May our hearts reach out to California with the earthquake in the last day
The latest on damaging earthquake in California
This is not the biggest earthquake but to live with the stress of the inevitable earthquake must be a terrible burden.
When I experienced a 3.2 earthquake it was unsettling but no damage.

I would be pleased to know your thoughts and concerns.

I am concerned about these folks, too. I'm sure something like that is an emotional ordeal with belongings and homes being lost and/or damaged and people being hurt. Plus I think it would be anxiety-producing for them. "What if another happens again?" they are likely thinking.

it must have been so scarry!!

Some people who had friends there said it was traumatic and depressing. It really changes the world you think of as stable.

I would think the fact it happened in the middle of the night would add to the fear involved.

Good thoughts to all effected by the earthquake.

Yes, when you are awakened by something like that must be an unsettling experience at best.

I live in CA, and I was awakened by a different earthquake a couple of years ago. The epicenter was only about 5 miles from my home near Santa Barbara. It can be very scary.

I ran for the door, but couldn't even make it to the door before the shaking stopped. I was lucky ... no damage done, but yes, it was unsettling !

You were lucky. But sometimes "nearsies" like that can help you deal with more severe situations if they ever come up again (hopefully not)

Thank you for sharing your experience.

It is a scary time in the world...and no place is safe from natural disasters as they will strike anywhere in strange, unsuspecting places. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will be on the rise.

My heart goes out to those who experience them.
