I'm extremely proud of how calm I was, I moved to the doorway and just waited it out. It took a few minutes for me to realize the house had stopped shaking and it was my knees still shaking.Several years ago pre-kids, we were awoken by some shaking at 4am. I dragged Mr. Man to the bathtub for safety, where we stood and listened to the radio for damage reports. Ten minutes later Mr. Man rubbed his bleary eyes as though he were waking up. He then said, "Uh.. why are we in the bathtub, it's not a tornado, just an earthquake" I'm not the most rational person in a crisis.

Crazy! I hadn't even heard about it yet - if it aint' an earthquake, it's a wildfire...sure you don't want to move to Utah? :)
I lol at your bathtub story. i have a dilemna for you, we were in Jamba juice at the spectrum when the quake hit. We were standing right in front of 15-foot tall windows that ran along the whole store, 6 feet away from a counter behind us. Where do you go? As i watched the glass warble and wave, i prayed that it was safety glass. i had horrible images of my 2 children being torn to shreds by these HUGE windows as they came crashing down on us. Glad you guys were home and (relatively) save in the bathtub.
I love earthquak stories! The idea is scary but which is a worse ride, a fair/canival coaster or a 5.2?
