I wonder how people feel about the big quake over there, can't imagine something happening like that and yet it will, according to statistics :'(

I felt nothing too, not surprising as Los Angeles and Yermo are too far away from the epicenter.

I wonder how people feel about the big quake over there, can't imagine something happening like that and yet it will, according to statistics :'(

After living in Orange County CA for about 35 years, I can tell you they don't worry much about the big one. The place has faults all over the place and you are very likely to be hit with a small one. The big one would be at least 50 miles away so the distance will moderated it. You make sure your house will be safe and put in a supply of food, water and what ever else you need for a week or more without any outside assistance, and then there is no reason to worry. The biggest one I felt was the landers quake which was a 7.3 but quakes aren't the reason I left California.
The best place to see the earthquakes and fault location is at this web site.

Hmmm - an off beat thought....
Just before I went to work in LA there was a big quake
Just before I visited SF there was a big quake
Now, just before I head off on a trip through WA, OR & CA there's a fairly big one right alongside my planned route.

Just hope I don't plan on visiting you soon ;-)

Napa earthquake hastens calls for warning system

The Napa Valley Wine Train, which offers tourists a three-hour journey through 18 miles of wine country, canceled its service Monday but planned to resume trips Tuesday.

I'm rather worried about what will happen when New Madrid decides to let go. It's overdue. And most of the buildings around here aren't hardened for it.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-3.2 tremor struck 5 miles south of the city of Napa just before 2 a.m. Sunday.

Someone I know, with a rather off-kilter sense of humour, recently noted that for all the devastation earthquakes cause, like hurricanes and tornados, they generate hundreds of shovel-ready urban renewal projects.

I was at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo in 1989, and saw the results of the Loma Prieta quake up close and personal. Not something I'd wish on anyone.

That sounds like an answer and die sort of question.

Hope it was a restful, restorative visit for the both of you.

Thank you. It was. (I don't wish to high-jack the thread, but if anyone wishes to see Eric's fish pictures you can "friend him" on Facebook. Eric went camping in Canada for a week with his dad, a cousin and some family friends before he went back to Wisconsin and I flew out to join him there. I believe Eric posted a picture of a big fish he caught in Canada, and also a picture of a fish he caught in Wisconsin. Eric is generally a catch-and-release fisherman, so both of those beauties went right back into the water after their "close-up's".)

Anyway, we returned home late last night to find absolutely no quake damage here. Our home is on the Hayward fault line and while we probably would have felt the Napa quake had we been here, I would not have expected any damage.

I hope life in the areas damaged returns rapidly to normal for all involved.

Glad to hear you all are safe and well my friends.

Actually I don't think that is Hudson Bay, it might be too early for that, Nova Scotia(where My ancestors emigrated to before being exiled to Ireland for a bit, before returning to Canada), is somewhere above the R and below that prehistoric Bay. Neat bit of reading there on the Wisconsin site.

This may explain Hudson Bay better, the geology of the Canadian Shield.

Hmmm. Looks as if Antarctica is moving further south.

I don't know how that would be possible without either going North in part or leaving the planet altogether...

Not posting a link, but newspapers reporting 3.0 - 3.3 magnitude quakes in the Gilroy/Hollister area over the weekend. Quakes on the Calaveras fault. Area is just east of Monterey Bay, and the same area as the 1989 Loma Prieta quake.

A friend of mine, and I are going to Hollister on the 13th for Ren. Faire. I will be going as The Doctor; complete with Jelly Babies, and my Sonic Screwdriver. I hope there won't be any further quakes around that time.
