    Hah, I had dreams about earthquakes last night. I thought I felt something today but talked myself out of it, thinking "it's just on your mind because of those dreams."

    That's cuz real Californians don't feel 'em 'til they're over 4.0. Anything else isn't worth bothering with. :lol:

    That was an odd one. Felt like a truck slammed up against my house, followed by the house doing the jello dance for a second or two. Neighborhood dogs barking like mad.

    Earthquake

    You felt two forms of seismic waves, which both release energy. The first "slam" motion was the P-Wave you experienced. The more "jello-like" motion, was the S-Wave.

    http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/faq/?c ... 2&faqID=26

    The S-Wave can generate some strange sensations. In really BIG earthquakes, if you are lucky enough to be outside to witness ground motion, you can see objects or the road itself move around like sea-waves.

    Kittees and I didn't feel anything in Burlingame this morning, so we missed the ride :)

    it's best to have medium sized ones (5's 6's) then to have it build up and get more tense and have a ginormous ones.
    well, that's one of the theories of big earthquakes.
