Did you feel the quake?


I live in central California and was at work during our little earthquake the other day. It was my first. I had just sat down to chart when I noticed the hospital seemed to be moving around. In a fog, I got up and heard noises, code triages called, panic, etc. Fortunately no one was hurt where I reside, but it was quite interesting.

What were you doing when it hit?

Hi!
I too live on the central coast...it was a huge one!! I have lived in Cali all my life, felt many quakes. BUT< this one was a ride!! I had just gotten out of the shower, and right now I am taking care of an injured back, so my husband actually thought I fell in the shower. So he ran for me, and I was yelling for him to grab our daughter, who I knew was bare foot. She began to run right into masses of broken glass. But we all survived. House was destroyed, messy. Hope we're done shakin for the next 100 yrs, thats all I need in this lifetime!!
