And a ton of people, including myself, weren't able to make or receive calls on their cell phones.Yeah, it's much harder to feel them (or realize you are feeling them) when you are outside. I lived about 30-40 miles from SanFran at the time of the 1989 World Series quake. I was outside at football practice and didn't feel a thing. My parents were there to pick me up 5 minutes later and said the house shook for a good 20-30 seconds, knocked some pictures off the wall, etc.
Great first day of school for my girls!
