Earthquake! Everything all right, nothing broken!
10 years ago
So at about 11:42PM I felt the effects of an Earthquake, this is Pacific time mind you since I live in the Vancouver area. I was just settling in, having walked home after being out today and then it hits, out of nowhere there is a sudden bang. Almost like a thundercrack, my first thought is that something large had fallen upstairs like a big dresser or even a fridge or even perhaps something had hit the house! Was so spooked, but it was immediately followed by the whole house shaking, the walls just vibrated. Apparently it was a lot more spooky in some areas but it was not just felt here, from Vancouver, all the way to our provincial capital WHICH IS ON A FUCKING ISLAND, look up the distance too! Was enough to wake people up there.

Everything is completely fine here though, nothing even broke. :3

Here in Southern California a 4.4 quake hit very close to where I am at 5:48 pm PST. I didn't feel it since I was driving, but millions of others did.
