Ok so who felt that? ... I'm from Texas and I didn't get scared until my wife's family that has lived here their whole life had a panicked look on their faces
if you type "earthquake" in google it tells you the latest earthquakes... up to like, 5 minutes ago... and their location and magnitude
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale Frequency of Occurence (Magnitude 6.0-6.9): 120 per year
I felt it, was gonna post. Within 3 minutes usgs.gov had quake stats http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/ci14607652.php Its like sitting in a boat and people purposely rocking it. I felt dizzy in the head from all the rocking and waving. My stomach quivered minutes afterward from the equilibrium and balance being thrown off. Still feels like aftershocks even after the shocks. Supposed to stand under doorways and such, but I stood in front of my HDTV to hold it up during the shaking lol. Hopefully thats all there is. Everytime there's a major quake in the world I assume California's gonna get one the coming months.
Nice. I passed out on my couch and that junk woke me up. I just got up and watched the people go outside. It went on for a while, but wasn't very scary. Now being in a tornado, thats another story. Definitely interesting though.
I think standing in doorways is out of style, by the way. Too many cool bros were getting spanked by the swinging doors. :grin: srsly.
yesterday's was reclassified as a 7.2 7.0-7.9 /Major/ Can cause serious damage over larger areas. 18 per year I was driving and didn't feel much. I looked to my left and sensed something was off when I saw some signs swaying...
hard to believe there are only two deaths so far and one was from a guy getting hit by a car. that really shows just how bad they have it in haiti if mexican border towns have such higher levels of structural integrity in their buildings. i'm sure the total will go up and it's obviously a lot less populated, but it's still pretty amazing.
