I've been in 7.5 earthquake before and it was disorientingly unpleasant. Luckily nothing fell on me or family and I would rather not live anything higher than a 5 anytime anywhere!
@Chris Trottier Glad you're okay! People had such different experiences across the city! I heard it more than felt it in East Van. A bunch of friends said there was violent shaking. A friend who was downtown had no idea that anything had happened at all.

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •So that earthquake was only 5.1 on the Richter scale.
Which is wild because I felt that one for quite awhile.
If that’s only 5.1, I don’t want to be here when it hits an 8 on the Richter scale.

I wonder if smaller earthquakes nearby are a sign that "the big one" in Seattle will happen soon.
