When I told my ex back in 1993 that I was moving to San Francisco, the reaction I got was one of surprise. "You're afraid of earthquakes," it was pointed out to me.
It's true. And every time I feel one, I get a little scared. I've never been through a big one, but tonight's 5.6 quake lasted a bit longer than the ones I've felt up to now. This was the highest magnitude quake I've ever experienced. I got up from my computer chair during the quake, wandered aimlessly, not sure what to do. Then when it was over after 10-15 seconds, I went back to my computer and looked it up on the USGS web site to find out the magnitude and epicenter.
