Smart Ass Alert!

NOT breaking news tho...

yeah i used to live in ca(went through the loma preitta quake in 89) and 5.3 inst that high by most californians standards but still it seems like that area has been pretty active tonight so hopefully its just the fault blowing off steam

Hopeful as well.

Hasn't been a 5.0+ for awhile tho. I also noticed the 4.9 just shortly afterwards.

Damn, I hate seeing the Big Red Dots down there.

Peace

Yup,

It's the old "Not if but when" conundrum.

It WILL happen. WHEN?

I lived in Chino Hills for a couple years when I was around 8-9 y/o. There were 4.0s all the way up to the 6.8 Northridge quake in '94


California didn't slide in to the Pacific then and it won't now

Meteors cause earthquakes? I never heard of such a thing.

Anyways, is 5.3 a particularly large quake for that area? Just doesn't seem that worrisome to me.

Santa Maria Calif here and felt it as if it was 2.7 - 3. I lived 23 in Fremont so I do know what the different levels feel like. This one down here felt like a roller and I counted 12 seconds. There was no sudden jar just rolling. This is a good indication the it took place a distance away.

I live at China Lake in the high desert about 200 miles away and i felt the 5.3 just before midnight.

But i live in a class A motor home on jacks and its very sensitive to EQ shakng

Nice to have a fortune teller in our midst.

Every disaster in history has had the same naysayers. Those are usually the ones that perish because they just knew more than everyone else...without proof.

Never heard of the idea of meteor slamming into the earth and registering a magnitude either have ya ?
Well I wouldn't be worried if it were both an eathquake and a meteor.

So nah !

The other day i realized how that concept got embedded into my mind for so many years.
I watched superman again.

I felt it all the way in Fresno. it was definitely a roller, felt it roll across the house. Like someone rolled under my chair. havent felt one like that here in a long time.
