Christina, the first time I experienced an earthquake was in Berkeley, CA. It was a small one at 5.5 (or close), but north Berkeley was the epicenter. I remember it was late at night and some party of drunk young people started to cheer. I was mortified and afraid to shower for a few days, for fear a big one would happen when I was naked 😋 That's actually true! But then the next one I experienced in Taichung, Taiwan. I was in bed (by myself) and my bed moved from one end of the room and back. I was severely depressed at the time, so just went back to sleep. I think a couple days later my boss took me to the hospital because I had stopped going to work for over a week. Not because of the earthquake.

bpcyclist, so you are a Dermatologist or have a background in that? Wow! I got professional advice on my face rash. You didn't even charge me a copay.
