Well I see a couple guys near Gilroy, CA still attached to my IRC server. I think the
left coast is still intact.

well, falling into the ocean must explain why it is so damp outside.

5.8. Damage, but not bad. 1980 close by 5.8 cost me about $5k for a
cracked swimming pool. Greenville Fault.

Felt pretty strong here in Yuma. I actually got up and walked outside.
When I checked USGS it said 5.9. Actually felt like a light quake, then a
heavier quake, and then some very light aftershocks. Lasted quite a while
as local quakes go.

Never made it to my place, 140 miles north of LA..but on the other side
of a rather large mountain range.

OOOOOH!! Id not thought about those!! Damn.

I hope not too many camposinos got killed, and most of the drug
importers did, along with tons of their stock in trade.

If you felt it - there is a questionnaire that helps calibrate sensors
beyond what the lab does. The second hyperlink has more options.

It is between Mexicali and Guadalupe Victoria.

Yea - we were in that one big time.
My property - the 7 acres of coastal Redwoods - moved 7 feet north-west.
Some properties split apart. I want to say the house was less than ten
miles crow flies.

The chain saw (20") saw lots of use that week.

Yep. I filled out the questionaire about 15 minutes after the last after
shock I felt. Maybe 30 minutes after the peak activity.

It was actually caused by 3,000 illegals all running in unison for the
border outside Calexico. Set up a helluva vibration.

When the big one hits, everything East of the San Andreas fault is going
to break off and slide into the Atlantic Ocean.


That would be GREAT. Then I'd have ocean front property here in Apple
Valley. Well, actually, we'd be about 12 miles from the ocean, but
close enough!

But most of San Francisco would still be to the East of the fault.

Wow, you're right. I thought it ran farther inland and farther north.
I can't see a Joshua Tree National Monument and Ocean Park, though.

Looky there, it passes right through Frazier Park, near the peak of
the Grapevine (I-5's tallest hill in CA). Taft will be close to the
new shoreline and probably grow immensely. g

Then again, California can't "fall off into the Pacific" because the
Pacific Plate is on top, overlapping the North American Plate.

Tomales Bay is the fault line. Pt. Reyes actually lines up about 330 miles
south with the same rocks, etc. A couple million years and Los Angeles will
be next to San Francisco.
