California folks - Earth Quake Question.
I'm out here in Palm Springs.... Just 20 miles from the epicenter. Today's quake was my first "big one"... and long lasting, but it wasn't violent at all. We had a really short one last year that was VERY violent.... Like god picked up our house and rattled it. This one today was more like the house was on a lake with waves.... it was a 'rolling' quake.
Anyway, it woke me up and I instantly looked at the pictures on my wall, and my celling fan, and they weren't swaying or shaking, so I just stayed put in bed...... was that a bad idea? Do these quakes ever start off in the rolling motion and then instantly turn violent? Should I have jumped under a table or next to an intererior wall even if it looked like I could ride it out in bed?
