Red-Handed Jill Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I heard about the earthquake that just hit late this afternoon. I know some you live close enough to have been affected - are you okay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oderlesseye Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) I'm a hundred and twenty miles from the epicenter.. The whole house shook vigorously for almost 30 seconds..Not the rolling kind of quake but the shaker kind...back and forth moving in one direction to the west in waves...Then Eye felt a few after shocks as well at a lower magnitude, kinda surreal.. This reminds me to build up that emergency kit Eye have been procrastinating about. They up graded the quake from 6.9 to 7.2 Edited April 5, 2010 by oderlesseye http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits.

j8ksdad Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 There have been about 20+ small magnitude (but 4.0 or bigger) up the San Andreas Fault this afternoon. What a crazy day here is So Cal. I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Bess Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It was quite the roller! We shook pretty good here in Glendale... lost most of the water in the fish pond. (Lost no fish though....) It's been upgraded to a 7.2 Closed down Disneyland too for about an hour and some of the rides until around 730PM Pays to be cautious Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

LadyBarbossa Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yeah, heard that Disneyland was evacuated. Sounds like it was a hell of a ride. Glad all are ok. Any damage anyone? Besides loss of water? :) ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Rumba Rue Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 We got a pretty good shaking here in San Diego. I was kicking back in the papasan chair in the sun room watching the cats play, Boats was reading the Sunday paper at the family dining table when it hit. I just looked around rather amused at everything hanging and swaying. The wrought iron chandlier over the dining table was really moving! We both agreed if it had been any closer we might have actually had a few things fall down, but it didn't happen and we could tell it was a bit further away. Now mind you through the whole quake, the cats continued to play, the parakeets were happily chirping away, Gilligan was going through his pirate talk and Corky as usual was just occasionally squawking. It felt like we were on jello the way the place was shaking, and on a news cast later, a reporter said the same thing. No water even sloshed out of the aquarium or the cat's water dish. Just a weird jiggling kind of shake a bit hard. I had some friends from Orange County call and they said by the time it got to them in Stanton it was just a good roll. I've felt a few aftershocks, but so far no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Marcus Keys Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) I figured San andreas was next.. just follow the quakes around the world.. Hatai, Mexico then the US.. it follows the America's plates. Hopefully Yellowstone is not next.. Edited April 8, 2010 by Capt.
