Opening up the e-mail when "BOOM", a sudden jolt, unannounced and quiet.
Reports of a 5.0 in San Bernardino, about 60 miles east, are coming in.
Life moves on.

Oh goody, you will get to see the reports on TV over and over and over and over,,,, And so in so's birdy flew around it's cage, will probably be reported by every TV station. :~) Glad to hear that you are not too concerned.
So, you felt the earth move? You da man, Lew..
I spent 60 years in northern Cali and only one earthquake scared me... Beats the hell outta tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, etc IMO..

Please remove splinters before emailing
Later reduced to a 4.5, 10 miles north and a mile + down. As Maggy says: It's one that gives a fun ride but is too short. :-) jo4hn
We had a nice one when I lived it Japan. I wasn't worried about the house but all I could think of was the concrete power pole in front. I expected it to snap off, but it didn't. Found out on another that came in the night--you can hear it coming!
No floods, earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires or hurricanes here, but there is the occasional Tornado. And armadillos.
