I live in Texas, andI did not feel a thing !! But a 5.9 is not a small quake. I was in San Franciso in 1988 when they had a 5.2 centered around San Jose, CA. I was at a reception on the 32nd floor of the St. Francis Hotel on Union Square when things started to shake. Nobody paniced, but we sure left the building in a hurry..:grin:
Reports were that some windows were broken, and an elderly lady was trampled to death in a grocery store when can goods started falling off the shelves and people headed for the exits.
