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'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. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/ci10410337.php
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 these little quakes are good though, they are our friends, relieving stress along faultlines... foreshocks?? Very rare...
Pretty slim 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.
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.
I've been through a very small quake.. It's a terrible feeling... The ****ing floor is moving. Hurricanes don't bother me. And one those all but ripped our house away when I was 12 lol
I'm on to your subliminal messages. Your post backwards reads, "enoyreve efas yats", which is clearly Russian for "Bow before the almighty OPIE!!!"
i felt it but im 7 miles from epicenter http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/ci10411545.php
anyone else getting that bad 'feeling' that i'm getting? haha if we get another quake before friday i think i'm leaving town for a week
Felt it earlier. I guess this one's close to the test center I'll be going to in less than 2 weeks. Must be a sign...
Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days Worldwide earthquakes with M4.5+ located by USGS and Contributing Agencies. (Earthquakes with M2.5+ within the United States and adjacent areas.)
Two big quakes in two days (6.9M yesterday and this morning's 6.6M that was closer to me and woke me up at 5 am). The world's shaking apart!! (j/k) Note: The Japan scale is a little different.
We've had a few very small earthquakes (like 2.5 or less type earthquakes) and I actually thought they were kind of fun, almost like one of those quarter slot massage chairs.
You safe from the Typhoons? I know Japan's coast and China have been hit hard. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090811/ap_on_re_as/as_asia_storm http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=14983634&ch=4226714&src=news

The latest tropical storm went east of Tokyo. I'm far enough inland that all the typhoons get their strength sapped by the terrain (mountains) before they really do much damage. I do expect a lot of rain and some flooding sometime this year. We've got everything here: earthquakes, typhoons, volcanoes, floods, etc, etc, etc
saw some news clips of the earthquake damage.. 80 some injuries? which surprised me. If there is a cutting edge prepared place in the world, it would have to be Japan..
i lived in california for 59 years never got used to the ground shaking. never under stood that fore shock, aftershock stuff. hell, if the grounds shaking my pants are full and its a friggin earthquake.
