Well, I believe Oklahoma is now ahead of California in the number of
earth quakes. Yesterday they had about a dozen up in North Central
Oklahoma. That's talking greater than 3.5. We have only had a
couple greater than 5. Ask the oil companies and they will tell you
that using injection wells to dispose of the water used in fracking
has nothing to do with it.

I personally have only felt 2 of them here in Tulsa but the TV stations
get calls all the time when they happen. There was some damage over
around Edmond in Central Oklahoma last week. At least one home lost
a chimney.

Paintedcow:

That slice of California is actually the edge
of a much larger plate - the Pacific Plate.

So while there is always the chance of a
historic quake, that section will not just
drop into the ocean, as sensationalists
would have us believe.

My contact within the USGS tells me when The Big One hits, everything East of Reno will sink onto the Atlantic and we'll be left.
That's why were called The Left Coast!

Vegas has odds the whole state falls into the ocean. In Nevada, we the
beach front property.

Which says a great deal about the ignorance of Vegas. Seems they don't realize
that the San Andreas is _west_ of San Francisco, and it's a strike-slip fault
where one side is moving north and the other south. So, one day, Los Angeles
will be west of San Francisco instead of south of it.

(sigh) I suppose I will have to move to Calif sometime before dying
just so I can experience one! We had a mild tremor here a year or two
ago (epicenter on AZ/NM border) and it was just barely perceptible
("Hmmm... why is my monitor shaking?")

Would also like to try a hurricane -- but NOT a tornado! :

I was sitting in my home office one morning chatting with my husband and
the house began to move. It was like being lifted up in the air a few
inches and back down several times. My monitor shook, too. We both
looked at each other like, "What the XYZ was that!!? Did you feel

Everyone in the mid west think earthquakes are the reason they will

Southern California. That's not to say earthquakes aren't destructive or
scarry, they most certainly are, but the damage from earthquakes
compared to tornado damage or cyclone [hurricane] damage is small. Yes,
there have been some real nasty shakers here in the past like the Loma
Prieta quake in 1989.

http://www.history.com/topics/1989-s...sco-earthquake

I was watching the world series game in Oakland California when it hit.
That shut down the game, and among other damage, destroyed the Nimitz
Freeway (Interstate 880), just south of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge.

Then there was the big one that hit Los Angeles in 1994;
"On this day in 1994, an earthquake rocks Los Angeles, California,
killing 54 people and causing billions of dollars in damages. The
Northridge quake (named after the San Fernando Valley community near the
epicenter) was one of the most damaging in U.S. history."

We are waiting for "The Big One" to hit here still...

Several of these 3-4 ones around San Andreas in the last few days. A decent
size shakers and few more mud slides and you might just have ocean front
property!

We are fairly close to the San Andreas fault here. there are several
other faults here and in San Diego that slip, but the 'big one' will
cause the most damage and loss of life. The home owners insurance Co.s
are advertizing shaker insurance now and making a bundle. They know
there won't be enough money to rebuild, so they will go BK and live off
the billions instead of paying off homeowners that lost their homes and
their lifetime possessions.

Well, I believe Oklahoma is now ahead of California in the number of
earth quakes. Yesterday they had about a dozen up in North Central
Oklahoma. That's talking greater than 3.5. We have only had a
couple greater than 5. Ask the oil companies and they will tell you
that using injection wells to dispose of the water used in fracking
has nothing to do with it.

north-northwest of Banning, 6 miles northeast of Beaumont and 9 miles
east-southeast of Yucaipa, Southern California.
No one was injured.

There you go Stormy...more better?

You probably have them all the time.

I missed our last one in DE as I was riding in the car at the time and
vibrations did not come through.

Maybe 40 years ago I woke up to what sounded like a big truck driving
down the street to go back to sleep and read in next day's paper that we
had an earthquake.

