Okay, did anyone feel this one?

[still_one]

1. probably an after shock

[Daphne08]

2. Maybe that's what woke me up.

I'm growing weary of these earthquakes here. (Am also a bit scared.)

[HeeBGBz]

3. There sure seems to be a continual lot of them

It would make me nervous, but then I've never been in an earthquake before.

[Baclava]

27. I have - when I lived in Alaska

We had a couple strong ones - strangest feeling I've ever felt- outside - ground rolling like a roller coaster...fuck that...I'll take hurricanes any day...

....also had a volcano blow while I was there...ash cloud covered everything...daylight gone for days... like dusk...maybe it was me - the Gods were pissed at something...

[EFerrari]

5. I woke up, too and didn't know why.

:(

[fed-up]

4. Didn't feel it, here's a link to US map of recent quakes

Funny, the big one off of Eureka was removed from the USGS Neveda/California map of recent eqs a few days ago (it is supposed to stay on the map for a week).

Here is a link to the US map which does include the three larger quakes off the northern CA coast.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/

Here is the link to (most) Cal/Neva quakes
http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm

I'm in Northern CA (northern Central Valley) and haven't felt any of the recent quakes as they are too far off the coast. Why do you think I moved away from SF just a year before Loma Prieta???
I grew up 1/2 mile from the San Andreas and my mother took me on a few tours of the faults in SF and Daly City. I remember a few of the houses that were slowly cracking apart due to fault creep in Daly City. They were finally condemned in the late 1970's I think.

Now I live in a nice safe one story home and only need to worry about large boulders rolling down the canyon wall at the back of my house if there is a large quake near here. :)

[evolvenow]

48. Welcome Fedup! Great post. The propaganda worries me more than the quakes.

In CA we have hundreds and hundred of earthquakes and now, as B*sh and the War Criminal Club are feeling the eyes of the world on all of their Murder That Clearly They Have Intended including 9/11, all of a sudden CNN is reporting earthquakes , 5 in one week, which is ssssssssssssuuuuchhh B*ll!! We have hundreds all of the time.

Why was that bigger one in Eureka removed from the map?

I felt the strangest aftershocks all day on Sunday. Living in So. and No. CA, my whole life, my birds and I feel what most people do not.

Something is up. Also lots of FEAR being generated by all of these extra reports about earthquakes and when is the BIG ONE coming. Specialist keep saying that these earthquakes are good, as they release pressure and can help prevent more damaging quakes.

Watch the DIstraction of all the Propaganda. Yes, we have quakes, but Hell we live on a planet that is rotating and hurtling through space and no one seems too freaked about about that:) It is amaing that anything seems to feel solid.

Seriously, their fascist installed Gropenator is getting booed away from every public event, DSM is gaining coverage in the CIA Infiltrated MSM, tens of thousands of innocents have died in a horrific illegal war, glorious Honorable Conyers and all of the brave intelligent people delivered hundreds of thousands of signatures and the photos of Abu are about to surface. They are losing ground because horror can only continue long term in secrecy....the TRUTH IS coming forth, and I cannot wait for the
day that those Murdered are sent to the Hague for killing so many in 9/11 and all of their illegal wars and sick, covert activities around the world for OIL and $$$$.

I believe, if the earthquakes are natural and not weaponized, that Mother Earth is trying to WAKE PEOPLE UP, to waht is important.
Thou Shall not Kill. It is time that we demand an end to violence and offer compassion and humanitarian actions whereever and whenever we can, as individuals, as a country, as a global family.

That said, keep water, food,and yes, pay attention to the animals and wear shoes.

6. Say there was a huge Californ-quake,how high would Bushproval go and

would California go red cuz of all the treemendous job Bush does in the aftermath,as seen by the great American sucker on their main stream media propaganda machine I mean?

[sattahipdeep]

11. It's certainly possible. 'Space Weapons'? (ISS)

MIHOP.

