Default Earthquake in LA!

Last year I was sitting at my computer when I felt a brief, but rather
violent quake. I immediately looked it up on the USGS site, where I was
surprised (and a bit embarrassed) to discover that it was only a 3.2.


I'm surprised you made such a big deal over it. When I lived in
Orange Country, I experienced numerous 4.x quakes with the epicenter
within 2 miles of me.


Well, gee thanks for the sympathy!

My favorite type was when the ground would fall 5-10 feet and then do nothing
else.


The one I was talking about did the opposite: the ground (actually, the
floor, or the chair I was sitting on) suddenly jolted *up*. It was weird.
