"""Still rockin and rollin I see. Mexican guy interviewed on CNN right now said the earth opened up near where he was and water started coming up out of the rift! """

Can i have a vid or a link pls?

reply to post by Austria


Nope, sorry... I saw it very briefly on CNN about an hour ago.

Here is another report from cnn. Not the same interview but has much information and vidio

Ya know, I have read a lot of reports of people feeling dizzy right before the big quake struck. I wonder if this is normal?

That is interesting - maybe barowmetric pressure does play a part - wonder if there was a sharp rise or fall just prior to the 7.2 -

How to post a picture:
The only way that I know is to copy it to you hard drive, then upload under "member tools." Then click on the picture and three lines will show up under the photo. The third one is what you want. Make sure you get the entire address. Move the cusor to the end of the line until you have the end ]. Then go to the post and copy the address into the post. When it shows up in the thread, the picture will be there. Hope that was clear enough.

*Yawn* Good morning fellow seismo-surfers Bit of a grotty Tuesday morning here at the bottom of the world - rainy/cold autumn morning - soI need to keep typing to keep fingers warm (good job I'm a writer!).

Did I miss anything?


Zachi - thanks for picture info - I will try that later when I am more awake!

Good Morning - only a few hundred quakes - and one in yellowstone - but other than that - nope - your good

So are we now reporting only 3.5+?

I still think they must have loads of quakes elsewhere in the world to add in - can't believe the rest of the globe was silent during the Cali quakes.

Yes, I appears so.. Oh, while on watch today - i decided to only post 3.0 and above - for thread room purposes - you all can do something different - just thought being it's on the downswing at the moment.

Oh - and been trying to do it hourly

The seismo? Which one is the seismo? Not that I am doubting you mind - just want to see for myself.

This one shows it VTV.CI..BHZ.2010.095 and this one really shows it USC.CI..BHZ.2010.095

Still looking. Here is a cracker. SWS.CI..BHZ.2010.095

Yes, because (as far as I know) tectonic mechanics may create different kind of "signals" when generating an earthquake. It happens that the signals that carry more force are slower. So, normally, the fastest but weaker signals arrive first, people may feel them and think they are dizzy (Thus, you may not recognize the earth IS moving), some seconds later the stronger signals arrive.

I remember very well this phenomena having live a 8 mag earthquake, first it was just a tiny sensation (that I come to realize because i put my arms over some furniture) then, the really scary thing began.
