Epicenter in Baja California, Mexico. Preliminary: 6.9 .

They just mentioned it on the SA feed....hope everyone is OK out there

[horses4courses]

That tremor was commented on at SA by the HRTV presenters....it happened just as the horses approached the finish in the 7th race......scary!

[DJofSD]

The epicenter is down in Mexico, more or less at the very northern part of the Sea of Cortez, which is right where the San Andreas fault lies. If there is going to be major damage as a result, it will be in the Imperial Valley and areas of Baja California.

[chickenhead]

6.9 is pretty good sized, glad it was far enough south not to hit you guys too bad. The coast has been rocking this year.

[DJofSD]

The aftershocks continue. A few more quakes up and down California greater than 3.0 continue.

[breezing]

i've been through many a quake and that was the first one that has actually made me "sea sick", my inner ear is still off. kept waiting for the "bang" but nothing but rolling, rolling, rolling......

[Tape Reader]

Has anyone watched the movie "2012"?

Just curious.

[bigmack]

Drive up to Del Mar to a large gathering of freinds, get out of the car and the ground is rolling about. Get into the gathering & the entire pool looks like the Bering Sea. People in from Jersey. The mother of three kids locked herself in the bathroom for a half an hour after the quake. She's still freaked out while her kids are having a ball.

[Tom]

Upped it to 7.2, and another in No Cal at 4.1.
They showed a backyard swimming pool where the water just shook out all over the yard.

[boxcar]

Has anyone watched the movie "2012"?

Maybe the better question would be: Has anyone ever paid attention to what Jesus prophesied about everything that would characterize the end days?

There's a link that has quake's ID'd in 3D (up to last 7 days)....Have it bookmarked at work, don't have it handy....That sucker is bound to look "busy".

Hope this is all the quakes for you guys, for awhile. Major (damage) quakes is the last thing Calif needs to deal with

[LottaKash]

Maybe the better question would be: Has anyone ever paid attention to what Jesus prophesied about everything that would characterize the end days?

Boxcar

Yes I have and do..... After all, this is the "Generation of the Fig-Tree"...For those of you not familar with this parable, one in which Jesus said to "LEARN", btw....It is about the return of Israel (the fig-tree) in 1948, from the scattering of the 10-tribes in 70AD, over the caucas's (mtns) and then throughout the world and then back again to the land that God promised & gave them from the beginning...

Mark 13:28...."Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near."

Mark 13:30...."Verily I say unto you, that this generation (fig-tree/Israel returned) shall not pass till all these things be done..(read signs and warnings in previous verses of chapter 13)

Well, we are now living in that generation....One only has to use his imagination after knowing this...

best,

[jballscalls]

talked to my sister who lives in Downtown SD and she said she only had a couple pictures fall over, no serious damage in her building or immediate neighborhood.

rumor was Andymays blamed excessive takeout for the quake

Obama is the anti christ???

Just remember: You're the one making the connection. (Don't tell me your messiah's shine is starting to tarnish. :rolleyes: )

Boxcar

[LottaKash]

Obama is the anti christ???

How can that be, seeing that he is a "Nobel Peace" prize-man, and all....Right ?

He only has our best interests at heart.... Right ?...

And he is so full of "love" or "something".... Right?...

He has done so much to change this nation for the better....Right ?

Everyone loves him....Right ? (well, at least all the obedient "Brown or Red shirts, love him so)

Do I love him?....Sieg_Heil NO !....I still don't even know where he came from...Like out of the mist or something ?...One of "History's Mysterys" for sure...

[PaceAdvantage]

Obama is the anti christ???Look who's bringing up the ridiculous again...later...he's going to attribute the bringing up of "Obama the AC" to a righty, when in fact, it was hcap himself...again....

What's next? Another "birther" comment from hcap thrown into some other innocuous off-topic thread?

[BlueShoe]

It was pretty much business as usual at Los Al during and after the shaker. Yours truly is very blase about quakes, have been through so darned many of them. Figure that if I am still alive when things stop moving then its ok, if not, then it wont matter to me. Rather interesting in that many are absolutely terrified during and after a quake. Often these are persons from the East that have never experienced one. Now hurricanes and tornados do frighten me, hope to never have to go through one. Give me a good old fashioned California earthquake every time, rather than those killer winds.

[DJofSD]

The aftershocks just keep on rolling along -- another one 5+.

How much is gold worth if the streets are paved with it.

