Nah no vertigo. Just a weird sensation knowing the ground is moving.It's not uncommon for some people to get hit with vertigo at the start of a quake. It happens to me all the time and I immediately know what's going to happen.
Both kinda accurate.
That happened to me when I felt my first one in California. I was like W T F? Oh, earthquake.It's not uncommon for some people to get hit with vertigo at the start of a quake. It happens to me all the time and I immediately know what's going to happen.
I never needed rice to enhance my smugness
Every time there is an earthquake I secretly hope it’s “the big one” so we can get that out of the way.
Yep, that was my biggest one. I was in SF CA for most of the 80's, caught a couple good ones, including that one. Oakland A's versus SF Giants, game three, fourth inning. The whole world was watching because of the Series, they interrupted it to show pictures of the Bay bridge collapsed over and over, which made my EC family freak out because they thought SF was in ruins and they couldn't get through on the phone
1989 Loma Prieta Quake. I was 12 at the time and our little league coach got some tix for the game after (can't remember if that was the make up or final game 4). Most popular accessory in the crowd were construction hard hats with either Giants or A's logos on the front

I think it measured out at 7.2. I was at my middle school football game at the time walking back to the huddle. About 10 miles from the epicenter. Can't remember if I felt or heard it first, but everyone knew immediately what was happening. I'll never forget looking at the eucalyptus trees lining the fields shake and bend to what seemed like a 45 degree angle at a time. You could sense the wave of energy roll through the grass field while every safety tempered glass window of the science wing shattered in succession. Absolute chaos afterwards. Kids and parents dispersed immedately in all directions. I just found a way home in classic 80s kid style. Ruptured water mains, downed fences, and some older homes imploded. Looked like a movie scene.
They are reminders that we are insignificant. Most of us walk around in our daily lives believing that we matter. Earthquakes are particularly good at exposing the truth, exposing our futility.
