[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1772868, member: 42782"] Maybe it's the oil shifting around underground. Sort of like natural fracking. I grew up in earthquake country. Earthquakes are really fun as long as nothing falls on you. You get used to them. Sitting at the dinner table and the forks and knives go skittering across the table. You just retrieve them and keep eating. But if there's thunder everybody runs outside to see the lightning. At least they did in my neighborhood. One morning my sister and her husband in LA were getting ready for work. He was shaving and she was in the shower. A big one hit. Kelly grabbed Lesley, who grabbed a robe, to run outside. Everybody on the street was outside in front of their houses. Lesley looked at Kelly and said Kelly, your naked! He grabbed her robe trying to pull it off her and cover himself with. Then he regained his senses. The brick chimney had fallen. One time I was staying at their house. They had a grumpy elderly husky dog that likes to crawl under the bed to take naps. I was having a nap and woke up with the bed shaking. That darn dog and I leaned down to look under the bed- no dog. So I ran out into the hall and held on by doorframes. It was a rolling swaying motion and a roaring noise, kind of like being in the hallway of a passenger train. Where I live now in Oregon is on the Subduction Zone. The Pacific Plate is sliding under the Continental plate, thats what wrinkled up the Coast Range. The subduction zone has been locked and estimated over due to bust by 350 years. What happens when it gives is the whole landscape shakes, rears up then drops by 20 feet. You have to earthquake proof your house, bracket everything that could fall and put a restraint on your water heater, but why? [/QUOTE]