If gold is good enough for the "streets" in heaven, why would you want to carry around worthless paper in your pockets? ;)

But to answer your question: What does it matter? The inhabitants of that place will never be in want for anything. That place is the real utopia. ;)

I'd say the ridiculousness began with the hoodoo voodoo stories about fig trees.

Ya, baby -- rock and roll part III.
That was huge here. Rolling for 15-20 seconds!

[chickenhead]

if you guys get sucked into the drink one of these days soon....just let go, don't drag Norcal in with you pls. We got bidness going on. No time for falling into the ocean.

stay dry, mi amigos de sur.

[jballscalls]

my sister lives in Little Italy in SD, and we were talking on facebook and here is the conversation we had. mind you i had just asked her a question about the Padres baseball team

OHMY GOD

Just a darn shame things are such as they are up yonder. I forget when I'm up there. I says to myself, I says: Is this Oregon?

That said with the assumption Oregon is confused. And they are.

I've been in dozens of EQ's. With the exception of Northridge, that was 2nd.

[chickenhead]

:lol:

5.7?

We've got yeti's we fight, John L Sullivan bareknuckle style. And deranged pot farmers with sniper rifles. That's week nights, I'm talking. Like Wednesdays.

I thought you guys had something going on.

If you feel any more shaking don't be scared, its maybe just me, doing my biz up here.

:lol:

(on the serio, I hope everyones ok.)

[jballscalls]

i read 5.9

[bigmack]

5.7?
5.9, PolloHead.

Goog, Earthquake today.

You callin' us softies?

[chickenhead]

naw, not really....numbers can be misleading, I know that. Something about the frequency of the waves or something. The last one up in my home town scared everyone real bad, and it was a relatively small number. Bigger ones breezed through without much impact. They're all different.

[bigmack]

They're all different.
Like the levels of HurryCanes. Who picks these names?

True blue, that was a big roll here. BIG.

5.9 but it felt all of 6.0 :lol:

Close to epi-cent matters.

Mother Earth is still callin' the shots; nice to know.

Mankind is underqualified.

[BlueShoe]

5.7 mag. at 9:26 PDT. Ho hum, no big deal. Soft gentle roll in OC. Did not even bother to stop what I was doing on the computer. My cat just briefly raised her head and then went back to sleep, and she is usually pretty alert to these things. One of the LA TV stations was on the story at once, watched for a awhile, and then went to bed. Been through too many of these things to get excited about them, although realistically, the next one could be my last one, as it could kill me.

[andymays]

These things are becoming a common occurrence out here. On one hand you think that maybe it's relieving the pressure and we will avoid the big one. On the other hand maybe the big one is right around the corner. Last night I was expecting that one to keep going and get worse. Glad it didn't.

[DJofSD]

Norcal is on the North American plate while those of us in God's country are on the Pacific plate. I don't know who's safer especially since your closer to the Wyoming super volcano.

[DJofSD]

5.9 was the prelimary read out but about an hour later it was put on sale.

[BlueShoe]

Norcal is on the North American plate while those of us in God's country are on the Pacific plate. I don't know who's safer especially since your closer to the Wyoming super volcano.
For those that care to do the research, there are websites that assign risk ratings for natural disasters such as earthquakes for your area. Some parts of NorCal are pretty safe, mostly inland places, while other areas, such as the SF Bay area, are high risk. For those residing outside the West that believe they have no quake risk, they might be surprised to discover that this is not so.

[DJofSD]

Got any links?

Yes, people in the midwest and New York think they're immune to the underground movement. They're not.

[ArlJim78]

The New Madrid fault has produced some bigs ones in the past.

[BlueShoe]

Got any links?
Better if just enter earthquake risk map or earthquake risk chart, or something similar in your search engine. Lots of links, many with rather complex math formulas. Here are a couple to start, a risk map of the USA and the other a city guide that gives risk ratings under the weather section.

I've lived here all my life and don't ever remember this many strong ones in a one year span.

USGS still does not have the info posted -- I predict almost as big as Easter's.

I heard this one before I felt it.

[DJofSD]

Prelim - 5.9 .

[bigmack]

Same here. Cats were diving for cover before I felt it.

[DJofSD]

This one was centered by Borrego Springs. A bit further north than the others we've experienced since Easter.

[TJDave]

App. 25 miles from my house in Palm Desert. Short but intense. Felt it real good. :eek:
