EARTHQUAKE: near Cali and AZ, Ok this is somewhat significant [View all] nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 OP

Yep 6.4 is significant malaise Oct 2013 #1

I guess no news is good news nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #2

Of course you felt nothing. Codeine Oct 2013 #18

...and two smaller ones near the Yellowstone caldera in the last 2 days. roamer65 Oct 2013 #3

The caldera is far enough I am sure they are independent nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #4

Hard to say, Nadin. roamer65 Oct 2013 #9

That is one thing Professor Abbott (A local geologist) nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #10

that's not near California AZ Mike Oct 2013 #5

The Gulf of California is NOT anywhere near Texas. nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #7

That quake is as close to Texas as it is to California. MineralMan Oct 2013 #13

The Sea of Cortez and the Gulf of California are one and the same, FWIW. cbayer Oct 2013 #19

Professional journalists can't be bothered with things like facts and names Codeine Oct 2013 #22

I know, Gulf of California is the usage mostly in the US nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #33

I've always like the name 'Vermilion Sea' for that one, but I'm not petronius Oct 2013 #40

And we all learn something new nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #41

I've not heard that used much. Sea of Cortez is the preferred name cbayer Oct 2013 #46

John Steinbeck favored that name Brother Buzz Oct 2013 #47

So sorry about your boat. cbayer Oct 2013 #49

I think it's pretty archaic, and unusual even in that context. I just wish it would petronius Oct 2013 #48

Not planning on returning at this point, but will hopefully have internet access off cbayer Oct 2013 #50

Wow, even more exciting petronius Oct 2013 #51

Thanks so much, petronius. cbayer Oct 2013 #52

I'm confused then. AZ Mike Oct 2013 #28

The copy and paste in the op states Brother Buzz Oct 2013 #32

I said near AZ and Caifornia, not Juarez. If I am to be very exact, Hermosillo and Guaymas are the nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #34

I just eyeballed the map Codeine Oct 2013 #31

Give it a rest. zappaman Oct 2013 #36

I am as humbled by your post Codeine Oct 2013 #37

Yikes! MoonRiver Oct 2013 #6

Near is subjective Brother Buzz Oct 2013 #8

"Significant" as well, it looks like. Brickbat Oct 2013 #20

That's like five hundred miles from California, give or take. Codeine Oct 2013 #11

No. That's not near California. MineralMan Oct 2013 #12

Almost as bad as saying "Frisco" grasswire Oct 2013 #14

Yes. Annoying. MineralMan Oct 2013 #15

Uttering that abominable word is a High Misdemeanor in the City. Brother Buzz Oct 2013 #23

get over yourself FirstLight Oct 2013 #16

Nice. Your little smilie is really cool, bro. MineralMan Oct 2013 #21

To be fair, if you're going to shorten 500+ miles to "near" Codeine Oct 2013 #17

That reminds me, whatever happened to Az? He/she used to be one of my favorite posters n/t Fumesucker Oct 2013 #24

Didn't feel a thing in Los Angeles. kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #26

Me either. zappaman Oct 2013 #27

I should think not. Codeine Oct 2013 #30

From the shake map Hermosillo barely did nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #35

Did you ever give any updates pintobean Oct 2013 #29

I don't have much experience with earthquakes but we had one last summer or the one before. hrmjustin Oct 2013 #38

Yup, old rock tends to carry it better nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #39

Wait a minute... Lady Freedom Returns Oct 2013 #42

Tucson would be at the outer edge of where you would feel it, if you did nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #43

It was not really that much. Lady Freedom Returns Oct 2013 #44

Sounds about right. nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #45

From what I heard on the news there is no major damage. hrmjustin Oct 2013 #54

Mexico has good engineering nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #55
