Earthquake!

“Just had one in Sacto. I looked up from this page and the window started moving back and forth and my feet started swaying. Only lasted a couple of seconds but man, every time tht happens it sorta freaks me out!!”

“Feels like allot on the 19th floor!”

“I was only on the fourth but its an old building so it gives quite a bit. Where you at Rockbuck?”

“In downtown Sac. They say its a 5.2 in Portola, right near Lassen where I might be next week, hope the sucker doesn't blow its top!”

“Yeah. Bad for air quality on these warmer days:)”

“People on the ground tell me they didn't feel it, and we just had a smaller one up top...starting to feel a little queezy, time to go home! *GGG*”

“roseymonster, yeah, been there done that in WA. It fun if no one gets hurt. Glad you're okay.”

“Thanks LH. Part of the fun of living on the Westside!”

“Speakin of earthquakes:

Why did a big earthquake hit Seattle last year? It's the center for rock 'n roll.

What happened when the new couple in Seattle had sex for the first time? The earth moved.”

“Hoof Arted”

“I'm here in Reno on the fourth floor. Felt kinda weird, like vibrating. It was a 5.5 according to the USGS. Shook the windows and such, but none of the buildings collapsed.”

“Glad to hear everythings cool up your way Tahoe.”

“I live near Disneyland and just felt an earthquake 10 minutes ago. According to the web it was a 5.1 about 9 miles from Anza (not far from Palm Springs). I was surprised to feel it so far away.

It has been a while since I felt a big shaker...not really asking for one though.”

“Did California fall into the ocean yet?”

“God I hope not!
I've got hiking to do out there.”

“Here you go Phil! Maybe you should report it!!”

“It must be the full moon today!”

“Full moon November 2nd. Or is it the 1st?”

“It's Tonight! BOOOOOOOO!”

“Chief, you've probably felt a few quakes down in Wyoming. I feel them over at Cooke City when Yellowstone gets a big one.”

“46 years ago was the last time the full moon was on Halloween.....”

“Aero - I have reported the last few quakes I felt. The maps they make from the reports are interesting.”

“Two full moons in the month of October means tonights' was technically the Blue Moon.”

“They always seem to be able to put that something special into a day eh Phil? Beats one them fancy double whatever coffee drinks anyday IMO.”

“LOL!

That earthquake site also shows a map of the Long Valley Caldera. Mel lives right on the edge of it. Fun!”

“Griz, the next full moon on Halloween night will be in 2020. Darn, it rained all nite and was all clouds...couldn't see the moon.”

“We used to work in an 11 story office building, in Billings,
that really swayed during very distant quakes. We felt one in Idaho and one down in Wyoming; both were about 300 miles away. The building had a central strucural core with the floors cantelievered out. It was like a huge seismograph. Phil could probably shed some light on this one.”

“Apparently it was not a Blue Moon on the east coast. The full moon started after midnight so technically is was in November.”

“That ain't no quake, Phil. A garbage truck rumbling by could cause the Richter to hit 5.1. Don't bother us again until there's an 8.0 or better.”

“LOL!

BTW. I have been through every major quake in LA since 1971 except the Whittier quake in 1988 (I was on the freeway and didn't feel a thing). Loads of fun! My brother lived in Landers during the Landers quake (7.4). The fault went through his yard and under his garage. Shook them up big-time!! He and his kids came out without a scratch. His wife got bruises and sprains. It took us three days to clean up inside his house. The fault rearranged his back yard. I'll scan the photos some day...amazing.”

“I'd like to see what it did to his backyard!!!”
