Scared crapless!
Okay, so it's pretty well known that I hate earthquakes, right? Well, in the half hour I've been home, we've had seven. I kid you not. Seven. They're small, just rattling the windows and what not, but it's scary as hell. And they're happening right underneath me. Well, I think it's technically a teensy bit out in the ocean a town away from me, so very very close.

Make that eight.

This is just scaring the crap out of me. I've never experienced something like this. I used to think having one a day or two a day was bad, but this is insane (nine). There's almost certainly going to be a big one if this keeps up. Maybe not the big one, but I have no idea how big this fault produces.

I have a feeling I'm not going to sleep at all tonight. *insert scared smiley here*

oo-er. In the last couple of years the UK has had several tremors. Did I feel even one of them? No.

But I hope the rumbling settles down for you!

Argh. We're up to at least twenty and I swear they're getting stronger/longer. Oh well. I can't really do anything about it. Prayers would be nice, though.

Kaitie - think of it this way, the earth is getting its stress relieved with each little one. It doesn't mean they are getting ready for a big one - lots of little ones are better than a big huge one, trust me.

Hang in there!

We just got hit by a 5. I'm hoping that's as big as it's going to get.

Bingo. Those little ones prevent big ones. So try to consider them a good thing.

We get very small ones every couple of years in upstate NY. They're so small that if you're walking when they happen you won't notice them. I'm told we have a fault line as big as the one in CA, but it has very little stress on it.

Does that work even if it's not in the same area? The news this morning said to expect more weak fives, and we've gotten two more already, though most of them are still small. My big fear is that it's going to trigger the big one, (which happens kind of far away) but I don't really know how it works in terms of proximity. It did trigger one more inland and that one was a lot farther away than I would have expected possible.

Hopefully they'll stop soon. We had over 60 last night, according to the news. At least none of them have been big, though, and there hasn't been much damage. It still makes me jump each time we have one, but if they don't get worse than this it'll be okay.

I'm so sorry!! It must be scary.

Costa Rica has little ones all the time; I think daily. I felt a ton of them while I was there, but there was no big one. I mean, they have big ones, but I don't think those related to the little ones.

Can you go to a nice open field or anything if you get too freaked out? My aunt and cousin were on a soccer field for their The Big One and folks just fell down, lol.

Take care! I have a roach phobia, and I hate visiting Florida, etc. But you can do it; you'll be fine.

The nearest I ever came to an earthquake was when blasters slowly progressed up the street. I watched and took pictures while the ground shook and the pavement heaved up in a long ridge in front of my house. At the last blast, the water main burst and all heck broke loose....

Well, since you're going to be awake all night, you might as well just keep posting in this thread.

I recall about five (eight?) years ago there was an earthquake felt in the Georgia-Alabama-Tennessee area at 5 in the morning, but I slept through it. For several days the Atlanta news radio station played a news promo on their coverage featuring this song. I wish I had a recording of that, it was a hoot. The seriousness of the broadcasters' voices were a great contrast to the innuendos in the song.

"But I was already there..."

Oh Kaitie, good luck, and stay safe! I've never been in an earthquake, but they've always sounded scarier than anything except volcanoes and tornadoes.

I suppose you could always camp out at the office for a while, if you feel safer there. *hugs*

My sympathies. When we lived in Alaska, we had several earthquakes. They were scary at first, but we had so many,

I remember waking up in the middle of the night with the bed shaking and my husband said, "What's that?"

I said, "It's just an earthquake. Go back to sleep."

I have a funny 'earthquake' story. In the little town where my dad grew up, waaay back years ago, there was an unexplained earthquake one afternoon. It made the paper, and you can ask anyone from town if they remember it and they do.

Except it wasn't an earthquake. My dad and his friends were playing with explosives for a rocket on a huge granite rock. A rock that turns out to run beneath the whole little town

LOL. That's awesome backslashbaby. My hometown in America was surrounded (literally) by oil and gas refineries. We'd occasionally get a shake in the house, and we always knew there'd been another explosion up at Exxon or somewhere. Happened at least a couple of times a year.

Anyway, time for an update. So the scientists weighed in and said we can expect this to go on for probably around ten days, but that the biggest it will get is likely to be a five. We've had two 5.3s already, a couple of fours, but most of them are twos or threes. It's freaky, but I'm starting to get used to it.

We've had it trigger one earthquake a ways away, but hopefully nothing like that happens again (or at least not el big one). Otherwise, I think I can handle this. It's scary, but knowing they won't get bigger helps a lot. I'll have a hard time sleeping, and there are more fun and less scary ways I can think to spend my vacation time, but oh well.

Oh, funny story! So I can feel like every single tiny little doesn't even register as a 1 on the Richter scale earthquake. Crazy but true. I can even feel the little waves that you're not supposed to be able to feel before the big waves get to you (s-waves?). Well, I've told people this before, or I'll comment about there being an earthquake, and a lot of times I get this, "You must have imagined it" response because other people don't feel them. I think I'm hyper-sensitive because they scare me and I'd never lived around them before. In my book the ground is not supposed to move, so I tend to notice when it does.

Well, I was at school today and talking to one of the teachers and we had a couple of small ones and I said, "Man, I hate this!" He was commenting that he didn't even feel anything. Well, about two minutes later I feel another one, so I turn around and say, "See!?" Well, right after I said this it turned big and shook the whole building so everyone else felt it too. It was just kind of cool and proved that I'm not completely insane lol.

Look at it this way... You're getting more accustomed to them whether you like it or not. Mother nature is teaching you systematic desensitization without a huge therapy bill. (And it's a little faster than you'd do in therapy. )

I am glad you are all right Kaitie! I have personally experienced earthquakes about 5 times (not at the epicentre, but quite a distance) and it was a strange feeling. It feels as if I am slightly drunk! Be safe.

Aaaaand...we have a volcano! How cool is that? Turns out that there's a little underwater volcano off the coast that every so often erupts and creates a new island. So what's going on right now isn't a normal fault earthquake, but earthquakes associated with the volcanic activity while the new island is being born. Very nifty. I'm going to have to find out if you can actually see it because if so I want to go down and take some pictures.

Anyway (again with the caveat of as long as it doesn't make the big one happen) I'm feeling a lot better about it knowing that. They said not to expect above a five, and since we've already had a few I know that's okay. The constant shaking is still spooky, but for the most part I'm getting used to it. I think you're right, Regan. It's basically helping me get over the being really terrified and helping me get used to it again.

Hopefully I'll be able to sleep better tonight. They still have a tendency to wake me up, but at least now that I know what's going on rather than be terrified by it, I know what to expect, which is all it really takes to help me feel better.

For surreal fun, try running down a staircase during an earthquake. When we had one in Alaska, my husband, dogs and I were upstairs. We went down to the level where we could leave the building if needed and on the way down, the stairs were swaying back and forth. And these are not free-standing stairs. They're between 2 walls.
