Fie! Another earthquake.

This one was magnitude 4.5.

Anyone else feel it?

[arcane1]

1. damn, same place we had that barrage of quakes recently

didn't feel this one, though

[salinen]

2. The dog felt it

She came over to me all wide eyed.

[devilgrrl]

3. No, I didn't feel it. Where and when did it happen?

[Cleita]

4. Central California

Close to Paso Robles.

[devilgrrl]

5. Scary...

:scared:

[salinen]

6. If it was in Paso Robles

then it wasn't too big. I'm 20 crow miles from Paso.

[Cleita]

9. Actually, if you look at the link, they said it was

eleven miles from Lake Nacimiento, which is close to Paso. I probably felt it more because my mobile is up on piers and it rocks more than an ordinary house with a foundation.

7. Here's a nice intensity map of this quake

12. That is a nice map.

Thanks for the link.

8. I wonder how Governor Groper(tm) will handle it...

Bush* had betrayed him once before, and he's still dumb enough to think Bush* will help him in the future. :eyes:

The money is gone, man... Either in California or in the US. It won't take much to shatter the US economy; who needs peak oil to do it? California, should the Big One(tm) occur, might be the disaster that ends our cozy empire as we know it.

10. Hopefully there won't be much damage.

So far there have been no damage reports, but it does take longer here to get news because of limited resources.

[brook]

11. sure did.

I have that link on my desktop... so I can verify that I'm not imagining things. Just when I stop with the flash backs - we get one like this. I need to get some of that 'stop-fray' stuff for my nerves!

[Cleita]

13. Hehe.

Hi Brook. :hi: Glad to hear you are okay. Have a nice St. Paddy's day drink for your nerves. I'm thinking I will too.

[brook]

17. Hiya.

Thanks and I'm taking your advice. In fact, I'm on my second one. Just checked
the earthquake site - we've had 24 today. A 3.0 just a short while ago. I didn't feel that one. That must mean gin and tonic keeps
the damned things away, eh? :)

[Cleita]

14. They just mentioned it on the news.

Now they are saying that it was nine miles north of San Simeon instead of Nacimiento. This explains why Brook felt it more than anyone. I'm hoping that it's an aftershock to the December earthquake and not a prequake on another fault.

15. My dad in Los Osos felt nada

And he's in the earthquake business so he's 'tuned' to shakin' and bakin'.

[catzies]

16. No, and we felt the Paso Robles one! You just never know

with those things.
