Dear daughter doesn't remember the REALLY big ones from when she was little... Northridge, Whittier, Landers, and Hector Mine. Just a reminder from Mother Nature that I better speed up on my preparations!

I wonder what some ppl at work are going to say. Because of the quakes at both ends of a rather long line of faults (Yorba Linda, many 3+ quakes, and Westwood 4.1) I very definitively said that I thought there was going to be a big quake sometime in the next 6 months on that same fault, somewhere in-between... yanno, somewhere near my house!

This isn't really what I had in mind. I meant BIG, not moderate. I still think we're going to have a big one sometime in the next six months. Yep- time to get those preparations completed!

Were those all little fore-shocks? Not sure from the time-stamps.

I was at work in Torrance for the big one at 9:15 PM last night, was very busy at a rush job, and didn't even feel it. Didn't know 'till the end of my shift, it was on the TV News in the lunch room.

Hi there NOBC

They were just copy/ paste off the USGS website. If you google . did you feel it . you'll go directly to a webpage that lists earthquakes and allows you to register what you felt, what damage occurred (if any) etc. It allows them to gather statistical information on Richter, moments, and surface effects, perception and injuries.

It wasn't quite as violent where I live compared to others, but it was just the right frequency to rock items off of shelves, counter tops etc for about 10-15 seconds. And after that the ground quivered like a bowl of jello for about a minute.

Anyway ... what I posted was just a listing of very recent significant earthquakes, all separate and all on different faults.

Rappy, in case you didn't know, the Richter scale is logarithmic. So for every unit of 1 the scale goes up, the earthquake intensity is 10 times greater. That makes our recent 5.1 earthquake 10 times larger than your 4.1. Just sayin'.

Knew it since HS, dearie.

But I didn't know it was a contest. Quakes are pretty rare here on the East coast. I can't recall having experiencing any such event, so I'm glad it was small. And 1 state over. Friends of mine near the epicenter though, felt it a great deal more.

Whozit- those little 3,4, and 5-point quakes don't release enough energy to stop a big one. As KIKI mentioned, the scale is logarithmic, so we would need to experience 1000 5-point quakes before it released as much energy as a 7-point. Haven't had 1000 5-point quakes lately, so the big one is still waiting in the wings.

So, when there is a REALLY big one... I don't mean a 7-point on the infamous San Andreas fault, I mean a 7-point on the Puente Hills fault... the Los Angeles metro area will be out of commission for at least two weeks - no water, no electricity, no gas, no food, no roads, no ambulances, no medicine, no nothing for miles and miles and miles. Not a Superstorm Sandy, more like a Hurricane Katrina or a Hurricane Haiyan. 'Cause we all know in So Cal, or at least we all SHOULD know, that the Big One is in our future, we just don't know when. Everyone should be prepared to survive on their own. Not for the three days that people are told, but for about two weeks, because that is about as long as it takes to get emergency services to all parts of a really big disaster. That's what I'm aiming to do, at least as long as I live here. (If I were living elsewhere, I'd be preparing for something different- in Buffalo, it would be blizzards, spring floods, and the occasional oddball tornado.)

Oh, I didn't think you were complaining. But as a transplant I find earthquakes terrifically interesting. So years ago when I typed did you feel it into google after a quake - and got an honest to goodness USGS web link of that exact name - I was thrilled. (Doesn't take much for a nerd, I guess.) And I thought the human engineering of using that name was very clever. I was just sharing something I really like AND find useful!

Anyway - you sound busy. Last few months that's been my story too. These 60 hour weeks are killers.

OK, revise the early reports to " NO REPORTED DAMAGE as of this time.", and subsequent reports to "very minor damage." There were some water mains broken, too...

I think they're also counting one fatality-- some guy whose car was flipped by the shock and it killed him.

Pointless bean counting-- in the grand scheme of things, no more disruption than everyday events.


When the "Big One" hits LA, no preparation will do any good-- all the Earthquake survival kits, and earthquake supply and equipment containers (My employer has one on site.) will not be enough. There will be massive loss of life, incredible property damage, and failure of transportation and communication for many days. And all the preppers with their "zombie apocalypse" firearms and stashes will be useless.

NOBC- I disagree that "no preparation will do any good". That will be correct for some. If a parking lot or high-rise collapses on you, whatever preparations you made will be be for naught.

If you're not killed outright, but trapped in the rubble or severely injured, you will also probably die.

But if you survive... and there will be many survivors... then preparation makes a difference.

Two entirely different issues.

Apples and oranges.

There was no show of concern for the 1 quake, while there was for the other.

