Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler N. Cal quakes

I'm in SF, and have felt nothing. Until now, when it feels like everything is swaying. Power of suggestion combined with standing with my knees locked...

I felt it this morning, but just barely. I'm on the 5th floor of a building on the UCLA campus.

BTW, the most recent data says it was only 4.0.

Hey...yer right down the road from me.

Where'd you get the 4.0 info. The website I'm looking at still says 6.0.

Not down the road anymore. Now I'm in a hotel room near the UCSD campus.

The website I was using is here:
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/120-36.html

And you are correct. It was 6.0. I must have clicked on an aftershock.

I live right near Paso, about 30 minutes away, and the quake was nothing. both my roommates slept through it and I just thought it was a semi driving by. My Velodyne causes much more room shaking.

You non Californians who are afraid of earthquakes are silly, I have never experienced a bad one in 23 years of living here.

Knock on wood

Many other Californians would beg to differ. Loma Prieta and Northridge were both in your lifetime.

I felt that quake all the way down in Chino, BTW.
My wife was eating breakfast in her parents' home in Whittier during the Whittier quake (around a 7.0 I think). She said it was really weird the way things floated around the room.

I have lived in California all my 40 years. I lived about 35 miles from the Northridge epicenter. That quake scared the crap out of me....I thought it was THE one.

I have friends that were in SF for the big one up there...friends that have also lived in California their whole lives....they too that it was THE one.

Quakes are a real danger, but I would still rather get hit by a quake than a hurricane.

Your sources were right on, Tom.

Something did happen, and it was not major. Still, you don't see something like this everyday, and if you live closeby it must make you nervous.

Aaaah! That link TALKS! I hate those ads.

Anyway, I read another report that said that this may be the end of it, or it could be a precursor to something larger.
