which shows you know absolutely nothing about plate tectonics. The Pacific plate is pushing up under the North American continental plate. We are rising not sinking.

it was a long one here lasted a good 30-40 seconds. That was actually a pretty sizable quake. I mapped it out and we are like 340 miles away and we felt it. I would be willing to bet it would have caused some major damage if it had been in a large population base area. According to the maps it was somewhere out in the desert around Guadalupe in Baja.



Caltech just uprated it to a 7.2

I'm pretty sure I felt it here in AZ. Everything was kind of swaying back and forth... I have this wall clock with billard balls hanging from it and they were also swaying back and forth.

Crazy stuff

I think I would have set the new 40yd dash record at the NFL Combine with how fast I ran out of the house.

To add to that, Not only are we moving up, but we are moving into each other.. Meaning, One day, in about 70,000 years, you will be able to see Windows in LA Sky Scrapers from the Highest point of San Francisco ..

Also heard there was a 4.1 in Sac shortly after, Not a After shock.. and another Quake in Imperial 5.1 after shock...

when did this happen?
surprised I didn't feel anything at all out here in the San Fernando Valley, CA.
40 secs is pretty scary even if it's not such a strong quake.

i barely felt it. i was outside grilling some chicken and for a second I thought i went dizzy or something, but I realized it was an earthquake when I heard the windows rattle. Meh... my parents said it felt pretty crazy inside the house though.

this seems right but i thought it was a transform fault meaning we are sliding north-bound

either way

i noticed my kitchen lamp was swinging but i didnt feel it shaking

I live near Imperial Beach. I sure felt it. Woke my ass up from a nap. Whole house was shaking lasted for a good 30-40 seconds. Pretty strong quake. I survived the Mexicali Easter Earthquake. hah

That's what I thought too. I was gonna get ready to get up and dash, but never had to.

I was at Ericcastro's house, we were sitting at the dinner table and he was writing something down. I just thought it was him moving the table but he eventually stopped and asked, "Do you feel that?"

It was strange. That was the slowest moving quake I've felt. It felt like we were up in a tree on a kind of windy day.

Lasted forever too.

i saw the nissan xterra moving on the lift above me while i was doing an oil change, turned out it WAS an earthquake..the frequency of the side-to-side movement wasn't too fast though right? It just felt like i was drunk and losing my balance a bit.

Chilling on the couch when it happened
kept waiting for it to get stronger or for shit to start falling
surprised it never did
kind of odd for an earthquake, had plenty of power but not much fury

the plates are sliding north south but overall geographically the Pacific is subducting under the North American Continental plate as well.

I was sitting in my stock S13 at the light, at first I thought my car was idling funny but then I checked and it was steady. Then I looked around thinking that someone was messing with me in the middle of the street by bouncing on my trunk. The whole motion made me feel like I was on a boat for the whole red light.

I was raving saturday night so the earthquake happened when I was still coming down. so I was tripping the fuck out. I couldn't tell if it was my head still spinning or if the ground was really moving. haha

My Family from the UK had just came over and about 10 mins into the vist the house started moving lol. After about 30-40 secs I was like I think its over and Welcome to California guys. They all laughed after that comment. Shorty after I went to the garage to check on the S14 since its on jack stands.
