QUAKE?

[King Of Paperboys]

Did you feel it? So Cal?

[slackmaster]

1. Big time in San Diego - Felt like it was nearby

Watch this link for updates:

http://www.data.scec.org/recenteqs.html

Gotta check my turtle tank, gas lines, etc.

[frylock]

2. yep..

was just gonna post. WOW!!!

[nini]

15. you ready?

:-)

[King Of Paperboys]

3. OK, wasn't just me....

That was a BIG move, but it was only once or twice... lot like a real quake!

Scared the fuck outta me! I thought I was falling over!

[AlCzervik]

11. That was a 4.5 have you felt any aftershocks yet?

We had one up here in northern cali about 3 weeks ago, 3.5, didnt feel it. About 6 months ago i went outside to my deck, clear day, no rain no wind and the water in my pool was sloching over the sides, thats the only way i knew we had an earthquake.

[Pithlet]

4. Oh no

I hope everyone in SoCal is okay.

[villager]

5. didn't feel it here in L.A...

but I certainly hope the San Diego folks are okay...

[slackmaster]

13. All seems OK here

No obvious gas leaks.

120-gallon aqua-terrarium still upright, no sign of leakage.

Cuckoo clock weights swinging.

Cat not very mad.

Lava Lamp didn't fall down.

That was definitely an earthquake. I felt some very sharp movement, strongest in years. Lots of vertical component, then a little horizontal shaking. Everything feels quivery, either aftershocks or psychological effects.

Damn, I hope nobody got hurt. It would really suck to be in the wrong place when one of those hits. I keep a bunch of emergency food, water, etc. on hand in case society is disrupted.

[King Of Paperboys]

23. Yeah, slack,

Couldn't have been TOO bad... my cats never got off the pillow.

So much for my Early Warning System.

[slackmaster]

61. Cats are good only for letting you know when to feed them

The strongest reaction to a quake I've ever seen from a feline was during the Landers earthquake in 1992. The family cat was sleeping with me. She got up on my chest and said "MEOW!" as if to tell me to stop shaking the bed.

[Lucky Luciano]

8. I am in Socal (Los Angeles)

I felt nothing - nada...I never feel them...only once...it was weird. I had just gotten to my car and then I slammed my car door shut and my car shook hard for a second on the very instant the door shut. I was feeling like my trips to the gym were doing something! LOL, but it was just a one second 4.5 quake and the only one I have ever felt since being here in 1996.

6. Be safe, everyone n/m

9. hope everyone's OK

we haven't had a quake up north in awhile, and I expect one soon. Stay safe, all.

[thebeaglehaslanded]

10. Didn't feel anything here in Santa Barbara.

Hope everyone is OK.

[King Of Paperboys]

12. Doesn't seem to be major.

Floyd's kid is on MSNBC now, he's not mentioning it. But it was a BIG jolt. I won't be surprised if we get a bigger one later.

My chair moved a few inches. I live next to a highway, so I am sensetive to minor movements. This was HUGE.

[catzies]

14. Felt it.

4.7 out in the high desert. I'm on the coast.

[Merrick]

16. Felt it at work in Irvine - not too strong - ass remained firmly on chair

[nini]

17. didn't feel it up here by LAX

I'm up on the 6th floor and we didnt' move a bit.

[frylock]

20. we got our ass kicked down here!!

it was quite a jolt. I don't know how y'all missed it if the epicentre was Lancaster?

[nini]

25. it was Lancaster?

and you felt it?

weird.. maybe a sign of what will happen later tonight :evilgrin:

[frylock]

26. good or bad?

:scared:

[nini]

28. well, I'm still hoping,

but won't be surprised either way.


Hell, I'm ready.. I'm not taking my Laker stuff down for months :D

[frylock]

41. well, we aren't posting from the ocean..

so that's encouraging! I'll take it as a positive sign!

gotta run!! :hi:

[nini]

catch ya later

g

:hi:

[LWolf]

64. It wasn't lancaster.

It was off the coast of San Diego. Nothing at all up here in the Antelope Valley.

[frylock]

18. updated -

Bleachers7's source was on the ball.

[King Of Paperboys]

19. Felt it fine here.

I'm on the second floor, and on the beach... the building "rolled," if you know what that means. If you've never been in a quake, I can't explain.

[slackmaster]

27. That makes more sense to me than Lancaster area

I tell you it felt really close by in San Diego.

