California Earthquake

[Bill Howell]

I saw something on the news about one this afternoon. Everybody out that way ok? Just thought I would check.........

[TonyHuntimer]

It was a big deal for some people because the government officials freaked out and thought a Tsunami was going to hit the coast of California.

Other than that, we're all fine.

Thanks for checking though,

I heard there was another one today in so cal at around 2 p.m and it was a around a 5 on the scale. I was fishing though so i didnt fell it. Plus the oceans the safest place to be during a tsunami right?

I felt the one today. I was on the 3rd floor in my cubicle. First the floor moved, then the windows shook for a second. It was a 5.0 magnitude located near San Bernadino.

I didn't feel it but a lot of others at work felt it. Must be that shock absorber under my chair. lol

Just remember and try to keep in mind that you are in eartquake country and need to be aware of your surroundings. The safest place during a tsunami is high ground and at least 1 mile out to sea.
The early warning system we have in California automatically goes off if there is a quake over 6.0 ocean side. This type of quake was 2 plates moving along each other and not under the other so the tsunami warning was called off.
Its sad around here... I've been listening to people complaining that it was a waste of time and money...I can think of a thousand + dead people in asia that would rather have wasted time and money. The only danger I can see from false alarms is people not taking them seriously. be safe.

Our local officials got their new Tsunami maps one hour before the quake!
I heard it took the warning center 38 minutes to call an alert which was too long, they are going to work on getting it out faster. ANY coastal area can get hit.

I heard about it on the news. They don't bother me, but right after one hits, I'm always asking for more. They're fun!!!

[rockdogz]

This one felt pretty long to me... our building shook for at least 40 seconds...

[MrQuick]

I can see California from atop my land in Lake Havasu City, AZ. I'm looking forward to that land becoming oceanview property some day.

That reminds me of a good song by George Strait

[Bill Howell]

Well, glad to hear everyone is ok. One thing though, if that is the cost of living in paradise, I will just stay here in God's country.

At least we can hide underground here in Tornado Alley.

That just too much! I can't stop laughing. It takes a certain breed to live out in CA. Not that is a bad thing.

Some earthqakes shake the trees, and you can hear the leaves rustling like a breeze is blowing but it's the ground shaking them! The small quakes are almost fun since they cause no damage but the bigger ones can cause damage and really get your attention.

My uncle experienced one near the Watsonville CA Loma Prieta quake, and he went to shut off the gas to the house afterward, the whole gas meter was broken off and laying in the driveway, his neighbor had their toilet broken by the quake.
