Big shaker here in the I. E.

[ucrdem]

Nothing fell but dayum. 3-4 at least.

1. Out here on the coast it was unusual -- no shake, no jolt, just gentle movement. . .

almost imperceptible. Kept waiting for something more but nada; just any items hung up swaying gently back & forth.

Now there's a palpable feeling of incompleteness, a sense of foreboding that "the other shoe" is about to drop.

Ah, California. Gotta love it.

2. Long slow buildup then some heavy rocking.

Wake me from a sound sleep.

5. You realize that for most people

I. E. could easily stand for "Idiot Enclave", Right? If you are going to post information of geographic interest it would be helpful to identify the location...(IE:Southern California, Northern Rockies, etc. If adding a city name, then also add the state-there are in fact more than one Portland.... ).

6. Well, the Inland Empire part of San Diego County loves them some Duncan Hunter...

He and his son seem to always win by 2/3rd majority.
So Idiot Enclave may not be too far off the mark in some of that area...

Granted, there's some really nice, laid back little artistic and liberal enclaves in the foot-hills, Imperial Valley and north-east San Diego county out by Julian, Warner Springs and Palomar - but there's a lot more wanna-be red-neck/Hell's Angels/tweeker supremacist enclaves in those areas.

On edit - slept right through it. But we're down here in the Webster/Emerald Hills area, and the topography might have had a lot of mitigating effect on the shock waves, especially if it was a roller.
