When Big Bear hit and I was with my Ex in Belmont Shores/LB, we went outside and watched the street roll.. that was freaky. My then 2yr old Siberian Husky couldn't grip the floors b/c they were wood... and she was pretty shaken too. Just give the big boy a hug and a belly rub.. that should do it.

i guess they dont bother me . not that im used to them since they really dont happen very often its when stuff starts breaking that i get excited.. how ever we do have an earthquake plan so to speak , living quarters/shelter food/water transportation/fuel and most important ammunition.

i still think something big is not too far away. too many recent earthquakes as of lately.

For some reason, there's a move from Calif to Texas... And I'm not the only one that made it here. The Calif dollar will make it a long way here in Texas.

Tom, we have earthquakes AND snow & ice here. Once in a while a big one will rock the place for several seconds before it stops. Those ones make us hold on. Most of the time though, they don't really affect us.

One big difference about AK is that there aren't alot of tall buildings to topple over.
