California shakin right now....

quakes.globalincidentmap.com...


I always keep this open, and it looks like mexico/cali is shaking.. Im hoping it releases pressure, instead of being foreshocks

nothing big in the LA-ish area

im in bed btw, if it's something, then it's nothing out of the norm

good looking out

They are just little guys.

I'm just north of San Diego and I didn't feel anything. Good to be on the lookout though.

Japan got you a little jumpy?

This isn't typical activity, though I can't say if it's highly unusual -- maybe it happens a few times a year. But I watch the regional quake maps constantly for the last several months, and there's definitely been much more activity in the last week or so than I've seen in that time.

I know theyre nothin big... but one of two things is presumably happening..

1) (the good) release of tension/pressure in the area, so that the states do not have a japan type quake

2) (the bad) foreshocks of a big one. I would say in the next month or so, there is a good likelihood of a 7.0 or higher in that area

Naw. Nothing here in L.A.

I see em' on Live Earthquakes Map but they are all down South and pretty small.

All quiet here...maybe too quiet

I can only imagine what someone from Japan must be thinking:

"A 2.9? Are you out of your bleeping mind? With what WE'RE going through here? Give me that baseball bat. Or that big stick will do. I'll show you a 2.9.... "

Perspective: the great equalizer.

I was in Palm Springs today and i felt a small one or two, it was earlier though, around 1-2pm.

Nothing big maybe a 3 pointer and lasted all of 5 seconds or less.

I still am in the area for work, i haven't felt anything yet either..

Hold on tight folks over there. Solar storm on way... Too many little ones can turn into a big one. I worry my sister lives in CA.

I've noticed the swarm around Cal/Mex border while watching western NV & hope
it's just pressure relief & not a fore shock. Got my britches & Sketchers next to my bed!

Hi I'm here in San Diego..by PB and I have felt 2 so far tonight, looking at the USGS I see there have been a bunch of quakes tonight but small..this morning at about 9:05 am I heard 3 rumbling booms, I checked the USGS at the time I heard this and didn't see any quakes near enough to me to explain the noise. My first thought was this was a precursor to an earthquake... But not a small one..I have my fingers crossed we are not in for a big one..thanks for the post cheers coco

You shouldn't worry, quakes happen everyday in California and most of the time they aren't even felt.

Just thought you should know.

Hi, I am from Los Angeles, that kinda shakin aint worth waking up for. This is L.A. baby, shake rattle and roll.

Regardless of True American's thoughts above, quite a few people I've spoken to recently have been asking me about how prepared California/Oregon/Washington/BC are for a large quake. Most people I know have a global quake map as their homepage these days - so everyone has been noticing the cluster hanging over the NA west coast.

There isn't a lot of logic behind it other than a simple 4 corner observation: Chile, NZ, Japan, North America. People are genuinely concerned. I certainly am, because I know for a fact that most buildings in Vancouver wouldn't have stood up against a 9.0 quake - certainly not in the same way that they did in Sendai.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It's just a matter of time before there's a big one on the west coast. Hopefully it's a long way off, but you never can tell.

Im sorry if this thread seems like doomtard or fear mongering..

Ive only been watching this site since february.. and honestly, ive never seen cali swarm like that, it is kinda how japan looked pre 3-11

I live in California and watch the map every day. I'm quite aware of how many quakes there usually are. This is even more than usual, in different places, at greater magnitudes.
