A 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California, swaying lights and rattling cups off shelves
lol any proper California would just roll over and go back to bed in a 5.2. That’s basically just a massage.
When it first happened the USGS site had it rated as a 6.0 and I immediately called bullshit. The house creaked a bit, but my wife who was on a conference call didn’t even notice it. I probably only caught it because of my phone’s advanced warning alert.
I think in parts of the world where we frequently experience quakes and our infrastructure is built to handle them we need another word for these little shakers, instead of calling them full on earthquakes. This is like calling a light drizzle a deluge.
Yeah I was less than 10 miles from the epicenter and one thing fell off a shelf and I spilled my coffee. My dogs didn’t even bark.
Pets not caring is honestly a very reasonable litmus test for “should I care about this earthquake”
I was in surgery about to be put under when everything started shaking. We waited a while then proceeded
