Oh boy did I feel that earthquake. Since it wasn't in SF or LA, it's not getting that much news. I was at work about 50 miles from the epicenter. At least 3 people died in Paso Robles. We left work 2 hours early because they still haven't restored our electricity. However, at my house, which is about 10 miles closer to the epicenter, we have electricity, and I can barely tell that anything moved here!
I was sitting at my desk at work and all of a sudden the windows started to rattle. A co-worker shouted "Earthquake". Then for the next 30 seconds it felt like the room was bouncind up and down and swaying back and forth. Cars that were parked in the parking lot were all bouncing around. It was crazy! I felt dizzy, but I think it was because I couldn't focus on anything because everything was moving. The trees outside looked like a 100mph wind had just come through.
Too bad those people died. Otherwise it was a cool experience. And I'm glad none of my stuff was damaged at my home. Lots of other homes and businesses have tons of damage.
It was a 6.5. It think that is considered pretty bad. They were calling it major.
It was funny that I was the only one at work that remained calm afterward. I work at a bank so I had to tell everybody to lock up the doors and their cash.
I guess it was on the major news a little, but like I said, if it's not in the major cities nobody cares.
