Yep, there was a 5.4 off of Baja and it hit at almost the exact same time as the OC quake. I felt it here in Palm Springs. Told hubby we had one and he said I was imagining it cause the fan light in the kitchen wasn't swinging...DUH...I had the fan on so of course it wouldnt be swinging.

Last week, I got a National Geographic vidoe from the library about natural disasters. The earthquake guy was saying the reason why people were so afraid was because you never knew when they would hit. That's what I've been saying for a long time!! So I'm not crazy, LOL. (DH thought I was)

Dont get too excited dear....I was living in St. George, Utah in 1991 (or '92) when one hit down there!! LMAO!! I thought I was imagining things cause I am originally from Cali!! All these homes were damaged and no one had earthquake insurance.

That would be me -- I live on the Gulf Coast. We have hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods - but most of that can be anticipated by watching the Weather Reports. I don't think I could handle earthquakes -- to much like someone jumping out from behind BOO!
