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”?
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…
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 
Yeah, I love those types…
In a real emergency, they’ll waste precious battery-juice on a crappy light, then be tapped out when they need the phone most.
I felt both of the large quakes here in Las Vegas. I happened to be sitting in a chair both times which made them more noticeable as the chair moved under me. A neighbor across the street who was working on his car had no idea the magnitude 6.4 earthquake had occurred. The second one made the chandelier overhead move quite a bit for about a minute.
I think this this is a different fault from the one that caused the devastation in San Francisco a century ago. That’s the San Andreas Fault. It’s the one that will get both LA and San Francisco when it moves big time. It runs from north of San Francisco to the Mexican border. With 500+ active faults across the state, you have lots to choose from.
Good luck to all you folks out in CA…… Im sure when the Big One comes, there will be lots of ‘I told you so’s’. It will be, at least, a ‘learning experience’ for lots of younguns …… Not a question of IF, just a matter of When!
If the 6.2 pre-shock and the 7.1 where centered in a more populous area, this would have been ” the big one”….
New crack in Steamer Lane cliff, Santa Cruz California, since July 4, 2019
it has been getting wider by about 6” each day for the last 3 days…
Local Color
Okay, that’s… random. (Wtf?)
Of course if this quake had hit LA instead of Ridgequest the damage would have been much greater because there is more “stuff” but there have been ‘approx’ 25 stronger recorded in the U.S.
I think most people accept ‘the big one’ will be 8.0 or greater
If I remember correctly an 8.0 is 10x stronger than a 7.0, but releases 30x the energy. Something like that anyway.
Great pictures of the crack Jon. not sure what to make of the video . . .
@ jon_slider
Thank you for the pictures of the crack in the Steamer Lane Cliff. Wow….
How long before it shears off do ’you’ think it will be??
Loved the “Local Color” video too….
