We were actually IN Sonoma county at that time, but neither Bigdog nor I are people who feel earthquakes. When we lived in San Francisco for five years we came to the conclusion that there are people who feel earthquakes and people who do not, and neither of us are earthquake feelers. Now, having lived in San Francisco for five years both of us also know how other people act when they feel earthquakes, and we did not see anybody react, so presume nobody around us felt it either. Let me think where we were at 12:20 - in line at Costco. Nope, no indications anybody there was feeling an earthquake.

I'm one of those who almost never feels earthquakes. The only three times I can clearly recall, the Northridge quake (and the exploding transformer right outside my bedroom window would certainly have woken me up if the quake hadn't,) there was one we felt in Vegas, and then a summer or two ago sitting right here watching big brother live feeds and my rolling chair moved right at the same time the houseguests reacted to it. Most of the time though I'm sitting there asking why everyone is freaking out, lol.

A snow storm is hitting the east coast this weekend, but I am happy because it is not hitting Boston. Washington DC is suppossed to get up to 2 feet.

Yeah, that east coast storm is supposed to drop 24 to 30 inches here with blowing winds. Blizzard like conditions tonight & tomorrow. All the schools around here did not open today and our office is closing at 1pm. Our area is just not equipped to handle this kind of weather efficiently. Once I get home, I'll have to stay there as the snow plows won't come my way for 3 or 4 days or more. Guess I'll be watching the Super Bowl by myself and spend my birthday by myself. Such is life..........

Rain, rain and more rain!! We have a little stream running through our front yard and it's rising by the minute - can see rapids right now. And I can hear it!! It'll probably overflow our driveway soon

Well, it has started snowing already but it's still light. Most of it will fall tonight according to all the reports I hear. Thanks for the B-day wishes. I've finally made it to 29

Ah in Eureka.. well OG would have had a better chance of feeling that one than Juju and I'd have no chance at all. ACK.. the rain just ramped up in intensity.. er.. nope, just a jet.. but I don't usually hear those, either.

Same here, Wardog. After a couple years of living in CA and seeing people race or wander around with stunned expressions on their faces, I came to recognize that meant we had just had an earthquake I didn't feel. One time we were on the way to work and stopped in to buy a birthday cake for a teammate of mine. So we were in a grocery store getting the cake from the bakery worker, and all of a sudden he started to look funny, and said, "whoa." And then another guy came running out from the back with the same expression on his face talking about the earthquake. Huh? Bigdog and I were three feet away and didn't feel a thing.

I usually only notice earthquakes if I see a chandelier or a hanging plant start shaking. When Loma Prieta struck, I had my baby monitor on because my three-month-old son was sleeping upstairs, and I heard through the monitor what I thought were footsteps. When I realized it was just an earthquake, I was really relieved!

It poured rain for a while but has stopped for now. LOL Juju, once I was at work for an earthquake and as usual didn't feel it. Took me a minute to figure out why everyone else had the "whoa" thing going on and I was the only one running towards the quickly closing emergency fire doors with the poor little old lady walking through them. I was mad at first cuz there were probably six people in the hallway at the time and I was the only one moving to make sure this woman didn't get knocked down and then realized they'd been reacting to the earthquake I hadn't felt. The only thing I had noticed was those doors slamming shut and the woman right there. And ack Merry, that'd have scared the crud out of me!

13 inches of heavy snow and we expect 3 to 5 inches more here in Pittsburgh. The heavy snow is very hard to shovel. Ack! Anybody with a shovel is invited to my house for a snow party.

Dogdoc, good luck w/ the storm and I hope you don't get too much more snow. It's windy where I am and, luckily, we have just a light dusting so far and I hope it stays that way. It's "funny' watching the news this morning. The weatherman was saying that 10 miles is making all the difference between getting nothing at all or getting over 6 inches. Thanks to Canada, they sent a high pressure system down to us to help push and keep the storm at bay.

You're welcome Grooch! Glad we could help out. It's sunny here. -6C or 21F. It's really quite nice. We didn't get the storm they were predicting at all. Maybe it stayed north in Detroit, Mi.

Stay safe with all of that snow! Steady rain, often blown sideways by the strong wind but no flooding by me. Some of the burn areas are having mudslides and problems.

We had a total of 21" of snow. The roads are still bad and most church services and Sunday activities (including my church's service) are cancelled.
