You've got your hurricanes...

[Inkara1]

...and I've got my earthquakes.

 

[HomeLAN]

How bad was it?

 

[Inkara1]

Nothing fell over, but I sure felt it pretty good. That first one shook for well over a minute. Woke me right up. Looking at the info, it appears that was the one that we were supposed to have in 1988.

 

[Inkara1]

Looks like the USGS finally decided the first one waa a 6.0. It had been going between 5.9 and 6.0 for about an hour.

 

[tonksy]

oh good! i heard about the quake on my way back from buying halloween costumes and i was worried about you! i guess all is as close to well as possible then?

 

[Inkara1]

Yeah. No damage here. I'm wondering about Cholame and Parkfield though, but no communication yet from those areas. The power's probably still out over there.

An Hour! man that's a lot of rumbling.

 

[HomeLAN]

I think he meant that the USGS took an hour to make up its mind between 5.9 and 6.0.

 

[freako104]

was there any damage at all in your area? glad you were safe.

 

[Inkara1]

No damage in my area. There was a bit around Parkfield, but that area is very sparse so it wasn't too bad overall.

 

[Rose]

Good to hear you're safe and well, Inky!

 

[Inkara1]

This 5.0 woke me up within 5 minutes of the exact same time of the day as the 6.0 yesterday.

 

[Sharky]

Good to see that you are OK, Inky.

 

[ResearchMonkey]

This 5.0 woke me up within 5 minutes of the exact same time of the day as the 6.0 yesterday.

That was ~15 miles from my house.

Not too bad of shake, freaked-out the kids a little.

~160 gallons of water, 2 cases of MRE's, lanterns, emergency light sticks, flashlights, two car batteries (from the boats) ready to use, 12 volt D/C to A/C adapters. tents, sleeping bags, medic-bags, guns/ammo, two full tanks of gas, 2 gerry cans (10 gal) of gas (plus another 40 gals in the boats), and plenty of camping gear and several thousand dollars worth of lumber in the side yard under a tarp.

As long we survive the initial quake, we're ready

 

[Inkara1]

That was ~15 miles from my house.

You're not confusing that one with the 5.0 over by Keene this afternoon, are you? If not, you live in some pretty sparse country.

 

[ResearchMonkey]

yeah, the keene quake today, I still live in sparse country (thats a good thing thoo)

 

[Inkara1]

Ah, OK... that one was in the afternoon. The 5.0 I linked to was at 10:10 a.m. on the north end of the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault (the 6.0 was on the south end of that section).

 

[Mare]

All these freakin natural disasters SUCK.....Wassup wit them....
Glad you are safe and well....

Most all of 'em, even yours, make a horseshoe-shape around me on 3 sides.

We are in the middle

to the West (your area to my area) Largest earthquake on the continetal US 7.9

to the South 7.3

. . and the White-Wolf fault to the east, the one that gave-way yesterday.

Im right at the southern area of the valley, the little horseshoe of green above the mess of red-dots. The single dot, thats me (look close you can see me waving) (about 35-deg)