[indigobusiness]

22. 4.7 maps....click here link if you felt it. UPDATE #2 off Baja 5+

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/

#2 Quake...off Baja 5+

[Beaverhausen]

37. try this page

it shows both quakes

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/Maps/US10/27.37.-125.-115.html

[maveric]

24. I was driving and didnt feel it.

I always either sleep through them of I'm on the road and cant feel it.
I think that quakes are kinda cool.

[nini]

31. they're are kinda cool.. but then I've never been that close to the center

Thankfully.

[catzies]

29. Map shows TWO quakes within minutes of each other.

Mojave's 4.7 and Baja's 5.1

DAMN. :wow:

[Xithras]

45. Twenty seven seconds apart if I'm reading it right

So far it looks legit, and not a computer read error. In all likelyhood, the second one was about to go and the first just set it off...the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

Didn't they just have another big quake in Mexico recently?

[Xithras]

49. Nope, the Mojave epicenter has been removed

Looks like it was a data glitch after all.

[rinsd]

30. There were TWO!

One(5.1) in Baja;

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/Quakes/at00000169.htm

One(4.7) north of LA;

[slackmaster]

34. Give seismologists some time to sort it out

The data you see at first is generated automatically. Human intervention is required to weed out the noise.

Turn on an AM news station - KNX 1070 in Los Angeles

[King Of Paperboys]

32. Well, frylock, slackmaster and I felt it...

Here in San Diego. How come?

[nini]

33. you felt the one off of Rosarito

...

[rinsd]

35. Our building shook.....

I'm in North Park. My roommate felt it in OB.

[slackmaster]

39. I am in South Park

House jolted a couple of inches up, down, and all around but it died down quickly. That's why I say it was close by. With a large, far-away quake the shaking is not so sharp, and the s-waves take longer to arrive.

[King Of Paperboys]

42. If you are in South Park...

Did Cartman freak out?

[nini]

43. LOL

I was waiting for something like that.

I didn't know there was a South Park ,CA

[King Of Paperboys]

48. Not really, nini

He just means the neighborhood south of Balboa Park, just outside downtown San Diego. But I couldn't resist. ;)

[slackmaster]

50. It's generally east and south of Balboa Park

North of Golden Hill, south of North Park.

[nini]

53. ha.. ok..

makes sense now..


too bad.. loved the Cartman comment though!

[King Of Paperboys]

55. Yeah

Picture Cartman in an earthquake...

"Gaddamn hippie earthquake! Screw you guys! I'm going home!"

[slackmaster]

36. There's only one possible explanation

Mass hysteria.

:evilgrin:

[lazarus]

62. I felt it up here in Lakeside

Haele didn't feel it over on Coronado, oddly enough.

[Renew Deal]

38. Third quake felt in Bodie, CA area 9 minutes before. 1.9 magnitude

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/nc40157942.html

[Xithras]

47. 1.9? I can belch bigger quakes than that ;-)

I believe that Cali has dozens of those a month. Completely unfeelable on the surface.

[slackmaster]

52. You don't LIVE in Bodie, do you?

Not much to do there, economically speaking.

:shrug:

[Renew Deal]

54. I live in NY.

I just like natural occurrences.

[Xithras]

57. Nobody lives in Bodie, but it's pretty to look at :-)

IIRC, Bodie is home to one NPS ranger in the winter, and a handful in the summer. Everyone else is just daytripping :)

Oh, I should mention that my dad owns about 650 acres near Lee Vining, so I'm pretty familiar with the area. I don't think there's a single economically viable industry in that entire region, and the fact that the entire county has a population of about 1500 people (in nototiously overcrowded California) just about proves that.

[King Of Paperboys]

40. It's The End Of The World As We Know It

And I feel fine.

[Renew Deal]

46. lol

:nuke:

[HawkerHurricane]

44. South San Diego here...

very small shake. No rattles, no damage. Felt like a truck going by, but we don't get trucks on our cul-de-sac.

[nini]

51. Someone here just said it was Reagan being pulled to HELL

ahahahahhahaah


coming from someone who I thought was a repuke!

[King Of Paperboys]

56. OK

This is the best thread I ever started EVER.

You people are swell. Seriously. I mean that.

[catzies]

59. No, YOU are.

:P

Reagan, R.E.M. and South Park references in the same thread. You'll get along here just fine.

[King Of Paperboys]

60. Thank you, catzies.

I have my moments. :P

[Renew Deal]

58. Epicenter moved NE towards SD.

They changed the map.

[Lindsey]

63. I'm in Orange County (at work) and several people felt it here

in the offices right next to me -however, I didn't.
