40. Has a sister and 7 brothers all ages, though. Just talked to one of her brothers on the phone and they're driving out toward Trona to the fault line. Other brother called into the plant to assess damages. 2 of her brothers have power at their houses. As you probably know, he said a couple gas stations are open and lined up out the door.
If you ever see a big Snap-on tool truck in town, that's one of my brother-in-laws
Pretty sure the only Snap-on guy in town is down the hill from me a block or three from Eastridge Market. I drive by the "Snap-on house" every day. It has power atm. I am 57. Any of them up there like me?
That's him. Lives right across from the Jehovah's Witness church. We usually come out every couple years. My oldest in laws are early 50s.
What a small world. The house I flipped last summer was three doors from the JW church. I spent my HS years a nine iron in the other direction. Mid 50s and went to Burroughs, we would probably know each other by name at least. It was that small a town back then. Early 50s, I was long gone.
Apparently < 5.0 since the Earthquake Robot didn't register it.
caltech reported 3.5 11 miles ESE of Little Lake. Which puts it at the base of the Coso Mountains on the Navy Base. The distance between these quakes has been about 25 miles from Trona to Little Lake. The Little Lake ones seem to hit a little harder for some reason, jolts as opposed to rolling.
There's two. The one that had the fire is where I have been helping out. The military evacuation has created paranoia in my inner circle. "They know, they know... the big one is coming." So a pretty large extended family migration to Vegas is underway. I might go. I want to stay.

I just checked and was surprised to see that you’re only about 45 mins closer to Vegas than I am. I need to brush up on my local geography.There's two.

Yes we go backwards for 45 minutes to get the 58. As the crow flies we are much closer.
I think this is the better story. I have driven around the whole town several times and it looks same as it ever was. Not only are there NO major building collapses, there is little road damage, very few lost homes. Businesses are opening. I'm getting tires. Most fast food is open. Walmart is open. Home Depot is open. It is very close to just another day here. And that is amazing.
Right before the 1989 quake in SF there was one of a similar magnitude in Khazakstan that killed something like 50,000 people. Pretty good reminder of how good we have it here.

Keep in mind a few things.

In all sincerity, take care everyone that is out there.
haha. they are tiny. i believe this is over. we'll see. i stayed. my daughter is coming back. the family that went to vegas just made a big family drama fight bs. so glad to be here in the land gritty stone carved mfers.
1995 was nada for damage too. I think the building regulations is a good story. we were shook like few places have been shook and i cannot find one issue with my house and a dozen neighbors homes. my sis had a branch take out some spanish tiles on her roof. my nephew thought it was fun. his house undamaged. and on and on. we are fine.
well we are fortunate because of the locations. had this hit LA, SF, even SD... it would be a catastrophe. there would be many dead and untold damages.
also we have hundreds of faults out here. a hundred earthquakes a day is very common. we just rarely feel them. so some pressure built up and released. no real harm done. nice to know we can withstand so much and have mcdonald's open for breakfast, the infrastructure in good condition, no serious injuries, and very minor damage. gas water electricity all good.
Arson is one of the hardest things to prove. The fire Marshall can certainly tell if a fire was intentionally set- proving who did it and that it was intentional is the hard part. And LO-FN-L at an insurance adjuster having any qualifications to prove anything.
Still... just had an interesting bouncy one. Literally bounced things vertically for 7-8 seconds. Was different. Had a bigger 4.5 an hour and a half ago.flapgreen said:

On a semi-related note, this came across my feed the other day: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/04/17/us/san-francisco-earthquake-seismic-gamble.htmlBucky86 said:
