Earthquake!

woah!!!!!!

i was out there in 79 it was pretty wild. alot of volcanic activity than.

 

Mrs. 36 and I felt it at 4:40 this AM. Too bad I could'nt have timed it with a little romantic interlude . Now that would have gotten me somewhere!!! Mike

 

It woke my wife up, but not I for I sleep as the log doth sleep.
Earthquakes are lame. Nuclear War. Now there's something to get excited about!

 

Hahaha! I'll let you know when the next one is going to happen.

 

what a bunch of pussies. wait till you feel a real quake.

 

Oh yes... Shook my **** out of bed... I live south of the previous Olney post... About 10 miles from the center... 5.2 at 4:37 and another 4.1 quake at about 10 am...

 

I woke up and felt the bed shakin' and heard the closet doors rattling. My wife didn't even wake up; she doesn't wake up for anything at night no matter what it is or what you’re offering .

MMcF.

 

today is the anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake... or was it yesterday? either way that was an earthquake that messed some **** up!

the geniuses in charge say there is a 99% chance of another biggie in the next 30 years. can't wait!

 

They've been threatening here in Arkansas on the New Madrid fault for better than ten years. Some guy predicted on around Marked Tree AR, didn't happen.
Do any of y'all still in Illinois remember the tremors back sometime in the early '70's?
I also remember my grandpa, who lived 15 miles from Olney, talking about the oil companies pumping in salt water to release the last of the oil in the wells in Clay and Richland counties. They blamed some of the tremors on that procedure.
Us flatland farm kids ain't used to the ground shaking.

 

I was in my truck when it happened so I didn't feel it. Another guy I work with said he felt it.

 

dident feel any thing but my wife said she did well it could have done it i farted in bed this morning

 

thats not a fault that is a VOLCANO and a bad to the bone BIG one!!!!! as in the whole national park is the basin.......
i read somewhere that the lake there has shifted because of the land bulging on the other side. and if it decides to erupt again it could send us into a nuclear winter/ice age. pretty knarley stuff.

 

With all the old oil wells and coal mines around here, I'm surprised that this half of the state hasn't sunk yet...

 

i had a really vivid dream there was a tornado, didn't find out it was an earthquake untill about 7:30am.

 

Welcome to my world,guys! ****, a 5.4 feels like ****pin out a really bad Mexican dinner! I went out to the last "Big One" out here on the I 5--the one the semi-truck was on the bridge--you ain't seen nothin untill you see BIG bridges fall down!Then you get the 100's of aftershocks at ,like 3.5--4.0 for the next two weeks.
BUT---*****in beaches--half-**** women--and now $100,000,000.00 houses for half price!!!--What's not to love!!!

 

babies

 

Yup!; felt it as well. Seemed like my bed shook for a couple of seconds

 

my alarm clock hit me in the head confused the hell out of me i never felt a shake

 

Bah! Tell me when you've had a BIG one.

 

Some said they felt it here in the Dayton Ohio area but it did not wake me up,I did feel the 80 quake which knocked my car out of park and rolled down a friends driveway. Jeff

 

I can't wait until we have a "BIG ONE" so we can be as cool as you guys in Cali. Damn, you guys have everything. Earthquakes, Paris Hilton, and even do I dare say it SHA-NA-NA. We should have let Mexico keep that ****in place. Geeze.

 

Well when it had been felt from Nebraska to Georgia, I think it's something to take notice in, especially when we rarely have them to begin with. We already know California is "Slip Sliding Away" and has a bunch of little ones.

This is interesting:

Earthquakes in the US with-in the last 7 days
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/

• 5.0 = 32 kiloton of TNT = Nagasaki atomic bomb
• On average 800 5.0-5.9 earthquakes recorded on earth per year.
• A 10 has never been recorded.
• Each whole number on the Ricter Scale is 31.6 times stonger then the previous number and each decimal is 3.16 times stronger.
• Midwestern earthquakes are potentially more powerful than California earthquakes. The geology in the Midwest increases the shaking intensity of earthquakes because seismic energy moves through the dense bedrock at very high speeds, then becomes trapped in soft sediments filling river channels and valleys. Earthquakes would be magnified about 600 percent within the flood plain of the Missouri River.
• California is #15 as the US's strongest earthquakes, New Madrid fault here in the midwest holds #7 with the rest of the top 10 being in Alaska.

Just something to think about...

 

I remember the 84 quake here, I was in college at the time. Had hard time walking to the showers, thought I was just still drunk from the night before. Yellowstone has hundreds of measured earthquakes every year. Its one of the most actively monitored and studied areas in the country. If that volcano pops off, I won't even have time to finish a beer before I'm toast.

 

I am 20 miles north of louisville on 71, rattled the house pretty good, kinda weird never been through nothing like that. I will put up with tornados at least with them we get some warnings.

 

y'all be careful out there - back to cars
