damn. ANOTHER earthquake. on a direct northwest line from the one on the weekend, about the same size, about 75 miles closer to LA, but i still felt it (even tho its 120 miles away). a 5.3 in Yucaipa

and there was that big one up north, but that's less likely related. i just find it weird that things are so active when they haven't been in so long. hmmm.

edit: its somehow comforting that my friends, 160 miles away, feel the same earthquake. awwwww.

Ok, is it weird that all these quakes have been way north or way south of me? What if it's just like building up until it smacks the crap out of SF?

aww. i wouldn't worry. if its coming, i think it will be down here somewhere...

the one north of you was on a completely different fault system. i think.

Freaked me out that I was under a tsunami warning and I didn't know it until it was over. And by the by, apparently this quake today was on the San Andreas? So I'm still worried about above mentioned fear of SF being next. I hope Aileen gets back from NJ first though, last time we had a quake she was gone and I was NOT happy.

yeah, i didn't know about the tsunami thing till it was almost over either. funny that san diego tv didn't bother broadcasting about it, but Tijuana tv did. good thing i get some mexican stations!

yes, i believe the quake was on the San Andreas, and at or near one of the predicted likely places of rupture for the "big one".

i felt it too... it was centered by Big Bear, i think.

i heard some say it's a foreshock to something larger.

then i think of all the rumors about Cali sliding into the ocean...

but amazingly i'm not too worried. (sure, the tsunami bit freaked me out just a tad...)

something larger, eh....could be fun. don't worry, no ones sliding into the ocean.

it made a yahoo headline tho. i think cuz it was the third sizeable one in a week. yahoo says 4.9, the scec says 5.3. i trust them more. this is the page i always go to.

i can always tell i haven't hallucinated an eqk when the page won't connect.
