Just had a little earthquake

[Oeditpus Rex]

Like 20 seconds ago.

I'm guessing 3.1. We'll see in a couple minutes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I didn't feel it down here, my dear Oeditpus Rex......

Probably as you say....a little one.....

And very local too......

You OK?

:loveya: :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Oh, yeah

House shook once — a nice little bump.

Okay, I was a little off; 2.8. But it was closer than I thought.

Hardly worth talkin' about.

[LeftyMom]

Hey, why weren't you at the meetup today?

*pout*

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. I had an earthquake to attend

:blush:

[Ava]

2. believe it or not

we actually had a little earthquake down here in alabama last year.

[Gormy Cuss]

3. ANSS has it as a 2.8

But that would be a very small one to feel unless you are right on top of it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Pretty close

About nine miles.

[LaraMN]

7. "Little earthquake, huh?" Is that what you Californicans call it?

and do you REALLY need to post about that?

:wow:



:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Well, youse guys are always braggin'

about your stupid snow, so it's equal time.



I can't figure how I didn't notice the 4.3 early this morning. I was awake, and a 4.3 is a decent shake.



'Course, I was stoned on Vicodin...

[LaraMN]

9. Ok, I WAS making a dirty joke....

Methinks you're still operating on the vicodin.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Nah, I'm clean

It's your pure, virginal reputation. I'd never associate you with anything even remotely naughty.

[LaraMN]

13. Oh good, because I do need to maintain that rep.

and since my very pelvic structure has been exposed today, I think my work's been done for me!

[grasswire]

14. It was just Lucy, prolly

BTW, how much Vicodin does it take to get to the point where one doesn't feel pain? I'm not there yet.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. I've never gotten to that point

Gotten to the point I didn't care, though. :crazy:




BTW — your secret is safe with me.

[Deja Q]

10. So, you got lucky then?

Not the big one, I presume...

:yoiks:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Nope

That's supposed to happen sometime between now and 2036.








Wait.. did you mean...? :shrug:



Eh. It's the same answer anyway.

[In_The_Wind]

16. Excuse me ...

But ~ Is there a time of year when earthquakes are more prevalent than others?

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Nope

And there's no such thing as "earthquake weather," either. :eyes:

[In_The_Wind]

24. I didn't think so.

I'll try not to jump outta my skin if it happens while I'm there. :scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. You probably will

Most people do the first few times.

We had a reporter from Wisconsin a few years ago, and one day there was a pretty good one... 4.8, I think. Soon as it was over, I said, "Okay, people, let's get to work" — meaning it was a big enough quake that there might be some minor damage and we needed to get on the phones, get a photographer out, etc.

But Kollin just sat there, shaking.

N00bs. :eyes:

[In_The_Wind]

28. I try to deal with my fear in a rational manner.

I managed to get through the Chesapeake Bay Tunnels without freaking out. I'm working on that one because it's a fairly new phobia.
NSMA once mentioned being on a bridge during a quake. :scared: BTW I love bridges.

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. I love bridges, too

Just not so much bein' on 'em.

Are the Chesapeake Bay Tunnels as long as (gulp) the Chesapeake Bay Bridge? :scared:

[In_The_Wind]

34. There are 3 bridges which are miles long. If a ship is passing it's weird.

The optical illusion is that you're going to crash into it.

The two tunnels are only a little over a mile each. Yes, I did check my odometer on the way in and out of both. I was thinking about going through on a trike trip but when I lowered a window while I was in the second tunnel the air pressure and vibrations were too unsettling. I may take the ferry instead.

I have some great pictured of different suspension bridges. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. I've got one right in front of me

of the Golden Gate Bridge during construction. There's some surf fishermen in the foreground. It's an old black-and-white blown up to poster size.

The one I really love is a print of an original architect's sketch of the Brooklyn Bridge. I had that one framed.

[In_The_Wind]

42. One bridge up in Delaware triggered memories of past companions.

There I was tooling along the road listening to some novel being read to me when like a huge shock wave the unbidden thoughts of old lovers hit like a ton of bricks. x( sigh

[Ariana Celeste]

17. Oh snap!

[Ariana Celeste]

[Oeditpus Rex]

I think I need to go buy a turkey breast tomorrow morning and bake it... so I can make delicious turkey sammitches by the afternoon..... :drool:

*I'm* hungry now!!! :o

But I'm also drunk so maybe I should just brush my teeth and go to bed instead of finding food eh? :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. You type pretty good

Heh... you said "breast."

[Ariana Celeste]

41. Several years experience

Goin to bed- night! :hug:

[jpgray]

23. Did the earth move for you?

:patriot:

[thefool_wa]

43. You do realize that

"Little Earthquake" is a euphamism for an orgasm, right?

good for you :) (well, bad if its an actual earthquake :()

[Shine]

44. Didn't feel it here.

hmmm....

Oh, duh. I just noticed your OP was yesterday! LOL.

Oh well, Didn't feel it yesterday, either.

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

45. I feel the earth move...

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...
