'...And that's all for this evening, I'm Tits McGee'
I've seen Burgundy a dozen times, it never gets old
Funny what you can get used to, a 4.2 in NY would be the talk of the town for weeks
Morning, shoge....yeah, it was about 25 miles from me...the folks at the news studio felt it more and for a longer duration since they’re on that side of the hill....disappointing though, because Burgundy might’ve just went to the epicenter five minutes before it even happened to give us the hard-hitting details of the rumbler...after all, he’s a dedicated professional....
shareReporting in from 'Sunny' Bournemouth, England.
We don't get earthquakes or extreme weather conditions and we don't have any dangerous animals either - just sun, sea and sand, lol.
Greetings, AK, we have the sun, sea and sand also, but things shake every now and then....

I worked in an office when the Loma Prieta earthquake happened in my area. There were so many aftershocks that after a while, when another one happened during the day, we'd all poke up our heads from our cubicles and say things like...
"Well that one felt like about a 4, no a 4.5"
"No, that one was more like a 3.0."
"No way, a 3.0 is the lowest rating of earthquake a person can actually feel!"
"Yeah, that one was pretty stuff, I think it was a 5.0."
Etc.
Lol....morning, O....that’s sounds like the news broadcast this morning, only you’re nice, normal people at work and the folks on the tube are not supposed to be in the business of giving misinformation...flipped the channels and everyone saying something different in the race to be first, but I digress....
But seriously, I hope you came out of the Loma Prieta quake relatively unscathed....that was a rough one...

Oh yeah, I was unscathed, everyone I knew and their pets were unscathed, we just had to pick everything we owned up off the floor, because the quake was strong enough to knock every single object in the Bay Area off its shelf or out of its cabinet.
And I was house-sitting at the time, so I had to pick up TWO houses worth of crap!
Oh no! But as long as you were okay all is well....my aunts live on the Oakland side of the bay so I heard about that, time for new dishes in some instances....
shareI live in the Bay Area, but geologically speaking, things are very quiet where I am. Evidently the San Franciscans have it much worse than the river valley area. However, in the 8 years I have been living here (as of this writing) we have had 3 very small, very local quakes.
The first one happened when we were all asleep a few years ago, but my brother (who is a total night owl) experienced it. I have a feeling it did little more than wiggle some of our stuff in the house.
The second one happened just four years ago in the autumn. It came from the west and made the house creak. I was at my computer desk, and I felt this sensation go right under my feet, as if some large serpent was whip-lashing through the ground under my feet as it headed east. (I guess that's what an S-wave feels like).
The most recent was either last year or the year before, and all it did was briefly wiggle a few things in my room when it happened.
I have a feeling none of these would register very high on a seismograph.
You sound safe and poised, so that’s a good thing, AmeriGirl...from what I can gather, a seismograph measure in the 4s happens, on average, about 17 times a year in California....the 1s, 2s, 3s, those happen on a average in the hundreds per year, so many we never feel...I felt this one for about 2 seconds and if I was in a deep sleep and my doggies didn’t bark, I would’ve slept though it....a friend who lives close by was up and watching TV at 430 am and didn’t feel a thing, and he lives in a second story apartment, which makes one usually feel it...
Stay cool and safe, cheers...
The weirdest earthquake scenario I've dealt with was not even in California! Back in 2002-2003, I lived in Tennessee for 18 months, and I woke up one morning at 4 am, and couldn't understand why the handles on my chest of drawers were rattling. Then I realized my bed was shaking. Not violently, but noticeable, and it stopped as soon as it started. Everyone else in my family slept through it.
Later that day, at school, I took advantage of my English class (I was in high school at this time) being in the computer lab, and looked up an earthquake website called "Did You Feel It?" It's where anyone can add in their own accounts of earthquakes they've experienced, and they can look at an up-to-date map of the US, and you can add your own comments on the subject.
Ah, I just looked up the info. It was a 4.6 magnitude earthquake that took place just to the east of Fort Payne, Alabama, on April 29th, 2003, and 3:59 am CST. So the timeline and shockwave direction makes sense.

The "Ring of Fire" has been quite active for the past 24 hours and showing no signs of calming down.

Don’t scare me, lol.. no, really, thanks for the info Z, that’s a cool tool to have...
shareI might have overstated the situation, my bad! How are you holding on?
shareNo problems here, all things considered...I’m a native and grew up with this, so I only worry when buildings crumble and people die, and modern construction reinforcements and continuing improvements and responses to quakes leads me to feel okay with what is an inevitable part of nature...my only worry is a major one in the face of our current situation, stretching our resources even more could make things more problematic...but I think, and hope, that things will be okay....hanging at MC helps, nice to chat with you and the many others here...
shareCalifornia is a beautiful place. I miss it. Things will turn around for sure. Wish you all the best.
shareI've experienced 4 quakes...the most unusual was the 2011 Virginia quake, felt in New York City, because we never felt earthquakes. I was in a bar and thought my bar stool was loose and coming apart. Then I saw the track lighting shaking a bit and said, "I think it's an earthquake" (because I had been in 2 prior) and everyone was skeptical. But earthquake it was.