(sigh) I suppose I will have to move to Calif sometime before dying
just so I can experience one! We had a mild tremor here a year or two
ago (epicenter on AZ/NM border) and it was just barely perceptible
("Hmmm... why is my monitor shaking?")

Would also like to try a hurricane -- but NOT a tornado! :

I was sitting in my home office one morning chatting with my husband and
the house began to move. It was like being lifted up in the air a few
inches and back down several times. My monitor shook, too. We both
looked at each other like, "What the XYZ was that!!? Did you feel
that?" Sure enough it was on the news that we'd had an earth quake.

Was it a fun ride? The 6.2 roller we had back in 1969 was a fun ride
until we saw the damage it did and the loss of life it caused. Any
shakers we get now reminds us of the damage and loss of life a big quake
can cause.

It was more a feeling of 'what the heck'! lol

Your reading audience is all over USA, Canada,
and some countries east of Atlantic Ocean.
Perhaps some more information is in order.
What state and nation, please?

Hope no one was injured, and damage was small.

Sorry 'bout that.
Since I am in So. Cal. I assume everyone here knows that. Afterall, I
was #8 in the post parade, no?

We have had a few bumps in the night lately that are most likely small
quakes, but they are no big deal and not reported on local news.

Everyone in the mid west think earthquakes are the reason they will
never go to
So. Cal. but I think the tornadoes the mid west have to deal with is
way more
destructive than the earthquakes we get here in Southern California.
That's not
to say earthquakes aren't destructive or scarry, they most certainly
are, but
the damage from earthquakes compared to tornado damage or cyclone
[hurricane]
damage is small. Yes, there have been some real nasty shakers here in
the past
like the Loma Prieta quake in 1989.

Tornados tend to be highly localized (and, only strike trailer parks!
).
Hurricanes being much broader in their impact (and, usually flood damage
instead of the "percussive" damage from flying stuff)

A friend rode out Andrew ('92) and said it was an interesting
experience.
I think having to cower in an interior room would sort of defeat the
experience... all you'd (hopefully!) experience was noise and some
shaking -- wouldn't be able to SEE what was happening.

I was watching the world series game in Oakland California when it
hit. That
shut down the game, and among other damage, destroyed the Nimitz
Freeway
(Interstate 880), just south of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

Then there was the big one that hit Los Angeles in 1994;
"On this day in 1994, an earthquake rocks Los Angeles, California,
killing 54
people and causing billions of dollars in damages. The Northridge
quake (named
after the San Fernando Valley community near the epicenter) was one of
the most
damaging in U.S. history."

We are waiting for "The Big One" to hit here still...


Supposedly, the New Madrid fault just due south of IL has some potential
for significant damage. OTOH, the populations affected, there, aren't
what they would be in (anywhere!) Calif.

The idea of the *ground* moving is just fascinating to me! It's one
thing to be on a man-made structure and experience motion (Harvard
Bridge, Royal Gorge Bridge, tall buildings, etc.); yet another to be on
"solid ground" and feel it move!

We've had tornadoes, have weakened hurricanes come through, and now
we're getting regular earth quakes, too.

Really? Shakers in the midwest are very rair, at least they aren't
reported often. That's all you need...a windy and rainy storm with a
shaker and a mixer to boot. 8-o

We play dodge tornado quite often. When it's the season tracking them
street by street can be akin to a sport, even. lol

At least you can see a twister coming. You can't 'see' a quake.

We can't always see them and have to often rely on the weather reporters
or storm chasers for locations. Occasionally, a tv station will be
filming live from towers, so we can see when transformers blow up and
know about what street they're on.

Still beachfront and island realestate after the big one hits. Buy now
at bargan basement prices!

And none too soon!

Dey gotz itz awl wong.
My contact within the USGS tells me when The Big One hits, everything East of Reno will sink onto the Atlantic and we'll be left.
That's why were called The Left Coast!

We will all have to change our name to Bob. That will throw the newsreader
