    About 3 minutes ago I just felt a pretty good earthquake here in Northern California. It was very short here, only about 10 seconds that I noticed. But, it was a strong one as felt the ground moving underneath me and I could hear things rattling in my home. Did anyone else feel that?

    Wow, a friend of mine in Riverside said they had been having small ones regularly. Think they had three greater than 2 on Richter scale last night or night before.

    Hope you people on west coast stay safe.

    It was a 4.4 centered just a few miles away. A good little shake.

    My brother lives in Costa Mesa. Is that anywhere near the earthquake?

    I haven't lived in Cali in over 3-years and believe me I don't miss them at all...

    One strange thing I did find out in my home state of Ohio they are recording alot of small quakes around the Cleveland area lately... Very Strange Indeed...

    Yeah, my cat can predict tsunamis, and the goldfish in my pond give pretty strong stock tips. You think I should set up a website? ;)
