Re: Earthquake Shakes Vehicles off Highway
We have earthquakes frequently. Live fairly close to the San Andres fault. Back in 79 we had a 6.5. It hit so hard that you couldn't stand up. . It was pretty cool

Re: Earthquake Shakes Vehicles off Highway
We've had two aftershocks in my area and everyone in a car when it happened, including myself but I wasn't in a car the first time so I felt it then. ..but they were small aftershocks not a big thing.

As to whether you notice while in a car, it depends on how strong the quake is. But when we had a 7.1 here in '89, I talked to people who were on the highway at the time and they said it was like driving on really bad shocks (bouncing) and everyone on the freeway stopped like "WTF?" |

Not as uncommon as one might think. I survived the World Series earthquake in 1989 (officially known as the Loma Prieta quake. E-ticket ride, let me tell you!). Many people who were in their cars when that went said it felt like they threw a rod or something. Fortunately, I was parked and rode it like a surfer.
