Heh, just looked up the SC quakes. 3.2??? C'mon! Some vindaloo expulsions can register more than that. 
Here's a few "REAL" quakes I was WAY too close to!
Sylmar - 1971 - 6.6 (visiting an Aunt - felt like a bizarre roller-coaster)
Superstition Hills - 1987 - 6.6 (Staying with a friend after playing in a dart event the prior weekend - had a plaque come off the wall and graze my head before scoring a direct hit on my shoulder)
Landers - 1992 - 7.3 (On vacation near Big Bear - kind of smooth and the entire metal rail along the lodge units went BRANNNNNNNNGGGG!!! and woke everyone up)
Big Bear - 1992 - 6.5 (Same day as Landers so still there - this was, by far, the scariest for me - I was just starting to doze off back to sleep when this one hit with a big thud then kept getting worse and worse. Even my room back in Orange County was trashed when I got home! Everything on two opposing sides of the room had been tossed into the middle of the floor...)
Northridge - 1994 - 6.7 (I was staying at my friend's place on Sepulveda near that famous Galleria for the weekend and was up early so I could drive home when this stupid woven art piece "jumped" off the wall, we stared at it for half-a-second wondering "what the...", then all hell broke loose - I ended up surfing the couch while my friend peed himself in a doorway - half the bulbs in his chandelier broke by swinging into the ceiling - I had to take a very long way home to OC!)
Moral of the story - never ever invite craigb to stay in your home.
They're supposed to invite me first? Hmm... Never knew that!
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!
