8. That surprises me a bit
It was on the Sargent Fault, which runs into the San Andreas.

It was shallow, though — only 1.9 miles.

4. Yeah
Edited on Wed Nov-29-06 04:27 PM by Oeditpus Rex
It was a decent little shake. Lasted longer than most. I'm guessing in the mid-3s.

Edit: I was off a bit. 4.0.

Click the big red square: http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/121-37.htm

(It'll turn blue in an hour.)

21. I feel the earth move
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh baby When I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh darling I cant stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh darling When you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that, My emotions
Are something I just cant tame
Ive just got to have you baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down

I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
tumbling down, tumbling down...
