Less than 5 miles from the Epicenter
This earthquake rocked....I haven't every had stuff jumping off the wall like this one....and I agree it was LOOOONG!!! I had time to think about just going back to sleep and then decided it was strong enough to get into the doorway....then had to brace myself so I could stay on my feet while the house started rolling!! This is my closest experience to an epicenter of an earthquake! COOL!! - ωiChi ωoman , posted 10/31/07

My First Time
It was my first earthquake so it deserves a higher review. It wasn't insane or anything but it certainly *was* interesting to go through. It left me all wobbly for a few minutes afterwards. ;0)

A long one
I was sitting in class and EVERYONE felt this one (usually it's just me that notices). And it lasted a good amount of time - I started to wonder if I should take shelter under my desk or something. - Mo-Les , posted 10/31/07

Its Been Done
There have been any number of earthquakes in the last decade or so that have been much more interesting than this one. This one just seemed to be a warmed over replay of what we have seen so many times before. I'm saving my praise and accolades for the "big one"
