I just felt a little earthquake, it was not too shaky it just felt like my bed was being shaken by someone, and not only that this is the second time I felt a tremor a few days ago and now I am a little nervous, usually small tremors happening more often are signs of big ones to come and from what my father told me there has not been a big earthquake on this island is the 1920s.

Infact I never experianced a big earthquake in my life, I did experiance a big hurricane hitting the island, George was its name.

Insert obligatory "That's what she said!" joke here.

It's probably just some creepy dude who shakes your bed.

I live around Cabo Rojo, no wonder I felt its just a short distance from the land.

I farted. Sorry about that.

Seriously, I used to get earthquakes in Missouri and we haven't had a big one there in over 100 years but it still scared the shit out of me.

I experienced my first earthquake about 7 years ago. It was kind of scary, as I was watching tv and at the very instant that there was an explosion the building shook. After awhile I got used to them and even ended up sleeping through some of the earthquakes that happened overnight.

Around here there's often stories in the newspaper or in the alt-newsweeklies about "The Big One" being long overdue along the Wasatch Fault Line, usually with solemn and sober geologists or seismologists speaking with forbearing authority on the subject.

Better hope I'm not indoors when it happens. The greater Salt Lake area has a high number of earthquake UN-proof deathtraps--Unreinforced Masonry Buildings--most being private residences. The lack of earthquake incidents hasn't prodded any movers and shakers (pardon the pun) to get buildings up to code. It's expensive to retrofit older, especially historic, buildings, and when it's not on anyone's mind it just sort of gets overlooked among other funding public works.

But that many UMBs can really cause a death toll to skyrocket in the event of a large quake. Think the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.

I grew up in Southern California. Little tremors was a fairly normal experience.If the building wasn't collapsing you simply sighed, looked at your watch and waited in annoyance until it was over.

I just felt another tremor and seriously its been that long since the last one.

Goodness these occurances happen when you least expect it. Of course my religious mother kept say, "Pray to God and no earthquake will happen." Oh yeah that totally helped Japan, Haiti, and Chile a few years back.

Haha, that's what she said!

i have it quite often, luckily i'm not living near the ocean or living where the building is tall

Its times like this I would like to live a large continant like Europe, Mabye I should move to Germany right in the center, or Canada. I don't know why people call Tropical areas like Islands or Coastal areas a Paradise when we have it worse when it comes to weather. If a big Earthquake happened in say Nebraska USA, you only just have the Earthquake, we have to contend with both an Earthquake and a Tsunami :P

And we have to contend with big Hurricanes and again we have it worse with the added floods :P

well actually in my part of island outside of volcano which is quite easily avoided and earthquake which off course another thing, we dont have too many natural disaster like hurricane. flood, now that another thing, welcome to 3rd world country where people dump their garbage on the river. but even than luckily river here are (at least part of my city) is small and i live quite a distance from it.