Even though quakes in the SE United States are very rare, in comparison to the West coast.

And also ? I didn't get the memo that we were comparing quake magnitude. Yours is bigger ? LOL. Well, duh. In a part of the world where there's like A LOT of seismic activity, and such events are more common ?

"I didn't get the memo that we were comparing quake magnitude."

That would be magnitudeS. When you're talking about two or more, you need to use plurals.

"I don't recall any compassion from anyone when I endured the S.Carolina Feb 14 quake, felt here in Atlanta."

And, well, ahem, if you can follow your own sentence from its beginning to its end, maybe you can answer this question: if your earthquake was small, and therefore did no damage, why do you expect 'compassion' for what you 'endured'?

Puente Hills Fault
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Puente Hills Fault (also known as the Puente Hills thrust system) is an active geological fault that is located in the Los Angeles Basin in California. The thrust fault was discovered in 1999 and runs about 40 km (25 mi) in three discrete sections from the Puente Hills region in the southeast to just south of Griffith Park in the northwest. The fault is known as a blind thrust fault due to a lack of surface features normally associated with thrust faults. Large earthquakes on the fault are relatively infrequent but computer modeling has indicated that a major event could have substantial impact in the Los Angeles area. One moderate earthquake in 1987 and another light event took place in 2010, with the former causing considerable damage and deaths.





Whittier Fault
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Whittier Fault is a geologic fault located in eastern Los Angeles County in Southern California, that is one of the two upper branches of the Elsinore Fault Zone, with the Chino Fault the second.

Global warming and hurricanes: the potential impact of hurricane intensification and sea level rise on coastal flooding

Abstract

Tens of millions of people around the world are already exposed to coastal flooding from tropical cyclones. Global warming has the potential to increase hurricane flooding, both by hurricane intensification and by sea level rise. In this paper, the impact of hurricane intensification and sea level rise are evaluated using hydrodynamic surge models and by considering the future climate projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. For the Corpus Christi, Texas, United States study region, mean projections indicate hurricane flood elevation (meteorologically generated storm surge plus sea level rise) will, on average, rise by 0.3 m by the 2030s and by 0.8 m by the 2080s. For catastrophic-type hurricane surge events, flood elevations are projected to rise by as much as 0.5 m and 1.8 m by the 2030s and 2080s, respectively.


Hope your offspring made no major property purchases in Texas - or Florida.

That would be magnitudeS. When you're talking about two or more, you need to use plurals.



My, you ARE quite the little control freak, aren't you ? Trying to unseat Siggy ?

MAGNITUDE, if we're dealing with that as the measure of intensity, as opposed to the damage done by each event.

Singular. Not plural.

And, well, ahem, if you can follow your own sentence from its beginning to its end, maybe you can answer this question: if your earthquake was small, and therefore did no damage, why do you expect 'compassion' for what you 'endured'?




Because it was rare ? It was in S. Carolina, yet felt all the way here, in Atlanta ? *I* felt it ? I could go on, but I doubt you'd be able to follow.

You seldom do.

So some Democrats are running on pointing out that the Healthcare.gov rollout was an unmitigated disaster

I feel so vindicated.

"Just glad that some Democrats are acknowledging the bad job done in developing Healthcare.com." "it'll be interesting to see if these same Democrats acknowledge" "these Democrats seem to understand what the real Obama Kool-Ade drinkers still won't address" " it's about Democrats using criticism of the rollout in their campaign ads".

Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. • A 4.8 earthquake shook the northern part of Yellowstone National Park early Sunday.

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports the earthquake occurred at 6:34 a.m. about 4 miles north-northeast of the Norris Geyser Basin. The university reports it was felt in the Montana border towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner, both about 20 miles from the epicenter.

So, since I'm keeping score, this is how it stacks up:

kiki wins
reichtwhinge loses

After posting a simple item about the REAL WORLD, the rechtwhinge instantly trolled with off-topic snark. Since then, they've totally failed to address the topic, and continue to show that they're nothing but trolls.

Wasn't enough ? What's that even suppose to mean ? Seriously, what are you smoking ?

"Double standard" ? I do not believe that means what you think it means.

There's zero double standard coming from me. It, much like that score you keep, is entirely in your head.

Animals fleeing Yellowstone spark fears of volcanic eruption

" According to Epoch Times, multiple videos of such incidents have been posted online recently, one of which shows a herd of buffalo allegedly leaving the park and “running for their lives.” Although people behind the discussion acknowledge there’s no way to predict when the park’s massive volcano could erupt, they believe the reaction of the Yellowstone’s animals could signal some kind of alert. "
