So Cal Du'ers\ quake

[nadinbrzezinski]

nice rolling quake huh? Hope nothing serius happened

[Emboldened Chimp]

1. Where? I didn't feel anything...

[nini]

2. when?

I didn't feel a thing....

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Five minutes ago, tops

san diego... met me see what I find in the news

[Sequoia]

26. Sob, that's Chick Hearn there

[Jack_Dawson]

3. Rollling = Sarcastic I hope

Damn that woke me up.

[silverweb]

5. Is that what that was?

I felt one huge jolt and everything in the room rattled. It felt like the whole building jumped about a foot. It's been years since I felt a quake of any kind.

[jackstraw45]

20. What city/town are you both in?

I was in the car in Simi Valley and wonder if I would have felt it.

[silverweb]

22. City of San Diego...

...about 15 minutes inland from the coast.

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Didn't feel it

But co-workers in San Diego felt it.

Any word where it centered?

[jackstraw45]

23. Bigger one here

[maveric]

7. I just got home and my kids told me about the quake.

I was driving around in my truck and didnt even feel it.

[lazarus]

8. Aye

USGS is saying a 4.5 in Agoura Hills, but we felt it fairly strongly here in San Diego.

Might want to edit the subject line to include "quake".

[ronnykmarshall]

10. That has to be wrong

Agoura Hills is north of LA and we didn't feel it here. My partner is in Encino and didn't feel it.

[lazarus]

14. they're still collating data

Now we're seeing two fairly big ones.

[Mike Niendorff]

9. USGS puts it at a 4.7

25. the first one is now gone

phantom quake!

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Local news broke to tell us

yep that was an earthquake....

4.7 magnitude

By the way our sun conure has been skitish for about a week...

She was born and until six months ago living in Hawaii... goes to
prove, animals do have some predictive value... she is now on my
shoulder leaning against my cheek

[Cat Atomic]

13. I never feel anything under a 6.

:p

[lazarus]

12. now it's a 5.1

Off shore.

17. appears there were actually TWO quakes -- one 4.7, one 5.1

see my previous posts for USGS links.


MDN

[Mike Niendorff]

24. never mind -- they've now pulled the 4.7 one from their maps.

eom.


MDN

[lazarus]

27. they're now reporting

that the 5.1 off shore is the "official" one, and has been reviewed by a seismologist.

[Snow]

15. Daggone! You mean this one?

http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/ca/STORE/X14065544/ciim_display.html

I didn't even notice it, and I'm a fair bit closer than you are in SD (Pasadena).

On edit: my mistake - looks like you were shaking because of this one:

Now I don't feel so bad.
Hmmm, kind of a busy day quake-wise, eh? Can we blame it on bush?

[Journeyman]

21. Can't blame it on Bush. It's our own damn fault. . .

n/t for a bad pun

[catzies]

18. Map shows TWO quakes within minutes of each other.

Mojave and Baja.

DAMN.

[Don_G]

19. It Looks Like Two Quakes In The Area

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latestfault.htm

[HawkerHurricane]

28. Good news/bad news...

You want a bunch of small quakes, to relieve pressure on the fault lines.

BUT

It can be the precurser to a big one...

I'll let you know if California falls into the sea, if you'll let me know if America East of the Rockies does...

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. After many years in rescue services I

hope it is just small ones releasing pressure.... but will let you know... seems our local alarm (sun comure) has calmed down... her first earthquake... how cute.

If she again gets skitish I will again know something's up...

I wish all them reports of animals getting skitish were taken a tad more seriously... my three birds do get skitish before quakes
