Things are shaking up here in LA county

I'm glad my idea made sense and that I was able to convey what I visualized.

When I looked at where you are in relation to the epicentre I was equally surprised that you hadn't felt anything either. It got me to thinking and it made me recall a post I made in an old HOAX thread that spawned a thread titled A Discussion on the Methodology of Earthquake Prediction.

More specifically from the linked post was this particular image that came to mind:



You'll note that there are areas of increased energy and decreased energy based upon the patterns created as the waves interact with each other. I think that it's entirely plausible.

I'm no Geologist, but that's a lot of quakes at .2 km depth or less (I mean really 0.0km?) seems odd, and today over in Anza Cal. their EQ was at 13.1km (much more reasonable, if there is such a thing).

Is this normal EQ behavior?

Better watch that hinny. It's already got a crack in it.
I guess the west coast learns to live with earthquakes like the Midwest lives with tornadoes or the south east lives with hurricanes. You guys sound pretty casual about the whole thing. A few years back when we had that one here in Virginia it was all anyone talked about for days. We were not nearly as nonchalant as you west coast folks.

I find it interesting that the quakes are lining up in a W/E fasion, vs following the known faults which run N/S.

Check it out:

Hope that plate is done settling.

That's what I'm getting at. This doesn't seem like a " normal" quake.

That's cause you guys in Cali ain't used to frack quakes....welcome to the world of FRACKING!

Just had another quake. 4.5 this time

ETA
CalTech is reporting 4.1

They're in for quite a welcome to the downsides, if this is related. Whoever approved fracking within seismic zones ought to be in prison. Simple as that. I hate fracking, period. Some places for it should be obvious beyond any need to explain for...BAD idea.

I would not worry. Since 1989, California hasn't gotten a destructive quake. I think that quake let off so much energy that all its got left is 5.5s maximum. Good news for you west coast folks.

I should be a scientist and be given a scientific award for my theory

1989!!!! Are you serious? What about the 1994 Northridge Earthquake? Who are you to tell us out here in Los Angeles, not to worry? What's wrong with you?

The Northridge quake took out a section of the 5, 10 and 118 freeways. Killed dozens injured thousands and destroyed tons of property.

I think that one counts too...smh.

ETA
Besides the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake was 7 hours away up in San Francisco, not Los Angeles.

I have a few relatives who live right on top of the epicenter and their house is a complete mess.

Whew! That's nuts. I couldn't imagine sitting right on top of this thing.

I hope you all stay safe and prepared as we all keep our eyes wide open 👍

I think I'm going to fix a screwdriver. Seems appropriate right about now

Just recently, news stories have been popping up about fracking for natural gas I think. I can't remember what parts of town it is, but their definitely trying to get it banned.

Seems like it would be a no brainer right

Long Beach Fracking

Im thinking this 5.1 you guys had yesterday and numerous aftershocks have something to do with the 4.4 that happened a cpl weeks ago.. just north of this 5.1 If thats the case.. what kinda of pressure or release will be followed in the surrounding areas?

There are so many kinds of wrong with this post, that I'm not going to take the time to point them out.

I DO hope you were joking.

My son is now in LA at Disneyland. I really don't like this. I had hoped it was done.

I called them and they are okay but their pets are going nuts.

Keep an eye on the pets ~~~

~~~~ they have a radar that is better than anything man made.

I wish the same were true for my two dogs. One seems to bark at the wind and sleep through the earthquakes, while the other runs every time to see what he's barking at...smh. What a pair eh?

Seriously, I think it's because like many people, they've never experienced a quake until now. Maybe they're just as clueless about the quakes as some humans are that have never experienced one.

Just a thought.
