EARTHQUAKE. . .

Recommended Posts

Ah.. much better... same quake, better page.

I was 10 miles from the epicenter during the 7.1 Loma Prieta earthuake in 1989. There was no missing that one. That shook like crazy!

Yep . . .

Here on the top floor of our hangar at NAS North Island on Coronado, the walls were rocking and shaking. I was already walking out the door and was passed by some very hurried looking folks.

My buddy's wife was in the commissary, and she said food was falling off of the shelves. I hope there weren't too many jars of spaghetti sauce that fell and broke. :P

Wierd.

***they said it looked like waves were rolling thru, kinda like how as kids, you'd take an old parachute n shake it



Yeah.. it looks a lot like that. Are you calling me a kid?

Okay, the one I probably felt happened a minute earlier off the coast of Rosarito, Mexico. . .it was a 5.1. . .Quite a jolt for those of us in high rise buildings. . .lol!


That makes FAR more sense than the 4.7 up here.

OTOH, I just spoke with my brother, and he didn't feel the 4.7 at all...and he was near EAFB. He did say there was a huge explosion/test thing happening at EAFB, so maybe that was picked up on the seismographs. Still, that's awfully large for a test...

Sigh.

Yeah, the USGS took the Edwards AFB one off the list. I think it has been determined that it wasn't an earthquake. Also they updated the Rosarito one to 36 miles off the coast of Coronado. . .and 5.2 on the scale. . .

Phil you need to stop touching yourself when others are around...

It's not exactly appropriate, especially in that "vagina" lab of yours, people are giong to start wondering...

This is starting to make much much more sense.

Thanks for the info, Darcy!

Stay safe, all area residents!

Hey Ed, are you Downtown? I am wondering about those older buildings down there. . .

We don't really, but I haven't felt a really good shaker since Northridge. As a native I went through all the big ones. Loma Prieta, Whittier Narrows, Lancaster, Northridge, etc. When I moved to Seattle for 3 years, the first couple months there we had an earthquake and it was on the news for a week. . .all us transplanted Californians kept laughing at the Seattleites engrossed in their earthquake news. . .I couldn't even get news about this one from the TV. Pretty funny shit if you ask me.