[shance]

28. One thing appears certain. They would go to any length for California.

California is first off the third largest economy in the world (?) It is also a state that they want more than anything.

Take a look at what how the Administration has infiltrated the workings and the government of California in the past five years.

The installation of Arnold Schwarzenegger through a manufactured, Republican funded recall and the elimination of Gray Davis as governor. Now they are rewriting the laws so they can redistrict and solidify their power grab in California. They got rid of Kevin Shelley who decertified the Diebold machines, and Schwarzenegger replaced him with Bruce McPherson who happens to have a man who is Diebold's attorney on the election "team"

And on another note, what indeed has brought Bush/Cheneys approval numbers up faster than anything? Disasters have worked in their favor, haven't they?

Nothing surprises me with these individuals anymore. When have they not gone to any length for power? I've seen and read too much.

[peacebuzzard]

7. Another??? Five since the 13th is it?

In California, that is. That Pacific rim is really rocking.

[lonestarnot]

45. Weather channel reported 11. 5 big ones and 6 lil ones.

[Baclava]

8. Aftershock...or beginning of death spiral?

[Trajan]

14. That is a fascinating map ...

It is obvious by the clustering of these recent quakes that some unique offshore geological feature is becoming active ... the localization of these events is uncanny ....

[Kraklen]

30. Yes, it's really bizarre.

I mean, the only thing out there is the fault between the Juan de Fuca plate and the Pacific plate. Nothing at all involving geological activity.

[lonestarnot]

46. I count 16 here?

[Renew Deal]

9. How many electoral votes will California have

if it falls into the ocean?

[TahitiNut]

10. How many red-staters would starve ...

... if the economic and agricultural powerhouse that's California has an interruption in the welfare it pumps into the US economy? :shrug: :eyes:

[sattahipdeep]

12. Depopulate the planet?

If I were to sum up the problem facing mankind right now, I would
use one word: overpopulation. Planet Earth before the oil age had
a carrying capacity of roughly 2 billion people. There are 10 calories
of hydrocarbon energy in every calorie of food consumed on the planet.
You take away the oil and natural gas, you take away the food. When we
hit our peak, we run into a situation called population overshoot. We see
the mathematical shortfalls, and now the population cannot sustain itself
and we reach a point of collapse. I do not have any plan, myself, to
depopulate the planet. But what terrifies me is that I'm certain that
Dick Cheney, the Rockefellers, the Bushes, the economic elite, do have
a plan to depopulate the planet.

http://www.eugeneweekly.com/2005/05/26/news.html#news1

It's very clear that the U.S. government, under the control of Vice
President Richard Cheney, had scheduled five conflicting war games
for the morning of Sept. 11, which moved a substantial number of
the U.S. fighter response forces out of the region so that they could
not respond. The so-called hijackers were, in effect, agents working
for the U.S. government. Al Qaeda had been co-opted to perpetrate the
attack, which then gave the U.S. government the pretext for all the
military adventurism and occupation that has taken place since.

13. Excellent post and observation-POPULATION CONTROL & MOTHER OF ALL QUAKES

I've been thinking too for awhile now that the population size of this country is under attack...it explains alot about the motivations behind the BFEEs actions.

Also...this quake thing is really worrisome and frightening...how many small quakes will it take to trigger the MOTHER of all quakes? And how evil and cunning of the BFEE that-if they are guilty of engineering these quakes-they can forever say it's was a "natural disaster" :scared: :tinfoilhat:

[i have issues]

17. This is making really nervous...

Having gone through the Northridge quake in '94 (terrifying) and the San Simeon quake ten years later, (super terrifying) I feel like a pro. This is some weird activity. Take a look at this map and tell me the Pacific plate isn't taking a stroll...http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

[earth mom]

18. I find it odd too because I'm a former lifetime Southern Californian

who lived there up until 5-6 years ago. This kind of quake action NEVER EVER occurred before! I was south of the Northridge quake and it didn't affect me as it did other people I knew. In the 36 or so years I lived in Southern California larger quakes were FEW and FAR BETWEEN!!! :tinfoilhat: :scared:

[fed-up]

25. Just had a 6.1 off coast of Japan

Thanks for the link to the IRIS map, had never seen it as I guess I must have been too busy w/politics lately. Lo and behold the page refreshed itself and a new major quake popped onto the map.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

40. Seems like a lot of activity over the past two weeks....could these....

...be continued aftershocks from the big 9.0 tsunami quake off Idonesia?

