Michele 1 #1 March 28, 2003 Well, as I was typing this note, I discovered it wasn't a truck outside but a wee bitty quakie...2.8, barely noticable...except it wasn't too far away (maybe 12 miles?). So the cats looked around, I looked around, and then went ahead and started checking... I actually think that's the first time I've ever felt something less than a 3.5...I thought it was a bit larger than that...at least, that I recall... http://www.scecdc.scec.org/recenteqs/ http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/review_eventfiles/13950580.html (waveforms for those interested) Fun! Rumble-rumble-bounce-rumble ~~ hey cat, where are you going? Just thought I'd mention it...

Michele 1 #3 March 28, 2003 Yeah, '71 was a bad one. Took down freeways, took out buildings. I was 5 years old, in Burbank.... 94 was worse, imho, though. I do believe I'd rather have eq's than tornados. Less frequent, less destructive (in an area known for eq's [building codes, etc.], at least), and less scary overall.

Michele 1 #5 March 28, 2003 I'm surprised *I* felt anything. A 2.8 is dinky, wee-tiny-small, and it was at least 12 miles away. You wouldn't have felt it in Barstow - that's what, like 90 - 100 miles north of me? But yes, Barstow is, uh, rather "quiet"...

Michele 1 #8 March 28, 2003 QuoteLookie what happened to my house last week...and it was 'only' high winds! Yeowwwchh! Everything was o.k.? Reminds me of a few months ago when my mother's tenants called me at 5 -something-am screaming that the gardeners had come in the night and cut down the eucalyptus trees out front.....which made no sense at all until I realized we had serious winds that evening...something on the order of 60-70 mph gusts...took that tree right on down... LOL...yeah, eq's aren't nearly as bad... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #12 March 28, 2003 Hi, Mark Quotewhat time was the quakie? The wee lil wannabe quakie was at 9:44 pm, I think. Click the top link (USGS) and then click the blue box at Northridge...that will give you all the details. Quotelooking like 30-35,000 in damages [Frown] Dayum.....my mom's house didn't suffer any real damages...just a set of malibu lights lining the walkway got roughed up. Nothing a quick run to Home Depot didn't fix... QuoteHey aren't you in real estate??? WE WANNA MOVE BACK!!!!! [Cool] [Cool] [Cool] Come on home! And let me know when you do, and I will help find you a home...or at least put you with a good realtor for the neighborhood of your choice... Besides, if you move home, you can jump with me at Elsinore and Perris, and laugh really hard at me in the sky...I flail very competently!

Shark 0 #15 March 28, 2003 Lemme know. I hear Martin and his team pumpkin of brits are arriving Monday. So, it should be the haps all week. 5 April is the SSL and possibly BikerBabe will be here later this week. I'll be working all week, or at least hanging out.
