Soo last night i was sleeping then all of a sudden everything starts to shake like crazy. I wake up at about 2 30 am. I think its the fucking end of the world, then all of a sudden it stops. I walk into class the next day to be told that we had a 4.1 magnitude earth quake........it was weird/fun/ scary at the same time. So thats my story....anybody else been in one?

Earthquakes are pretty crazy...I was in Japan a few years ago and they have like little tiny ones all the time, and most people don't even notice them. Unfortunately I am very sensitive to them so I was sick to my stomach pretty much the whole week.

I forget exactly why these occurs, I leant about it in geography 12 last year, but it has something to do with stress fields and crustal weakness instead of the normal tectonic plate movement. I'm no major in this, this is all I remember, so dont mark my words.

we had a rad one in seattle like 5 years ago. I think it was a 6.8, it was intense. The ground felt like liquid, and everything shook like crazy. I want it to happen again.

4.1 is nothing. and it is possible for earthquakes to occur away from fault lines.

i did a project on northern ontario earthquakes... and sudbury, north bay that area is on a fault line or where earth quakes occour regularly but they dont usually feel anything cause the plate/ground is very thick rock making it a dampener to quakes

There was one Souht of Buffalo when I was younger. i was playing in the woods. It was just weird. Small. Don't remember the magnitude. There is a very old big fault that runs through the area, but it isn't prone to movement though.-

yea japan is pretty nuts with all that i was there for a year and i dont know how many i felt the little ones are cool and fun but the big ones sketch you out. the best thing to do is to jump off a ledge or something and try and land on your feet with out falling over. but then all the japs think your some crazy white boy jumping around....which i guess i was.
