1. Been Wondering When The "Dual" Scenario Would Begin n/t

[SammyBlue]

24. Add a Hurricane, a major Earthquake and another Terrorist attack

And Bush will have his second "Trifecta." Sickening if it does come to pass, since he got his first "Trifecta" on a massive amounts of American misery.

I don't know how to post pictures, but I have one of him as a vampire. . .I believe it will fit!

[The Backlash Cometh]

47. And the most amazing thing is that all 3 were predicted by FEMA in 2001.

[Stephanie]

2. I don't understand the numbers

What happened? Where is it?

[Beaverhausen]

12. magnitude,date, time, longitude, latitude, depth , location

[QuettaKid]

3. wait a sec....

is this ANASTASIA beaverhausen!!?!???

[karlrschneider]

4. Just a 4, they get those all the time.

...

[Beaverhausen]

10. the 4.9 was felt here in Burbank

and that's really a whole lot of 4s.

If you click the link and see the list yes, we get tons all day but that seemed like a pretty good cluster of moderate sized shakes.

[onecent]

5. Where is Mettler, Ca? n/t Family in San Fran & LA

[LeftyMom]

Where I-5 and I-99 come together South of Bakersfield

I had to look it up on Yahoo maps.

[klebean]

16. looks about 15 south of Bakersfield

I felt the tremors here in los feliz/silverlake are (10 min north of downtown LA)

[VTMechEngr]

6. Thats not bad. Virginia Gets those in the mountains.

Its the 5 and up thats a concern.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Yes but smaller quakes sometimes indicate somethign bigger is coming,

don't they?

[silverweb]

13. Maybe sometimes.

Smaller quakes also sometimes relieve stress along a fault line so something bigger does not come. Scientists haven't exactly figured out how to tell one situation from the other yet.

[Beaverhausen]

18. I hope that is what is happening today

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. True

[mitchtv]

17. last week we had a swarm in the Salton Sea area

around the Imperial/SanDiego border. no big Deal; Mammoth Lake has them constantly.

[silverweb]

8. Mettler, CA

At the time of the 2000 census, population 157. A moderate quake in a small town out in the middle of almost nowhere (Bakersfield) in earthquake-prone California.

Why is this a "God help us!" situation?

:shrug:

[SodoffBush]

9. Bakersfield area

Watch our "Master of Disaster" chimp go 3 for 3 as per Clinton's FEMA.

[Mr_Spock]

11. Been a post like this with tsunami, Katrina & every other disaster

Kinda funny actually. An earthquake that is only a 4? C'mon! :D

[Lex]

14. The hysterics are a little tiring after a while, aren't they? nt

[ClintonTyree]

31. No, it's the END TIMES.......

run for your life, the sky really IS falling! The almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster is PISSED and we're all going to be touched by his noodly appendage. This is it, the BIG ONE!



The midget will be the only one saved from his wrath. Oh, and a few trees.

[Lex]

48. Hahahahaha!

:rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

15. the way things are going we in CA are kinda worried about the big one

well, at least I am!!!

We don't actually "feel" the quakes that often so it did shake me up to feel this one. and I was in my car...I have NEVER felt one in my car before.

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. The second one was a 4.9

That's nothin' to sneeze at. Might knock stuff off shelves. Even minor structural damage is highly unlikely, though.

I live about 12 miles from the San Andreas Fault and about three from the Calaveras, and hurricanes and tornadoes scare me. Quakes that do any damage at all happen maybe once every 10 years.

[garybeck]

19. earthquakes are more common on the full and new moon

just had a full moon 3 days ago...

[moobu2]

20. graphic

[Syncronaut Seven]

21. It's nothing, small fault, fairly shallow depth.

It is interesting to note it's not the fault that runs under Santa Barbra which is almost always crackling.

I'm more worried about Seattle Wa and Victoria BC right now.

According to USGS We're (portland, OR) are at the south end of this right now:

LATEST UPDATE ON 2005 SILENT EARTHQUAKE AND DEEP TREMOR

Slow earthquakes affecting southern British Columbia and northern Washington have been occurring every 14 months or so over the last 10 years. The PNSN has deployed additional seismometers to record expected tremor events to gain insight into the process and into the stresses that eventually will lead to the region's next major earthquake.

A slow earthquake was expected to occur sometime between August and October, 2005.
It began on September 6, 2005

22. The more small ones you have, the smaller the "big one" will be

Those 3- and 4-magnitude jobbies are releasing the potential energy in smaller doses, gradually. This is more of a "Thank God" than a "God help us" situation, for the theistically inclined.

[B Calm]

23. They say a big one is coming to the midwest and it will be so

powerful that it will drain the Great Lakes into the Gulf of Mexico..

[Beaverhausen]

25. your post and your user name don't go together!!!

[newspeak]

35. I lived near Eureka

we'd get earthquakes all of the time. At night, when there was a tremor, I'd be half asleep, sit up in bed and go "that was a 4.3 or that was 5.0" then fall back to sleep. We moved a couple of months before the big earthquake that hit Ferndale, Scotia, Petrolia. I believe Ferndale was having their Basque festival where they close off the streets and celebrate. I had friends whose Victorian homes slid off of their foundations--and the aftershocks were pretty big too.

