October 30th 5.6 Earthquake Video in San Jose, California

I was in my apartment on the 12th floor when I felt the whole room shake like crazy. I got my camera out at took some footage. It's a little hard to tell everything is shaking, you can see some of the window shades and hear the walls shaking.

Not a very bright idea to be wandering all around the building. Just stay in one spot !

[thisisgabe]

@SINEKT Unless I'm trying to get out.

AN THEN after they were done cursing me and went back 2 what they were doing and me feeling like an ass, the jolt came and the earthquake shook, this has happent 2 or 3 times in my life, so i alwayz thought i had a gift LOL until i "Wikipedia'd" Seismic Waves, then it all came clear i had no gift and there was a simple xplanation 4 why i perceived a quake seemingly B-4 it happend... . .P-Waves my friend :) ok hope that helps

Actually as nerdy as it may seem theres a simple xplanation for this. i dont know bout the morning part, but before an earthquake animals may perceive an earthquake when it first starts.. .B-4 we feel a jolt or ground motion earthquakes have different parts, the first is P-waves (Primary waves) & animals r more sensitive 2 these vibrations, we feel S-waves (surface waves) that R the destructive jolts we feel, tho ive felt p-waves B-4 & yelled "EARTHQUAKE" & ERY-1 WAS LIKE "ASSHOLE, JERK...
