Earthquake in San Diego

[lazarus]

I dunno how big it was, or if anyone else felt it, but the entire apartment just moved with a big jolt. That was bizarre.

1. The election gods must have awoken

2.4 apparently

[pmbryant]

4. I didn't know you could feel quakes that small

2.4 is pretty tiny. lazarus must have been right on top of it!

5. that was too early

This one hit at 1036. Also, that one was way too far away. I actually heard this one, it was at least a 3.0. Maybe that one was a preshock?

7. refresh the site

its usually pretty quick with the reports

[lazarus]

15. 3.9

And it was right here.

From the latitude and longitude, it was one degree one way, and half a degree the other, so not very far at all.

Heck, I grew up on the Gulf Coast. I laugh at hurricanes, but these earthquakes are just weird.

16. That makes more sense

3.9 is pretty small, but if you're right on top of it, it is quite noticeable.

Glad it wasn't a big one!

3. My nephew grew up in Orange County, but lives in Barcelona

And I told him in an e-mail this morning to speak to his parents's today because if Arnold wins God is going to let the whole state slide into the Pacific Ocean. This is the final warning.

8. If it ain't above a 4...

...I don't want to hear about it.

Spoken like a true ex-Californian.

11. My version of the Richter Scale

Magnitude <3 - "Was that a truck passing by?"
Magnitude 4 - You feel it
Magnitude 5 - Cable TV is out
Magnitude 6 - Phones out
Magnitude 7 - Electricity out

[pmbryant]

18. I think you're underestimating the 7's

The Northridge quake in 1994 was "only" a 6.6 and it knocked down several freeways, destroyed numerous homes and buildings, and killed dozens of people.

:scared:
