In the great scheme of things, our 5.6 magnitude earthquake last night was like shaking a bowl of Jello.
That said, it was one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced. It only lasted a few seconds but it totally disoriented me and made me nauseated while the house was swaying and shaking.
Now I can't imagine how the people in California, Alaska, Japan and New Zealand deal with the major quakes they have! Californians wonder how we can stand living in Oklahoma with our tornadoes...but I'll take them any day over another earthquake! At least you can get in a hidey-hole when one of them hits. During a severe earthquake, I don't think there's anywhere you can hide! And, earthquakes can't be predicted.
