anyone feel that earthquake?

topic

 

Are you in So. Cal.? North Cal.? If it's So. Cal. I hope your home is OK. If you live in the South Pacific or on an island in the Indian Ocean, OMFG GET AWAY FROM THE WATER!!!

 

Where and when.....

 

?? Wow. We found out about it before it got on the News.

But no, I didn't feel it... all the way in Florida...

 

On a similar note, Jon, is Noel headed towards you or a diff part?

 

i live in the bay area which is close enough to the water i guess...
but dang that was like the first time ive ever felt such a strong quake

 

WTF does this mean?

Also, I dont' see anything about this on the news. Are you guys pulling my leg?

 

you'll probably hear about it tomarrow i guess

 

There was a quake? Dang....I think I just don't feel quakes anymore...i've felt one or two, but not more than that. Hehe...when the big one hits, chances are I won't be logging onto the forum the next day, my town is literally built ON TOP of the San Andreas Fault

 

Where was the quake centered at?

Jon, take a look at this


Itsmyship, my house is right on the Wastch so I know what you mean lol....And the worst bit is we're like 400 years overdue for one....It's gonna be HUUUGE (Donald Trump)

 

Haha, I know that. I also realized that if the US was ever invaded/nuked/bombed...I would be screwed anyway. I literally live 30 minute drive from Edward's Air Force Base, one of Lockheed's major facilities is in where I live, and if you go about an hour east of where I live, you'll start seeing missle silos everywhere....so chances are in the event of a bombing/invasion...my hometwon is NOT surviving

 

XD
I'm ten minutes away from Utah's only base lol....Not fun.

There's also Dugway in Utah....Scaaaary stuff goes on down there.

 

Wow. What kind of Floridian am I? I didn't even know about this storm. Some random Californians made me aware.

It's called the Gainesville effect. No news makes it in or out of this rat hole town. Unless it's sports or related to UF. LOL!

Anyway, I'm in no danger. Not even close. From www.noaa.gov's prediction, it won't even touch Florida hardly.

I'm north central Florida, in Gainesville. Or I'm on the central west coast, just above the indent that is Tampa Bay. The thing couldn't be any further. So unless it decides not to turn, I probably won't even get any rain from it :'(.

 

that quake was HUGE!

i was freaked out

 

ya for some reason i just started swearing

 

Jon: I know how you feel. I alwaysused to be up to date news-wise before I moved up here (to those that don't know, I live in Gainesville too), but since I don't watch TV(South Park excepted), listen to the radio, or read any general news sites, I am totally blind to the goings-on of the world.

That said, I've never really been worried by hurricanes. I used to live in Orlando, and only the worst storms ever did any damage.

 

I know.. it's a strange phenomenon.

And even if you do read stuff, you still feel out of the loop becuase you miss so much.

Newspapers are not a good way to find out about events.

Imagine if you found out about 9/11 by reading it. Wouldn't have the same effect.

 

I have. I was a weak one, like a 3, but it shook my bed. It was fun cause I got a waterbed.

 

same here. Pretty much the only enviromental hazard around here is flood, but even the worst ones didn't get beyond my basement.

 

I am not even sure if natural disasters are possible where I live.

Not near any failt lines. No volcanoes. Too far inland for huricanes. Improper conditions for tornadoes even if we got enough storms. Curent drought means no floods.

Hmm well we can be hit by an asteroid.
