My First California Earthquake
Well, there have been a couple while I've been in California - but I have always managed to be somewhere else when they happened. Not today. Sitting in my office and first one monitor - then the other starts shaking... My response, same as the earthquake when I was in Oregon - Time to call Cathy, her advise - the same, Why are you talking to me.

This one seemed to go on for a long time - according to the US Geological Survey - Shake Map There was a 6.0, followed by several other smaller quakes... The aftershocks. Well things have quieted down here, and I must say I feel a lot better about this little earthquake than I do about all of the Hurricanes hitting my parents in Florida.

So my vote is no warning, and get it over before you have time to be scared.
