Anyone near Southern California feel the earthquake?

Above.

That “solid”rock you talking about. Is just a tiny splinter on a thin cooling crust on a small fireball spinning in space. Miniscule in the way of things.

OH. None of it is SOLID Rock. Just a thin skin of several cooling plates. that are permanently on the move. Usually together.
But look out Charlie if any ever separate. WE ALL gone.

The way we treating it. It’s only a matter of time.

Have a great day hey….

I tried finding pics or a story online and have not yet been successful. Have you seen either Jon?

I’ve been thru many and could tell it was a good one….frim 200 miles away in Oxnard.
First thing I thought about was how many batteries do I have charged.SMH

It woke my 2 kids and wife, put the news on and was surprised at how far the epicenter was….

Earthquake just now (8:23pm) in Las Vegas. Was watching the NBA summer league game, Knicks vs Pelicans. Scoreboard and speakers hanging from the ceiling swaying back and forth at Thomas & Mack arena.

I think I felt this one.

It was a rolling earthquake, but we're so far away from the epicenter, we're fine.

Swarming….I hope no one is hurt.

I guess I’m too drugged up to notice. I got a hip replacement a couple days ago. I was standing and talking on the phone to someone in town who felt it, but all I got was hearing the wind chimes make noise when there was no wind . . .

I felt both earthquakes. Normally I sleep though them or they are usually milder. I am definitely NOT prepared for the big one.

Not here, nope.

I also have not found pics online, will have to snap one tomorrow

I hope you heal fast after the hip work
and that your pain levels stay suppressed

I had mentioned just 2 days ago that the lack of wind made it feel like earthquake weather… next day a big crack in the cliff… stay tuned for the photo op

Hope everyone is OK, I wonder if this could be the prelude to “The Big One”?
:open_mouth:

I felt both a tiny bit over on this side of the border, the first I only noticed since some kitchen ornaments started swinging a little.
They weren’t too small either so no wonder they were felt a bit all the way down here.

All clear here of course. Thought we did have one, fairly close; I felt several years ago. Very strange feeling in this part of the country… :open_mouth:

Thanks Jon, so far so good. As of today I’m planning to ditch the walker, and use a cane or hiking poles only. Still taking the narcotics, but hoping to ditch those in a few days.

Looking forward to the picture!

Good advice .. I think harbor freight has some really good ones .make sure and stock up on AAA heavy duty batteries too !

Don't forget to buy that $4 angle grinder you've been saving up for too.

What’s sad is that they’ll actually do just that.

Pfft. Your flashlight only has 1 LED, but mine has 9!…

I wouldn’t be surprised if many (most?) people feel that they don’t need a flashlight since they can just use their phone’s flashlight app.

That’s what my kids do. It works as long as their is a place to recharge your phone. But earthquake damage to infrastructure is a different situation . . .

Yeap my son-in-law feels that all he needs is his cell phone. Try as I might I just can’t convince him that a real flashlight is needed for emergencies. And with us living in San Francisco a real emergency can happen at any time. I have a few thousand dollars in earthquake supplies and he just laughs thinking that it’s a waste of money.

Lucky for him, and my daughter and granddaughter, that they live with us in case a big quake hits :stuck_out_tongue:
