I didn't feel it but my bird woke me up when he did .

[fasterlaster]

Well this is disappointing news. The wife told me it felt like the earth was rockin', I guess it was just the earthquake and not my extra effort

[JohnEffinK]

Definately felt it and wondered if that is what is was.

God was pissed off at me for not riding to work yesterday

[madvlad]

Wow thats surprising

[grim]

WTF this is news to me.. neither me or my kid woke up!

People making todo about nothing...LOL There are earthquakes thousands of times a year in this area...just so small you don't typically feel them. 5.3 or whatever channel is reporting...LOL seems to depend on station is nothing at all.

I was in bed, and did not feel shit. Nor would I care if I did.

yep. well maybe not "thousands". But quite a few anyway.

Imagine the quakes it took to form those mountains outside the window. Don't forget that at their highest, they were twice as tall as they stand today.

Well its sort of a big deal to me since i've NEVER experienced anything like that. I can deal with hurricaines all day long coming from Louisiana but the ground moving ? WTF!

Didn't feel squat, but some of the comments on the news sites this morning are amusing:

KKTV:
"...my vanity table started shaking, by corner of the wall, jumped up thought a squirrel had come in."

"...thought I was going crazy last nite my bed was shaking I was about to go pound on my nieghbors door and ask them to stop walking so hard."

"Drove 2 days from Louisiana to visit Colorado and know people get excited when I show up but this is ridiculous. "

"Sleeping with clothes on tonight."

Gazette:
"I couldn't figure out why my bed was shaking. Chalked it up to the neighbors in the apartment below me having some energetic fun."

"I just assumed It was a flashback to my indiscretions in the 70's."

I remember a 5.3. I was sitting on the can on 7th Ave near Capitola Rd. and it sounded like a train was coming until the crack hit me. I never lost a beat.

I was in Felton for the Loma Prieta quake, inside Ted's Market before it was New Leaf. I made my way down Hwy 9 just before it was closed for major repairs that took forever.

Crazy, I grew up at 17th Ave. and Portola.

Sunny Cove. Good times on that beach!

I lived in Mexico City when they had a pretty good size quake...so 5.3 is not all that much. So yeah I am too cool for a CO little shaking...LOL Scary part about Mexico is, do you trust the building quality!!!!

Then again I expect people to panic over the little things. Look at the 'Beaver Creek Fire' people were all going ape shit when no homes were in danger, at least it was a good watch from my deck...LOL

You have a narrow view of what makes interesting news. Not everyone has the same life experiences. If you were a geologist, this would be major news.

Try to see the big picture sometime.

[rforsythe]

Given the dry conditions in the mountains, I'd expect them to go ape shit over that. The Hayman fire wasn't threatening any homes for a time either, but you only need to drive a half hour out of town to see where that ended up.

I took a geology class for fun, actually it was really fun. I just don't think this is BREAKING news. But from a geologist stand point it would be interesting.
