earthquake
Anybody local feel the shaking?? 2 quakes right after one another---about 25-30 seconds of continual movement made me believe something major had occurred in the San Francisco area. Nope..about a hundred miles from me in another mountain range. That was my excitement for the evening

Re: earthquake
Anybody fascinated with how those multistory buildings in Taiwan are still standing at such an incredible angle after their earthquake? It's crazy to see a building so large leaning so much without touching any other building. Looks like near 60* angle.
How does their building plans differ from ours to enable such a thing? |
Re: earthquake
I don't watch the news, other than getting the weather report from my local news website. So, I'll check a story that shows up that strikes my interest. I didn't see anything. Funny how such things don't make the news. It was real for you I'm sure. I guess it was a low population area, so...

There were actually 5 of them in that area. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthqua...9011,-10.72266 Sometimes it looks like one or two but if you zoom in on it it separates them.... I check the USGS web site almost daily. . |
Re: earthquake
We just had one about ten minutes ago here on the eastcoast, reports say a 4.8 located in Lebanon, New Jersey
I felt it sitting here at the kitchen island and the dish cupboard was rattling |

Re: earthquake
I've seen more talk about the California quakes among people I know. The NJ quake is reported on MD news this morning and it was felt some places in MD. I had one quick jar that made a thump before knowing about the quake. It was so quick I wasn't sure if it wasn't me having some sort of spasm.

Re: earthquake
Any earthquake on the east coast is always a big deal, you mods can downplay all you want. The last one was Aug, 2011 and was a 5.8 in Mineral, Virginia, I felt that one too and it's exactly why I knew this one was an earthquake immediately upon happening.

Sorry, I don't see where any Mods downplayed anything. Personal attacks are not tolerated on this forum, so I edited out your comment on that..... LockDoc, Moderator |

Your own post at 6:37 pm of only 2826 people reported it to USGS when it was actually felt by around 46 million is pure disinformation and actually facetious in my view. Do as you must |

Re: earthquake
The USGS website allows the public to enter your address and if you felt it. The website shows the number of people that do that. That’s probably the number he is referencing. And perhaps the source of some miscommunication.

When I checked the USGS web site and posted, 2826 reports is exactly what it showed. Maybe you should contact The USGS and chew their a$$ out for not updating it quick enough, Just don't call me ignorant or I certainly will flex my authority.. Quote:

Re: earthquake
I've been through a couple of earthquakes, one took down parts of buildings in the area where I work. I don't know anyone who reported it to the USGS. What an I missing here? I don't see how the number of people who report it necessarily has anything to do with the number of people who experienced it. All I can see is that number of people who report it is relevant as an interesting data point.

Re: earthquake
There was a significant one in my old hometown of Sparta, NC before I moved to Maine three years ago. It was significant. 5plus I believe. Often there are mini earthquakes in Eastport, Maine some 15 mile away I don’t feel.

If you fill out the questionnaire you'll see the involvement. Where, intensity, duration, motion etc. anything else significant...it's part of the science. It's more than if you just felt it. I always fill them out. If they can get to the point of prediction..I'm all for it. Although Dutchinse does a pretty close job |

A guy that I work closely with was there on vacation with his family. They were in a taxi on their way to that town that had the buildings tip over. The driver pulled over to the side of the road. My friend said it was 30+ seconds of the most violent movement he'd ever experienced. He was here for Loma Prieta for reference. Police shut down the roads, trains and most any transportation corridors until they could be inspected. My friend and his family sat with their driver on the side of the road for a little over 3 hours. It was around 9 am their time. 6pm or so ours. They ended up having to turn around and head back to their air bnb because a bridge on the way to their destination had collapsed. As far as the quake that we had the other day here, i didn't feel it. Was likely driving at the time. |