[Zomby Woof]

24. yeesh

[Melynn]

26. If I remember the election map, the blue counties in California

are on the coast in the earthquake zone.

Seems too coincidental that as Bush's poll numbers drop and his administration is on the verge of being impeached because of the DSM that a series of earthquakes are happening in the most progressive area of America.

Sort of like 9/11 happening just before the media was going to expose voter fraud in the Florida 2000 presidential election.

[Mz Pip]

23. Bingo!

The Blue state practically support the Red states in all the federal tax dollars we pay out.

No wonder the Red states love Bush. He really is like Robin Hood to them.

Being the victim of a big earthquake would be about the only way California could recoup any of the federal tax dollars we've been sending to Washington. I'd rather send them the money than have an earthquake, though.

15. This is like state championship eathquake ping pong,

First Northern California then us in Southern California. Then return serve. God Forbid, if there is a 'netball' in Central Cal. The referee is the mighty San Anedreas...

[Zomby Woof]

16. It's an aftershock

Quite normal after having one much larger last week. Very normal.

[WillyT]

20. Crap !!! - I'm About To Have Ocean-Front Property !!!

Not likin this trend...

:scared:

[CountAllVotes]

21. Hmmmm ....

I found myself awake at 1:45 a.m. last night. Perhaps I felt that quake. I'm not far away from Eureka. Am I concerned? Not really, I rather think it is another aftershock.

There tends to be earthquakes a plenty living behind the RedWood Curtain as we call it here. There were in fact two 7+ magnitude quakes in one night in 1992 and they were a lot more intense than the 7.4 that hit the other day.

Whole lotta shakin going on here in northern California. Nothing new to this old native of this state.

:kick:

[mike_c]

22. those are all offshore of where I live....

A whole cluster of big quakes. Wow, take a look at the USGS earthqake map off the coast of CA west of Eureka! But no, I didn't feel any of them.

29. Small earthquake hits western Kentucky

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/nation/stories/062005dnbusquake.2a3239a6.html

A small earthquake centered in western Kentucky rattled residents across parts of four states Monday morning but no damage was reported.

“It moved the floor,” said Marie Hart, a dispatcher for Kentucky State Police in nearby Mayfield. “It was like standing on water.”

The 3.9 magnitude quake centered near Clinton hit at 8:21 a.m. ET and was felt in western Kentucky, southeast Missouri, southern Illinois and northwest Tennessee, said John Minch, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colo.

Minch said he wasn't sure whether the quake originated from the New Madrid Fault, which runs through western Kentucky.

[Sugarbleus]

31. Hmm, a biggie offshore Eureka/Crescent City w/ a minor one near

Santa Rosa. Before that a middle sized on in Southern Cali., I wonder if the faults are just letting off pressure. If not, perhaps MIDDLE Calif is in for the Big Bang of Mother Earth next; I would feel that one for sure. Lived through the Loma Prieta in '89, very near ground zero..

Someone said Japan just had one of good size; Chile had a shaker just a week or so ago also. Looks like the "Ring of Fire" is gettin' busy...

Did someone say Kentucky had a minor shake too? I keep hearing about the New Madras fault there some place near the big rivers..saying it is suppose to give way big time soon. We'er just rockin' and rollin' in America!!!

Keep your fresh water and emergency gear nearby..maybe in the car or outside of your house in a safe location.

Good luck all...

