A number of years ago, in SoCal (where earthquakes are nothing too special), we had a similar sized quake (maybe a tad bigger). One guy from Denver was out and his eyes went big and wasn't sure what to do -- everyone else just kept talking and moved away from the big glass windows haha.


For my first quake in CA, I was peeing. (I'm a man and I pee standing up.) The shower doors next to me started to rattle, so I thought the people above me were jumping around. I didn't realize it was a quake! (The stream kept going where it was supposed to go.)

I came out of the bathroom and my roommate was terrified.

It was even funnier when my mom called me in a panic and I told her what happened.
