58-1/2 years old and never felt a quake before. My computer monitor moved. I thought there was a 500 lb. person coming through my door or something was landing on my roof. Lasted for about 10-12 seconds. Scary for an old guy! GEEZE!

5.8 is a pretty decent sized quake. Glad everyone is okay!

The wife was at the computer and immediately noticed her chair shaking, here in Jersey. I didn't feel a thing.

She then said: &quot;That's the first earthquake I have ever experienced.&quot;

I replied: &quot;You mean our honeymoon doesn't count?&quot;

She was was only mildly amused. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

These things can be un-nerving especially the aftershocks. I live in southern California and they just installed signs on a street behind my house calling it a tsunami evacuation corroder. That scares me even more.

5.6 on the Colorado-New Mexico border last night also. I grew up in the high desert of California and we used to get them all the time. They are wierd, and you never get used to them!
