EARTHQUAKE!!!!

“Sounds like Dr. Evil is upto no good again.

Has anyone seen a flying "Bob's Big Boy" lately?”

“Watch out for the "laser"”

“eeeeeeeeeevil”

“It's so boring where I live. Maybe next year some more slides will form on some of our mountains.”

“lol lumberzac be careful what you wish for man .....”

“Up to about 75 aftershocks now....”

“Shakin' up yer chocolate milk, eh?”

“I was sitting here at my desk when the first one hit!
Looked up and my lamp was wobbling.”

“That's not some weird Crazy Mike expression, is it?”

“lol, no, I was referring to those ridiculous commercials for chocolate milk where they go to bizarre extremes to shake it up.”

“Hmmmm. Haven't seen those....”

“Where are ya' WW?”

“The USGS has a cool feature where you answer a bunch of questions, and your answers are fed into a database that instantly prepares a shaking intensity map. Pretty cool. Go here to check it out for this 'quake.


BTW, it's been upgraded to a 6.0!”

“Pat Robertson's gonna claim you guys pi$$ed off God with all those gay marriages!”

“Except that that part of CA is serious GOP country!”

“God's a Liberal?”

“I dunno - ask Pat....”

“I ckecked on that link you posted, Bowlderm, and found one north of Missoula that occured last Sunday. It was only a puny 3.8--didn't feel a thing.”

“That's the way it is in Montana. Either it's some puny little wussy earthquake or the whole side of a mountain comes down.”

“Move to Florida, it's nice and boring. Except in September.”

“Sweet! Hope everyone is okay but how cool is this stuff??

Check out the intra-plate earthquake info - wonder when the next big Missouri one will take place?”

“earthquakes, hurricanes galore and mt st helen's about to erupt again,... it's the end of the world, man.”

“It is NOT the end of the world right now. But I'm suspicious of next Thursday. It's just a hunch. I loved you all. Really, I mean that. Bye.”

“My sis is in San Diego...I wonder if she felt any of the shocks. I'll email her later.”

“Glad to hear you made it through the latest BowlderMan...not exactly Loma Linda this time, but probably nerve wracking none the less.

I need to call my brother in SF to see if he felt it.”

“Apparently there was a little one (2.9) up in Massena, NY on Sept. 3. Just the Adirondack growing again.”

“I'm south west of Parkfield (where the quake was) in the metropolis of Porterville.”

“Bongo, my wife works in SF on the 11th floor of a building, and she didn't feel a thing....

That's right, WW! I remember now. My dad grew up in Visalia - he has stories of fighting with the kids from Porterville (and all the other towns around there, too, for that matter....).


Apparently, this quake has the scientists drooling because, according to the newspaper, it's the most heavily instrumented area in the country.”

“BowlderMan, where do you live? Are we neighbors? We're up in Sonoma County.

TwinkleToes, I grew up in Missouri. Not to many people know about THAT earthquake. There's a really interesting book--The Frontiersman--that has that earthquake in it as a central point.

Right after I heard the news, I called our son who at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. He didn't feel a thing. Dang kids, as Naviguesser would say.”

“I'm in Alameda, wbp, not too far from you....”

“It wasn't an earthquake!
It was just the kids playing around. Dang kids!!!”

“Friends in Marin didn't feel a thing either...”

“That's what you get when you move to a different continent, bongo: no more fun ground shaking!”

“This one was closer to me, the epicenter was near Bakersfield. 5.0... We're rockin and a rollin!”

“"That's what you get when you move to a different continent, bongo: no more fun ground shaking!"
Does that mean Marin is a different continent?

BowlderMan, nice to 'meet' a neighbor.”

“wbp: Yes, and Yes!”

“Hey now, Basel is in an earthquake zone...they had a big one in the 1600s...you know the Swiss, they all have earthquake insurance, just in case...

the problem is the earthquakes, its the cloudy weather...I am permenantly in SF-like fog and overcast so far this fall...”

“When I went to Switzerland in September one year I couldn't see the beautiful mountains due to the darn fog. What a disappointment.

Mount St Helens is not going to erupt by the way. She's just letting off some steam. As I said before, the worse that could happen is for that glacier in the crater to melt and cause flooding and mud in the rivers, potentially causing trouble down in the cities. Besides Mt St Helens is sort of south and not near any major cities. Mid/South Western WA is pretty uninhabited.
Oops, I shouldn't have said anything, now everyone is gonna move there.”

“Ya mean like this, bongo??”

“That's how my trip was! So sad. : (”

“yep...haven't mastered the horn yet, but my day on Pilatus was pretty similar Bowlder...

The fog does make it feel a bit like home though...the clouds, well they just suck...”

“"Seismologists said there was no connection between activity at Mount St. Helens and a strong earthquake near Parkfield, California or a smaller series of quakes in Alaska earlier this week."

And I was thinking the whole Pacific Rim was going to crack off into the sea. Darn!

(You guys like my new macabre self? Boo ha ha haaaaa!)”

“Just had an earthquake. Details to follow....”

“another day, another earthquake...”

“Damn Marty, ya beat CNN.”

“Was it bad?”

“Not here, just some swaying, etc. Still no update from USGS. Maybe it was just indigestion....”

“lol not on any news sites yet”

“BELCH!”

“Whoa! I felt that one, mapes!”
