Substantial Quake in SOCAL

[StaticCling]

Prelim is 6.6 in Ridgecrest (Kern County)

Felt pretty good in Northridge (LA County). Got a vid on my Twitter, scottburtknx. I don't know how to link Twitter here.

More of a roller, but long duration. Good Times. :ohnoes:

Probably the longest I've felt. Good twenty seconds.

That's what she said.

They just showed video of a liquor store in Ridgecrest. Oh the humanity!:sadangel:

Looks like Stangkiller's house Sunday morning after the party.:leaving:

[NEED-A-VETTE]

Felt it pretty strong here. Small waves at first. I was like...is that an earthquake? Yep...that’s an earthquake. :funny:

Even 30 seconds after the shaking stopped, my chandelier was still swinging pretty good. :funny:

Lots of aftershocks.

Sam dog started whining about 5 minutes before the quake. Not until after it happened, did I realize he knew something was up. :yesnod:

The cats here were slightly annoyed. Then they went back to napping in the sun. :funny:

Those first waves were strange. Not super strong...to the point I wasn’t even sure it was an earthquake. Then they got stronger. :ohnoes:

USGS shows that it measured about 3.5 by the time the waves got to Granada Hills/Porter Ranch. So, not too bad.

I was about ten miles from the 7.0 Loma Prieta quake in northern California in '89. My room mate at the time swears the fish in his aquarium were acting very strange for a day or so beforehand.

Yep, "What's that" and then oh yea...

The wife got big eyed. :omg:

Hopefully that's it for a few years.
Glad you're all ok.

At first I didn't think anything of it. Big truck driving by or something. What really caught my attention was the duration, then it got stronger. And I was like, Oh ****, this might be a big one. :ohnoes:

I was out at the bars drinking in Okinawa, and there was a 4. something one that happened. Folks told me about it when I got back to the building. Evidently I missed it..:datawiz:

I do remember violating bushes on the way back to the barracks. We'd fall on 'em or pee on 'em.

Not sure I could sleep tonight if I lived in that area.

That looked exhilarating :eek:

A 5.8 hit in Virginia on August 11, 2011 and we felt that in my area of PA. ( south of Allentown)

I was running one of the CNC lathes while standing on an anti fatigue mat and "something felt funny". Found out later it was the earthquake. The "damage" at work was a pile of skids fell over :lol:

Earthquakes don't make me lose sleep...

The walking dead however, do. Just a little bit. Sandy and Johnny know what I mean. :yesnod:

The ring of fire has had several large quakes the past couple days. That area of Kali just had a 6.0+ and a lot of 4.0+ aftershocks. Who is to say a 7 or larger won't happen before it's done shaking?

Glad we don't really have that kind of thing here in Tejas.

You have a poor attitude.

[erickpl]

Not too far from Tehachapi, where I used to live...

Never felt a quake the entire time we lived there, though there were some...

[Dan Dlabay]

My wife and I have been in S. Cal. t attend her high school reunion from the school she went to in Saigon from 1968 to 1972. Thur. morning I setting in our leased suv waiting on my wife in Westminster. (Little Saigon). At about 10am the suv started to shake I thought what the heck is going on. Found out latter it was a tremor.

[NEED-A-VETTE]

You have a poor attitude.

Dude, I’m yanking your chain. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive. :funnier: :funnier: :funnier:


I appreciate your concern but like Chinaski said, we don’t lay awake at night waiting on the big one. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

I’m prepared with food and water storage and essentials, a large first aid kit (that is equipped to handle more than just scrapes and bruises), a small generator, an emergency radio that can be hand cranked (if needed), stored gas and a BOB (if absolutely needed). I keep all my important documents in a safe so they’re very easy to grab all at once. I don’t let my car get below a half a tank. Ever.

So, please, spare me the fear mongering. While I am prepared, I am not losing sleep over it.

[mrvette]

Long as you all don't run outta soft toilet paper........:rofl::rofl::rofl::D

how long it been?? 5 years??

:iagree:

Yep, I sleep well in a war zone too. One time my buddy asked me if I heard a bigger than usual attack that happened during my sleeping time. My reply, "What attack". The same applies to earthquakes, tornadoes, and just about any other out of the ordinary thing. Make your peace and sleep well.

A lot of history could be learned by young people about a Saigon reunion being held in SoCal.:yesnod:

I'm coming to your house when the big one hits. Problem solved.

I believe that would be as Robin Williams said, an "oh ****" moment for me.

[NEED-A-VETTE]

Again...now. Small one.

It was going pretty good here. Decent aftershock. :kimblair:

[StaticCling]

5.0

[boracayjohnny]

5.0

It rolled more than the two before here. I even heard a coupla minor creaks/snaps from the walls. I went outside and a young lady from the next apt complex had come from the shower. :D

That one was definitely a roller. :funny:

I was painting a chair in the garage and felt the ground start to move. I had time to put the top on the paint can, pick up my brushes and then walk into the house...and it was still rolling. :rofl:

Didn’t feel anything. Wouldn’t be surprised, though.

I felt it. A little after 9PM Local.

I'm sitting still while playing a video game.

[boracayjohnny]

There's a chopper hovering over the hills to my southwest. No traffic tie up showing on Google Maps. Maybe there's a pool party and the LAPD or Traffic folks are checking it out.

Since chinaski is probably still in shock, I'll post the pic:

Probably someone with illegal fireworks.

[carlton_fritz]

There was no fear mongering. Just stating a fact, and lookie there. I was right. Now I think the Kali area is done. Look for a big one somewhere else within the next 2 days.

Who said you were wrong about the possibility of additional quakes? There is the possibility of quakes every damn day. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You’re just not going to get any of us to clutch our pearls over it. Sorry. :funny:

It still beats being on fire. If an earthquake destroys your home, you can still go through the rubble and salvage most of your valuables.

[Cybercowboy]

Do y'all need an intervention? I can do one because I just got done sitting in traffic for 45 minutes to go three miles and would be happy to calmly do an intervention if needed.

Ok, here's y'all inter ****ing vention. First of all, California has ****ing earthquakes. They is mostly small, but sometimes they's big. IT HAPPENS! It's Cali-****ing-forn-I-yay. They is hippies, mostly, but resilient enough to handle anything on that Ricter scale under bout 7.5. After that, well, they lose their shit. But that's OK because if the fire didn't git it first, the earthquakes will and that's if the illegals didn't already a-run off with it.

So CALM THE **** DOWN!
