Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I live in Anaheim, I've been in alot of them as well TB. The 1971 Sylmar one was a doozy, as was the Northridge and the Whittier one we had in the 80's and 90's. I kinda like them, but they scare my kid's. I always try to do all I can for them when we have one so as to calm them down while we go through it.
Originally Posted By Sara Tonin I actually like them too. I work on the third floor (actually it's the fourth because there is a basement) of a building that has the rollie cushiony things under the building so it never feel as jerky as it really is. They all feel kind of rolling and gentle.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight <<You guys are scaring me!! I have never felt a earthquake and never want to. How can you crazy people like it? what if one day its the big one?>> First off, being afraid in one is a natural reaction to some. Other's (like myself) it does't phase. As for being crazy and liking it, I could say the same about somthing you like that scares me.( might even be as simple as a roller coaster for you) You should be thankful that some of us are ok with them and stay calm. We calm one's just may save your life by being calm over one one day. I'm just sayin. The fact that BIG ONE, WILL hit some day is inevitable. Mother earth does what she does when she want's to do it. We just need to remember that and try to be prepared. You should go around yoru house and your office, if you work, and check things out and find out what potential dangers there are in such event. If you take precautionary measures you will feel alot safer and if you practice what you willdo in case of an earthquake over and over again in your head, you willbe ALOT more clear headed and calmer when one does hit. ST, I bet it's fun in yoru building whith them rolly things. LOL

About being crazy i wasnt meaning it seriously. If i lived in cali for a long period of time im sure it wouldnt bother me as much. If the big one comes just tell mother nature to leave Disneyland alone and keep everyone safe.
