Damn straight, safety first and fuck anybody who says otherwise.

Now this being thrown from mattress. Are you sure it wasn't wild sex?

I work in a "Christian organization", and was in a meeting. Room shakes, and I yelp "holy shit!" as we duck under the desks.

At least I didnt scream "Jesus fuck!" That wouldn't have gone over well, I'm sure.

We also would've accepted "Holy sheep shit!" And I'm sure everyone involved would've accepted the cursing in the face of possible death.

I live about 4 hours north on the central coast, so I didn't feel it.

However, my wife was about 10 miles away in the montclare plaza when it hit. We were on the phone, and it was really unsettling listening to her voice rise in pitch as she realized it wasn't going to stop. She quickly left as they closed the stores.

In Agoura it lasted exactly long enough to think "Wow, it's still going." And then it stopped.

damn Skippy, I live about 1/2 mile from Newport and HB, right on the cost, maybe a 100 feet up. first thing I did after the quake stopped was to go to the back windows, and look out at the ocean. To, see if any waves were at eye level or higher. those canyons out there are steep and deep as hell. It might not take much to get a really big slide going out there.

Felt it pretty good in Hollywood, but it barely put a dent in my activities. I was in the big 89 SF quake, which felt like fire and brimstone, so I barely blink at these fairy quakes anymore.

I remember having a weird nightmare right before the northridge quake, though the real nightmare began right after when my door flung and my ran in the room asking if I was okay while nude. The earthquake part hasn't really bothered me since then.
