I've always been interested in earthquakes and I get an e-mail from USGS everytime there is a large one. They have been having them in the Kuril Islands for about a week now and now a 8. Also Chile has been having more of them and that's where I'm headed in a month. Scary

I'm originally from California and felt many earthquakes. I am fascinated by them but must confess that I have never had severe damage. If I had suffered major damage, I'm sure I would feel differently.

McKeever, you have that right
I lived in Encino - 2 miles from the epicenter of the Northridge Quake in 1994. My house was "Yellow Tagged" meaning not habitable but safe enough to enter. We lost 60% of its value and had a lot of problems with the house. We never returned to it.

What a horrible, terrifying experience. I feel for you. I hope you had good insurance but even that couldn't help your emotional damage.

Yes, I had a very hard time going back in to get my things to move. I was lucky my friend who lived close by had water and electricity and my (ex) husband and I stayed with her for a bit. We actually went away for a week where we would not feel the aftershocks. I experienced the 71 Sylmar quake and it was NOTHING like Northridge. A lot of people moved away. The website at www.usgs.gov shows that he quake was not felt in Japan.

Nope, we didn't feel the earthquake. We were at Yokota AB last night (25 miles west of Tokyo) and heard about it there.
