Yeah I'm fine. 5.6 is nuttin'.

I'm a seasoned Californian. When an earthquake hits we all get excited and try to guess at how big it was. I was standing outside talking with a co-worker and I thought I was getting dizzy because I was rocking back and forth. It was a decent slow rolling quake, but nothing to be scared about. Not big enough to do any damage.

I always find it funny how people from the rest of the country would rather live where there are hurricanes because "There is time to prepare" even though way more damage is done. Earthquakes come and go so fast and usually do no damage. I'll take earthquakes any day over hurricanes or tornadoes.
