JeffMOD was in an earthquake.
So, while I was practicing using the GECK, (Fallout 3's level editor) Everything started shaking. Now, occasionally I do this involuntarily, but it wasn't just a twitch in my leg or something similar, it was... everything. The monitor, the desk, you name it. After it stopped, I saved, turned off the computer just to be safe, and went out to ask my mom if she felt it. Well, she didn't but my father did. I mentioned how it may have been an earthquake- after all, they're always happening, they just usually aren't at a magnitude that we can feel. A while later, my dad came in and told me that my grandmother (who lives next door in an attached house/apartment) received a phone call from someone in the town asking if she had felt it. The news tonight confirmed it again.
It wasn't as severe here as the article describes, but it is pretty cool to have experienced it.

Huh? I think you something there.
I've never ever experienced an earthquake of any magnitude. Not even when it was in the news that one had hit so far away but it was so terrible that it was felt here too. I keep wondering where the hell am I when those things happen.
You should have been playing Jenga
This epicenter produces small(perhaps max 4 on the Richter scale) earthquakes frequently- I never feel them because I'm on the other side of the mountains, north-west. But that's only about 30-40% of the country that is safe from these earthquakes...
Scientists say that this epicenter produces BIG earthquakes at an interval of 30-40 years. Like the one from 1977 that destroyed a lot of Bucharest...
2010-1977=33 years. Imminent...
Skals: I live nowhere near a tectonic plate - I live in Ontario, away from the edges of the continent.
