So it wasn't really that bad. I've never experienced an earthquake, but I would assume that size would cause a bit of structural damage, like chimneys coming off the roofs, maybe some cracks in walls or something...
I got close to feeling what an earthquake could be like when walking to school yesterday. Someone was fixing the pavement for some reason, and was using a drill, which made the floor shake. It was weird
ive always wanted to feel an earthquake. and i got my wish august 2007. it was a very small one. i was the only one in class who felt it. then later that night at 2 am there was another small one.
and now im like hypersensitive to seismic activity. i feel small ones (1.5-2.5) all the time.
and last night was pretty big compared to those ive felt. nearly everything was shaking.
i was just about to hide under my desk when the shaking stopped.
