    people make jokes and laugh but they just don't get what happened 10 years ago...sad


    get over yourself j.. we do get what happened 10 years ago. and ive no doubt an earthquake would freak you good folk in NYC out, but its ok now, ok?


    whatever...based on some comments in here people don't get it

    i guess its context... where i live we can hear and feel the army doing their ordnance drills... do we ever think were under attack??? nope we dont... why not?? cause were used to the sound... its familiar to us. and until we do experience an attack the sound of bombs going off will always be a benign experience. an earthquake in NY.. not so familiar... and for some not such a benign experience considering.

    Everything's calm out here in California, aka "earthquake country". I suppose you could say we're having an earthquake vacation. Friends back east say to me, "Aren't you terrifed of earthquakes out there?" I tell them not really, I'm used to them and besides, it's either that or hurricanes or floods or ice storms or volcanoes. It's all about the awesome power of mother nature. Another friend used to say, "I hate the term 'natural disaster'. There are no disasters in nature. There are only human disasters." Agree or not, you have to admit that's thought provoking.

    In any case, I truly hope everybody is safe and sound out your way.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    interesting thought.


    if we were observing a humanless earth from space would we consider a hurricane or tsunami or earthquake to be a disaster?

    Tessie the dark dog of questionable heritage threw up a little bit in front of the refrigerator. It may have been the earthquake, some weird thing she tasted in the yard, or that I was exactly 18 minutes late with her evening bowl of kibble.

    Definitely one of those, probably.

    The other unlost dogs were fine. But slightly put out about the late dinner.

    there is a crack across the hallway/dining room/living room ceiling of my apartment.











    it's been there since I moved in 2.5 years ago and the earthquake did not make it much worse, just seemed that this was a good thread to post that in :mrgreen:

    I think there must have been some advance wave of earthquake activity that caused us to drift slightly out of the channel on Saturday, prompting Mr. Unlost to stare hard at the navigation screen and thus not realize how close were were to the big ass rock.

    Damned earthquake.

    We'll be sure to mention that in the insurance claim.

    By the time I figured out what it was, it was over. And to think I was nervous there would be a quake while I was in San Fran last month...and instead there was one (itty bitty one) at home.

    I haven't seen any damage anywhere here in Richmond VA. I'd say only older structures with very weak points or loose bricks would have had any problems.

    On the radio NPR mentioned that the reason it was felt so far is because of the lack of faults the vibrations traveled far, whereas in California they would have not traveled so far because of the many fault fractures stopping the vibrations.

    I was at wok, on my lunch break in the breakroom. Walls started shaking then apparently whole building shook for about 10-15 seconds. First though that it was someone on the roof, then i realized that wasn't it. Cautionly opened the breakroom door and stood under it. Customer walked by and asked me if that was an earthquake. hen went on facebook and found out everyone else experienced it. :lol:

    Hope everyone is ok though :)

    You folks need some earthquake preparedness training.
    You don't want to run outside - it's the falling bricks and electrical wires that will get you.

    The best thing about an earthquake? It's over by the time you realize what it was. No hiding in the cellar worried for hours like in tornados or hurricanes.