[CountAllVotes]

44. yes I remember that!

that was in 1992 right? Two 7.0+'s in the dead of the night.

I slept through them too ... was in the Loma Prieta as well.

[Zynx]

38. I rather doubt the part about the lakes draining, but it would be terrible

It would tens of thousands and do hundreds of billions in damage.

[B Calm]

42. Edgar Cayce predicted the Great Lakes will drain into the

Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi River.

26. lots of small quakes no real reason to worry

However .............

Check this out!

:wtf: is this!?!

map 2.0Q 2005/09/21 15:34:26 40.744N 122.314W 3.3 1 km ( 0 mi) SSE of Quarry near Mountain Gate (Shasta Res.), CA(Probable quarry explosion)

what is a quarry explosion - and near the sacred Mt. Shasta! Yikes!

Does anyone know what this is? I've never heard of such a thing!

on edit: Shasta Res. is a huge watershed and the cleanest watershed IN THE WORLD. EXPLOSION? :wtf: again!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[Beaverhausen]

28. I haven't ever seen that either

could it have triggered the quakes?

[CountAllVotes]

32. Shasta is about 800 miles north of where these quakes were

The main shock was a 4 followed by a 4.9 and they've declined into 3's so don't worry.

I am far more worried about the quarry explosion!

Yikes again!

I don't know that could case a quake that far south. Possibly ... I don't know.

:kick:

[caligirl]

36. I'm a half mile east of the Hayward fault, on solid bedrock. I felt

my table trimmer about the time these earthquakes happened and went to the earthquake site to see if something happened, nothing posted then. Now its up and I have to wonder if b I felt it. Twice to. Even looked at my hanging lights to see if they were moving. Southern Alameda County here. Weird.

[CountAllVotes]

40. that could well be the Hayward fault my friend

They've been predicting for years that that sucker was gonna blow and blow hard it would. The last time it went off, my father was in the front yard and the lawn he described as like looking like ocean waves. That was c. 1960. It's been mightily silent since.

Sometimes it takes awhile before they update this ongoing records of quakes in Calif. and Nevada.

Northing up north here in Crescent City. I'm on the San Andreas and there are two other faults south of here out at sea where a triple plate hits off the coast into the sea. There is a history of huge quakes from there and also old Indian "stories" of a huge flood that went all the way to Shasta and all of the animals ran to Shasta to the top to escape the floods.

No one will verify this of course.

White man killed all the Indians almost and there are few records but the land tells the story of a huge tsunami hitting the coast of California, when - my guess about 500 years ago or perhaps even less. There were no people here but Indians until about 1835 or so.


Sad yes and true.

49. Quarry near Natividad, CA(Probable quarry explosion) 1.4Q

map 1.4Q 2005/09/22 13:19:22 36.748N 121.596W 0.0 0 km ( 0 mi) NW of Quarry near Natividad, CA(Probable quarry explosion)

Kinda like Corpus Cristi = body of Christ!

Maybe this is what you felt!

[CountAllVotes]

46. Did anyone see that on the map I posted?

About the quarry explosion at Shasta Res.? It is now GONE from the map, gone ... gone ... gone ... :wtf: :tinfoilhat:

Do not want US to know something.

There are no mines near Shasta that I am aware of. An avalanche perhaps? ?

Gone now - see for yourself.

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/119-35.html

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Above-ground mining operation

There's a quarry about 20 miles from here. Every so often they'll blow somethin' up and it'll register on the scale. Nothin' to worry about.

[CountAllVotes]

37. where are you located - near Shasta?

I'm west of where you are on the San Andreas fault.

Nothing happening here luckily at the moment that is!

[katty]

39. Grew up/live in LA--small quakes happen EVERY day

[xxqqqzme]

30. been half joking - half dreading it

but w/ Rita on the way can an earthquake B far behind? Been going through the earthquake stash & replacing outdated stuff - been fooling around w/ Mother Nature way toooo long.

[CountAllVotes]

34. I'm an old quake survivor

from the old days ... I've been in hundreds of quakes over 7.0 a - 3 of them.

Quakes don't worry me near as much as a quarry explosion near a sacred mountain. That is a sign! To ignore it you are a fool.

Wow, this might be the end you guys. I truly believe it.

:scared:

How will I die I wonder now. Hmmm ...

CountAllVotes

[Modem Butterfly]

41. Those aren't anything to be worried about

In fact, it's a good sign. The geologic tension is being released rather than stored up for the big one. People can't even feel anything that slight.

[CountAllVotes]

43. yes that is one theory

one theory yes.

However ... there was a quake over 7.0 one night here where I am now and another hit that same night over 7.0 - barely made the news - too remote and rural - low population - no jobs, no high rise buildings, dead economy ...

So, WHO CARES!!!!!!!!! HAHAAAAA~!!!! :sarcasm:

:puke:

Sad but true story and that was in the year 1992 if my memory serves me right.

:kick:

[Booster]

45. I felt it, but it just rolled and last maybe 5 seconds here. We get

those a lot but they're still unnerving; you find yourself getting in the dart and run position.
