Christopher Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Whooo I love California, just had an earthquake cooollll!!!!! 4.7 shook the house pretty damn good Edit: It was actually a 5.0 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recent...337.php#details
Christopher Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Weird becase the epicenter was up more toward your area
FisherPal Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Glad to hear that everything is okay for you guys. Can't say that I am anxious to experience anything like an earthquake but one of my dream holidays would be to go storm chasing.
Christopher Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 aahh earthquakes are way more fun. It's like sitting in a vibrating chair, except with more shake to it....and it's the whole damn city.
FisherPal Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 You're truly a weird kind of guy, aren't you, Chris? Well, glad it was just a 'roller coaster' ride this time and nothing more major than that.
SannerSays Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Hahaha! I can't say that I have ever heard anyone get so excited about being in an earthquake! Glad you had a good time!
PoppaC Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Glad to hear you are safe! (Glad I'm on the East Coast, at least for now!)
woodensaint Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I live right next to railroad track, feels like I am in an earthquake about 20 times a day. I almost hope a train derails one day and takes out my house while I am at work. That is, of course as long as my e-cig is with me.
Genet1c Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 how often do u guys get quakes out there? im on long island so ive never been anywhere remotely near one.
Christopher Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 Earthquakes are a daily thing in California. If you hit the following link you will see the US map on the right. You'll me amazed at just how many quakes hit us every week. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/ Most of the time you don't feel them as they are to small. It also depends on where you live, where I'm at we only actually feel them a few times a year. (the 4.0 and 5.0's anyway)
Genet1c Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Thats insane. Id prolly enjoy it just as much as you though
Christopher Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 yea it's kinda cool to watch the whole house shake, so long as it doesn't get too crazy. Sean, Royce and I all live in homes that are new and earthquake ready so the house moves as it's supposed to. We're where saying how sweet it would be if one hit during a video review
Sean Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Ya, earthquakes are chill and probly more than 90% of the time they do little to no damage. To be honest I love the fact that out here in Cali we have earthquakes and not tornados, hurricanes, typhoons, or whatever else. Earthquakes are easy!!
