Bay Area earthquake (1 Viewer)

[jonessed]

Any Northern California FBGs feel that? My wife is saying it was a 6.1 near Vallejo.

It's always a bit scary feeling the house shake and waiting to see if if gets any bigger.

Time to go back to bed.

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Glad you're okay.

Also 6.4 in Chile, 5.2 in Western Iran and 3.0 in Big Bear City yesterday and 4.2 in Hawaii on Friday. And Bardarbunga is still blowing its top under the Iceland ice cap. Probably all caused by plate movements.

Interesting - the earthquake was on Franklin Fault, which has been dormant for 1.6 million years.

This reminds me of a line from the movie Grand Piano I watched on a flight yesterday, where his wife said that to him on the phone. Couldn't see him but knew he was biting his nails.

Hopefully for another 1,000 years, then all bets are off.

 

[Tom Servo]

I hope all the Left Coast FBGs are OK.

 

[jonboltz]

completely slept through it in the city. several precarious pictures remain completely unmoved.

Any signs of pets and animals acting out before the quake?

A friend of ours closer to the epicenter said the neighborhood dogs woke her up before the quake started.

Clearly you need to upgrade to a better dog.

 

[El Floppo]

Any North Bay/ Sonoma FBGers here?

Hope they and their stuff are all ok.

My mom, in Sausalito, always responds with a sort of shock that I've called to check in on her after an earthquake...

('89)

- Are you guys ok?!!!

- Oh... hello dear, yes. And you? You should have seen your neice yesterday, she' really learning to...

- Mom!!! The EARTHQUAKE!!!???

- Yes dear?

we refer to her as a cat. she is very different than the other dogs we have had over the years.

At 3:20 am for the first time in 22 years that I've been in the Bay Area I actually felt more than a bump or a roll. 10 seconds of light shaking in my area. Napa area is trashed though and folks are being told to say away from the Napa area as there are still aftershocks going on. Whee!

You know that Lebron doesn't play here, right?

It's been on page 1 with the very ambiguous title of "Bay Area Earthquake" all morning.

Which already exists.

I wonder if any Hondas were destroyed

How many cats do you have?

Not at CN personally, I just thought this was a generally funny comment.

Guys...I'm OK. Thanks for your concern.

6.1 is child's play.

 

[Osaurus]

So 6.0 or 6.1? Liberal media will never get it right.

 

[Rohn Jambo]

You could have gotten a 10 second warning while you were sleeping.

Earthquake was caused by Suge hitting the deck imo.

Depends on how close.

 

[iamsmilin]

Just checking in. Felt the quake and husband and I ran to the kid's room, I grabbed the little girl and he grabbed the boy and we all huddled in the doorway. We were there for a moment until it stopped and stayed there in case of aftershocks. Nothing damaged, everyone fine but my son (10) was scared. He hasn't been through a big quake before. My daughter (5) has no idea what was really going on.

It was not nearly as bad as the loma preieta but bigger than I can remember in a long time.

That's what she said.

 

[Wooderson]

Any signs of pets and animals acting out before the quake?

My dog woke me up at the time off the quake. I didn't feel it but he must of thought something was going on.

Do you hate your kids or something?

Good. Unlike bierfiend's cat, your dog either cares about you or is smart enough to make sure his waitor stays alive.

And where do you suggest we stand?

Depends on how close.

The 5.8 we had here was scary as #### and had the "intensity" of a considerably bigger quake.

It was an intraplate earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 and a maximum perceived intensity of VII (very strong) on the Mercalli intensity scale.

Boobquake?
