Earthquakes felt!!

BMW F22 · 01-07-2010, 12:51 PM

So last night I was watching the local news (after Jay Leno) and felt a small quake. It's turned out to be a 2.8 so it wasn't anything to be alarmed about. I was then wondering if we were going to feel other ones (possibly bigger) soon. Sure enough the 4.1 that we felt just about 40 minutes answered that question.

They've been saying that the BIG ONE is due any day now. So while the small quakes are good to relieve some of the pressure, who knows what these smaller quakes could mean. Perhaps a precursor?

coincidence that the sea lions disappeared from pier 39? i think not

A lot of things are not coincidences. I think many things are related somehow. I was watching the news and people were calling in about their experiences and such. Some people were surprised how some close to the epicenter didn't feel it when people further away felt it more. It's not really surprising since the people further away experience more rolling.

California unfortunately, is over due for a large quake. The San Andreas fault runs all the way from SoCal to the Bay...Let's hope for the best though!

Yeah and it's not the only fault. We have the Calaveras Fault and the Hayward Fault right here too.

hey... look at it this way, the last time SF had a big quake, you guys got a brand new stadium.

With the next great earthquake in California everything east of the San Andreas Fault will fall into the Atlantic Ocean.

Dude I just heard about that! I knew something was up with all the small ones we've been having. Stupid geologists were dismissing them as nothing...I even wrote that those quakes might be a precursor to something bigger. It's one of those things where I don't wanna be right but still, people need to study more about earthquakes.

blacknbean · 01-09-2010, 11:04 PM

other than the big one today in the ocean there have been a ton of small ones over the past couple days in milpitas/san jose. http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/122-37.html
