Earthquake!

felt that too! where you at don? I'm in West LA... the news is talking about it right now.. nothing about the level yet

I didnt feel it.

Ah its a bit south of where it was at.

I'm in Long Beach. Looks like it was a 5.0. We had a small one not too long ago. Hopefully this isnt a sign of another Northridge type quake coming.

Wow, a quake that isnt too large manages to knock out my cell service...I'm screwed in the event of an actual disaster lol...

yeah i just heard it was 4.7 centered near the Lennox area.
EDIT: yea, now they're saying 5.0

see, in my completely un-geologically-informed mind, all these little shakers to me are just relieving the pressure, thus delaying the next big one. make any sense?

yeah it was right on top of you guys down there in LA... Inglewood/Lennox area. We had a 4.2 I think it was three Fridays ago out here in my area (Newbury Park)... and then the following Friday a quake in the 4's in the Ojai area. I was waiting for another one this passed Friday, looks like it was two days late :lol: these little quakes are good though, they are our friends, relieving stress along faultlines... foreshocks?? Very rare... :shifty:

Pretty slim :lol: I actually grew up in WV, went to Westlake High... got to "enjoy" the big Northridge quake back in 1994. I know someone who was "this close" to being pancaked in that apartment complex... she was staying with her friend who lived in the complex... had fallen asleep (probably drank too much that night), woke up around 2:30am and drove home, something told her she should do that, well lucky for her she did...

I'd rather not feel a quake of that magnitude again, but know it'll eventually happen.

after shock just knocked down my sisters tv :pity:

Other than a bump on the noggin from a falling desk lamp, everything's fine here. I just hope someone locked the cabinets in lab because I'm not making a trip to come clean up. :pity:

i didnt feel anything.

I've never experienced an earthquake, but I gather that they're not fun.

I prefer em to hurricanes, but neither are great.

I'm on to your subliminal messages. Your post backwards reads, "enoyreve efas yats", which is clearly Russian for "Bow before the almighty OPIE!!!"
