Earthquake in California...

Yeah, an earthquake struck California at 8:04 P.M. on October 30th. I was watching the Charlie Brown Halloween Special with my brother (he made me) when it happened.

There's been no reports of damage or injury so far, and it lasted for 10-12 seconds, according to ABC News. Also, supposedly there's been four aftershocks, though I haven't felt any.

We're due for a big one up here too, usually they happen like every 50 years or so, and the last one was about 50 years ago...

Anyway, California just ain't havin' good luck this year, although this Earthquake really wasn't really all that bad..

I haven't experienced an earthquake since Northridge in1994. I didn't feel anything today.

It was a pretty mild earthquake here in Martinez. I was sitting in my chair at work and the theater started to shake. My seat went side to side but that was about it. My friend who was visiting from New York was bummed that he didn't feel it. But for us Californians...It was nothing

Also, in the next 25 years we are due for a 7.0 earthquake that will decimate large portions of cities. Rescue personal teams are already being trained (Yes, I've sat through the countless hours of SAR training where we are told how to rescue people from damaged buildings and such. It's a lot of work but well worth it.) If you can't find enough time to join Search and Rescue, find out about CERT. Help your community when everything goes to pieces.

I'd rather have mild earthquakes then all that poisonous crap in Australia.

You're still living in the 50's, with all those crap horror films.

Wait, is that true? I hope not...
