I didn't want to hi-jack @Stk004s thread, so I thought it best to start one.  Has anyone on the left coast "personally" had a game stoppage due to earthquakes?  I was stationed in CA for a couple of the larger ones in the early 90s (Northridge '94 & Landers '92).  ok, it's a slow day at work...............

Earthquakes are not like TV 99.999999% of the time. Just a little rock and roll, then finish the rest of your day. Like a loud fart, but with more destructive potential.

I cant even remember the last earthquake we had that I felt.

Go ahead and jinx it, Stevie boy.  The last big one I can remember happened about 230 in the morning. Scared me very much to see my house rocking.  7.1.  Every time the AC turned on I would jump because there was always a jolt on the windows at work.

I grew up in California, and experienced a lot of earthquakes. Funny thing was, just about every one of them happened in the middle of the night. 

I too, was there for the '94 Northridge quake. I was in a am/pm mini market and gas station in Canyon Country just a couple of miles from where the I-5 and Hwy 14 meet. That was where it collapsed, tragically taking the life of CHP officer Clarence Wayne Dean, for whom the interchange is now named after.
