The varied experiences are amazing. But the shit talk is always disturbing. People who do that are most likely to fuck up and emergency responses. Probably push old crippled women out of the way.I missed the Mid-Atlantic quake that cracked the Washington monument a couple of years ago. My wife felt it indoors but I was mowing grass on a riding mower and never felt a thing. It would have been cool.
Do you have any idea how much the bay area was devastated by the Loma Prieta quake? Probably not. A section of the upper deck of the bay bridge collapsed. Elevated freeways in Oakland and SF collapsed with people in cars crushed--that is the reason there are no double decker freeways in the bay anymore with the exception of part of the bay bridge. Your turn blowhard.
FRACKING!
We had a good one back in Boston back in the early 1980s? On the waterfront my building was on concrete stilts right next to the piers. Had great nightmares after that one. Ships ranching into building etc. LOL
Odd thing, those dreams became recurring
I was stationed in Barstow in 69-70. It is in the middle of the Mojave desert--sand. Not much to feel from an earthquake there--a little shaking, maybe things falling off of a shelf.and btw, you're forgiven
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake followed by several strong aftershocks were felt across Southern California early Monday afternoon.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake struck at 1 p.m., with the epicenter roughly 13 miles northeast of Barstow in San Bernardino County. The impact was felt across a wide swath of Southern California, including metropolitan Los Angeles and northern San Diego County.
The USGS initially measured the quake as aI5.1 magnitude but quickly downgraded it to 4.9. It was followed by several significant aftershocks measuring 3.5 and 2.7.
5 pointers are just enough to get your adrenaline going .....try a 7 pointer....those are frighting....i can only imagine what a 9 pointer must be like....I remember feeling a rare earthquake in Michigan about 10 years ago, think it was 4 point something.
I was in bed and thought that a really big truck was driving by and shaking the house a little. No big deal
People in California ought to be used to it

No thank you. As I got older my brain senses things differently. LOL5 pointers are just enough to get your adrenaline going .....try a 7 pointer....those are frighting....i can only imagine what a 9 pointer must be like....
We're very close to a fault here. My building in another are was on top of the Inglewood/Newport fault: My building was on what they call rollers. I heard a load snap and the whole building shook like jello 3.o/4.6 quakes. Some people felt it outside. Others did not.
The Newport–Inglewood Fault, the source of the 1933 earthquake, is a right-lateral strike-slip fault trending northwest–southeast, and parallel to other major right-lateral faults in California. The fault spans about 46 miles onshore from Culver City to Newport Beach, where it enters the Pacific Ocean.
yep...No thank you. As I got older my brain senses things differently. LOL
each point is what, ten times?
That happened during the 1959 Yellowstone/MT quake as well. The Night the Mountain Fell is a quick, easy read that tells about it and some of the victims--illustrated.HE told the story of the ground opening up and people and things being swallowed up before the gaping crevices closed. wtf?
With all I know, this one only sounds familiar.That happened during the 1959 Yellowstone/MT quake as well. The Night the Mountain Fell is a quick, easy read that tells about it and some of the victims--illustrated.
