SoCal shaking

Recommended Posts

It was about 6 miles north of my home. I hadn't felt the earlier 3.5, but this 5.4 was the most powerful thing I've felt for quite awhile. I'm seeing reports from a few of my friends in all the way out to LAX, but at least one other friend out by Perris didn't even notice it. The epicenter is about half way between the two.

A LOT of that has to do with the particular piece of ground you happen to live on, some pieces are more prone to transmit the energy than others and wave propagation isn't exactly omnidirectional either.

As I wrote that last sentence, we just had a small rolling aftershock.

ETA

Just had another Perris friend say it was "exciting."

Your post made me think of when I was on the phone with my sister in the early '80s. I was in O.C. and she lived in Riverside. While we were talking and an earthquake hit (must have been about 4.5 ish), and I asked her if she felt it, and she said no. About 30 seconds later, it hit her and she freaked out! :D

She tells the story about how she had advanced seismic warning! B|

So who felt it?And any damage?

Rialto, Ca. Shook my place pretty good. Worse than the 4.something 3 miles away a few months ago. Finally getting used to them after 12 yrs. here. Still rather be having a hurricane party in Fl.

My Mom called me up this morning, and in the biggest theatrical voice (that you can imagine, but still be totally serious) and said
"I'm OK!"

I said "Glad to hear this." I was totally clueless as to the earthquake, BTW.

And then she was upset that I wasn't. :S It was only a 5. Sheesh!



Am I bad daughter?

Hell no! Old, really old moms sometimes lose touch with reality. Wife and I are seeing it with her mom. It's not fun though. [:/]

Was in Loma Linda. Was sleeping. The rattling of the headboard woke me up. Once I realized where I was, I got up and went to ask my wife whether she felt what I felt. She did. So I wasn't just having a dream.

I'll be there Tue. Need a good laywer. Got the bill for my shoulder surgery. 25K for two blood tests the morning of surgey. 44K for 5 hrs In and out.

She's lived 60 out her 80 years in So. Cal. so I think this was more of a "guilt call" than the "earthquake really shook me up" call. :P She's still pretty sharp and generally knows what's up, not like my dad who died of early onset Alzheimers. He started losing it in his late 40's and didn't die till he was 70. That was a long process. :(

Late 40's??? God.... That sucks. So sorry you had to deal with that.[:/]

Pretty sure Yellowstone isn't anywhere near SoCal, so not really worried about shakers there. However, if the Yellowstone super volcano blew, that would be a world-wide problem; not just "you guys."

The last time one of the big calderas let loose was Lake Toba on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

Damn... and I thought Kratakoa was a bad motherfucker when it blew in the late 1800's.
