You guys get all the good ones down there. What kind was it?

2) How bad?

I see you and karma still have power, so was it in SF?

Can't be the Bay Area, I'm out here & didn't feel a thing

Imago said:

It lasted about 7 seconds, a quick hard jolt. I would guess its around a 5.5 on the richter scale. I felt it and Muse felt it, so I figure its somewhere near the San Andreas Fault.

Imago said:

No.

that has to be a crazy ass feeling...

it can't have been in the bay area. everyone in so cal is okay?

I knew someone from LA. And They had this big living room fish tank and one time there was an earthquake. and their fish tank cracked so after it leaked so they put that sealer stuff like clear glue. and their fish tank had this weird clear smear down the front and it still leaked. Thank god they still had the stuffed parrot that talked or it would have been a drag to hang out there.

According to the Cal Tech Seismograph it was a 4.7 8 Miles SE of El Cerrito

Oh my! I hope everyone is ok

I hate earthquakes! The Northridge one was the only time I thought I was going to die.

wow that's not too small!

This one has better fault lines. They're both from usgs.

INSATIABLE said:

ok, I know about aftershocks, is there any such thing as a preceding quake to a larger one?


Sorry, for my ignorance, but Florida is a perfect state lacking earthquake or other horrible natural disasters that afflict the rest of the nation.

We had a some 6.0 + here is Seattle during the 90's.
One I felt like whoa. because I was sitting still in this wood chair and it was up stairs on a wood floor.
It felt like ocean wave in open air.
I went then They can get your attention like nothing.
Because for a human you whole existence is going

Yes there are such things as earthquakes that precede larger ones. It has happened here twice. They had a couple small tremors before the 7. something Landers Earthquake and a small one before the Northridge quake.

I would have it at more in the 5.5 range too.... That was unexpected....

I live 13 miles from Corona!

Imago said:

Absolutely, but aftershocks are more common when it comes to "the big ones". My best friend's dad is a seismologist.

You're afraid for Florida, or you're just mentioning that you lack earthquakes? Check this out. http://earthquake.usgs.go...merica.php

Yes, there are like Jana said but the shake map is showing another 2.7 so as are happening that is a good sign.
