but what if you're outside, maybe on a hike in the hills,
what would an earthquake feel like then??
I was driving home when my car started bouncing around. I pulled over, wondering what was wrong and how much it would cost to fix. I then discovered the earthquake, and sat there for the next 15 seonds until it stopped. It still felt like a car problerm even after I pulled over.
No, I was inside a camper during one however. We just sat on the living room floor and did nothing. But I was like younger than 7. This memory is part mine, and part hand me down. More recently by far however is there was a twister near by and we were outside on the porch of this apartment we lived at just gabbing with all the neighbors who were also hanging around. That was 5 years or less ago.
My som was in Sam Francisco last summer during a minor tremor he was innthe park playing frisbee when it happened. He told me it was odd. The ground moved but his eyes were on the flying disc and he thought his legs were messing up some how. Then he saw people reacting to the tremor. Some fell in the ground. Some ran. Some scream and a few even laughed. He said it was a unique experience. He still lives there
Yep.
Once back in the late seventies I went to High Park in Toronto. Came back home to find my wife (we were living on the tenth floor of an apartment building then) my wife in a panic over the building swaying and the books falling and she had to run around the apartment to keep things from falling off the shelves.
Myself? I didn't feel a freakin thing!
Sure, a few times in Northern California. Never noticed them if I was in a car, but under an undulating building or tower, it can be very weird.
I was on a play ground during 6.8 in Washington state I remember that it felt like vibrations and saw windows on the school shaking.
Actually, Earthquakes are a LOT harder to "Feel" Outside- because there's so little that "rattles", or "falls", or "breaks" ! It'd take a Fairly STRONG One- to notice it at ALL !!
It almost feels like a dizzy spell.
yea
No.
I always hear what it's like inside a building during an earthquake.
