Doom Metal Alchemist Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I've never felt any earthquakes here in the first, I wanna say 21 years I lived here, and in the past, maybe 3, I've felt 4. The first two a few years ago were about a week or two a part, then of course the last two were yesterday and today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarPanda Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Dude I felt the one on the 4th of July but I dint feel the one today. Its probably because I was taking a shower. My mom called me asking If I was doing alright and i was like I dint feel anything. Crazy thing both of them have happened around the same area. They felt it out in Vegas Edited July 6, 2019 by StarPanda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure did, but I'm at the southeast corner of LACo so it was minor for me. The one an hour and a half ago, I was in my car and felt the car move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one an hour and a half ago, I was in my car and felt the car move. Yeah it was minor for me too in Fresno. It just blows my mind we're actually feeling earthquakes here at all now. I experienced quite a few quakes in my childhood when I lived in the Bay Area (my first one was the big one in 1989, fucking scared the shit out of me). After I moved here in 1995, I didn't feel any more quakes until I briefly moved to Irvine in 2013. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It's funny, but this earthquake just now was reminiscent of the Whittier quake. I was in a car for that one too, and it came back to me as I was sitting at a light for this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing felt here in the South Bay Area. I’m usually sensitive to them too. I woke up from a 4 point something 30 miles away before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Szanboti Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I was looking at the Did You Feel It? maps the USGS has and lol, they had people reporting all the way to the Canadian border. Yeah, no. Quite a few reported from Sacto, but I didn't feel either one of these. I can't stand watching the news for very long because the reporters are all idiots. It was downright painful watching them grilling the USGS guy and the CalTech seismologist hoping to get them to either say science is just totally useless because we can't perfectly predict earthquakes, or to say something they can whip up a hyperbolic panic over. Ah jeez, I'm an Elder now? Way to twist the knife, boards. Edited July 6, 2019 by Gina Szanboti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Dr. Lucy is always so gracious, though. And, to be fair, everytime we have an earthquake, everybody needed a primer on the different kind of faults, the difference between a fault system and a plate boundary, and what the Richter measurement compares to in order of magnitude.

Gina Szanboti Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 That stuff is fine. Good in fact. Not what I'm talking about. "So you're saying there's never been an aftershock with a greater magnitude than the quake preceding it? (Is this the APOCALYPSE?!!)" "No, that's not all that unusual. (names several)" "Is this going to trigger the San Andreas fault? (Is CA going to fall into the sea?") "Nope, too far away. We've had major quakes a lot closer, so not going to happen." "Why didn't the alert system warn everybody!!? (Scientists are useless!)" "We didn't have it set up right for L.A., the cutoff points were too low. It worked fine near the epicenter. The system didn't fail, our expectations were wrong. (Yeah, our bad, sorry.)" "What about X Fault? Is that one going off next? When was the last time it had one this big? (Is the APOCALYPSE tomorrow?)" "Pleistocene, I think. Prehistoric definitely. (cool your jets, there are other important things to worry about.)" It just gets on my nerves the way they question them and what they keep asking, because it's clear what they're fishing for is either a scandal (Alert System FAILED!!!) or a fearmongering headline, and not useful information. They both did a good job of handling them, but it was too annoying to keep watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt these ones, yeah. I'm about 100 miles south of the epicenter. It wasn't destructive but it was strong. And it freaked my dogs out.

The propensity of turning everything into a breaking news cycle has created this kind of non stop meaningless jabber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
