. I was in North Hollywood at work when I saw my desk start to wobble and I thought it was just my leg tapping the desk. It wasn't until all my moniters and cubicle walls begin to shake that I realized it was an earthquake. Once that dawned on me, it was basically over. Must have been only 6 seconds long. The only feeling I had was that I felt like I was sitting on jello and someone was wobbling it around. I was expecting more rumbling and not being able to walk properly and falling down. Even my toys on my desk didnt fall over. I'm kind of disappointed, but maybe that's a good thing.
Oh well at least I can scratch off earthquake from my list of natural disasters I survived. I think I only have volcanic eruption and tsunami left now.