[HeeBGBz]

33. Two small quakes in Kentucky in the last 24 hours

I think they ended up 2.9 and 3.6

[icymist]

34. Keep your shoes tied to your bed somewhere.

Lots of injuries from stepping on broken glass.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

41. If you can find your bed later, you'll be okay! :-)

[icymist]

42. I meant while you sleep! ;)

[Sugarbleus]

52. Good point! ;o) n/t

[cliss]

39. I'm in Portland. That seismic activity outside

Eureka is close....too close for comfort. After I read this thread, I went to the grocery store and bought more bottled water. Over the next week, I'm going to stock up on water, make sure we have flashlights, batteries and a working radio.

I think there are other things you can do.

Now, I have heard that dogs will start howling or barking if there is an imminent earthquake. I've also heard that birds will stop chirping.

I'm going to sleep with one eye open.....

[Sugarbleus]

53. Good move on your part cliss...

After Loma Prieta we started an emergency kit (now one can buy them). It's been several years since then. It's time for us to "rework" the kit.

They have radios that wind up so ya don't have to keep batteries for at least one item. We had a battery operated TV..that was cool but not necessary. Our garage didn't fall down so we used the barbecue grill to heat water and other stuff. Since the water mains were shut down, we used a five gallon powdered soap bucket as a porta potty--with a board across it and pinesol for the water/odor. O8)

We purchased a plastic bin thingy and kept batteries, radio, flash light, money, toilet paper, feminine napkins (for bandages or?) just in case. We had a gas pipe tool to turn off gas. We kept our water in a five gallon water container with a spout..outside the dwelling. One can use clorox or buy chlorine tablets to detox the water. We've also purchased a battery powered Aero bed and own a tent. Some folks opted for generators.

There are books on the market to help people put together an emergency kit.

Remember; Stick frame houses are safer than brick and mortar..stay away from chimneys.

Hang on everyone; you can make it. Peace from Calif :hi:

[cliss]

54. Thanks, Sugar.

I've written down everything on your list. That will be my "Must-do" list of things to do this week.

[sakabatou]

32. Nope, didn't feel it

[HeeBGBz]

35. There looks to be some activity tonight

Notice the earlier quake at 7:20 this am and the considerable activity around 7 pm this evening.

I watch and wonder.

Edited to say: I misplaced this post. I believe I was aiming my reply for the post above the post where I posted.

[sakabatou]

37. I guess Palo Alto didn't get a damn thing

[Ayesha]

47. I just felt...

a little rattle here in LA and my most sensitive dog looked a bit nervous. My other sensitive dog has been VERY nervous this week, growling at people though she's normally friendly with most folks, but I attribute that to stress in the family. None of my 3 are howling, barking, or acting up any more than usual at this moment, but still, I wonder...

[HeeBGBz]

49. Hey I called this one correctly!

The activity between 7 and 8 pm WAS a quake.

I know for those of you on the West Coast, this seems like piddly shit, but for a no rumbly area, there seems to be an increase in activity in the Central US.

While it has not been reported it also looks like there might have been another small rumble around 8 this am.

[BadGimp]

36. Sphincter Factor 8.1

[kineneb]

38. Yawn. 5.0, so what?

Ok, I am a bit blase about it, but having been through Loma Prieta in the Bay Area, 5.0 is really not much. Remember it is a logarithmic scale. And so I live next to a lake that was a volcanic crater, which has a volcano next to it. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

[davidinalameda]

50. nope

like I said, unless it knocks me out of bed, I don't care about these piddling little ones

[GRLMGC]

51. It was an aftershock

They happen. For God's sake, we still have aftershocks from the Northridge quake. Not to mention that earthquakes happen everyday and the reason they are being covered like crazy is because the media likes to have a story (preferably one that doesn't make the Bushies look bad :cough: DSM :cough:. Clusters of earthquakes are not unheard of.

[burrowowl]

55. Anybody know if the

New Madrid area is ripe and with present knowledge can it be known it is ripe?

[anotherdrew]

56. NORTH AMERICA, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND ROLL!?!?!

I can't hear you....
