Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tortoise Tom" data-source="post: 155276" data-attributes="member: 27883">Thanks Phil!These little earthquakes are WAYYYYYYY over blown. Its no big deal. If you were driving (Like I was for the one on Thursday) or walking (Like I was for the bigger one yesterday), you wouldn't even notice they were happening. No damage. The ground doesn't open up. No problems at all. They feel kind of like you are laying on a water bed and your significant other rolled over to get more comfortable. Yesterday I could hear the leaf springs on my parked Tacoma creaking and it sounded like someone was trying to open the sliding barn door that I was walking by. I stopped, looked and listened, and it was like: "Hey... we're having an earthquake..." I didn't even stop working on the task at hand, which was getting frozen foods ready for my hawk and snakes for the next day.The cool thing was that about 2 minutes before it hit, my macaw started making unusual noises at a time when he's usually quiet. I actually walked over to check on him and make sure he was okay. It was on the walk back over to the barn that the earth began rockin' and rollin' a little bit. I thanked him for the warning with a treat afterward.</blockquote>
