A 7.7?? Yeah, he felt it! That's a large one.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
The earthquake was centered under Sandspit Hadai Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) .....it was 7.7 on the scale but interestingly it was a very local subduction quake for that area .....I did'nt feel a thing here on Vancouver Island!!! It was followed by a 5.8 magnitude aftershock about an hour later, but a Tsunami warning was issued for my area .....so far all is quiet. .... it's warning us basically that the a big one (9.0 + maybe) can be expected any time sooner or later
I've been in a magnitude 7.0 quake before........ anyone who's been through one will tell you they hope to never experience another one again!!!!

Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

Yep, was in the Bay Area for the Loma Prieta quake in 1989. It was "only" 6.9, but that was close enough to 7.0 for my comfort.Originally Posted by VE7DCW

Not likely to have a really big one in San Diego. We're well west the San Andreas fault, which run along the eastern edge of the Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley. We do have the Rose Canyon fault to be worried about but any quake generated by seismic activity along that fault will probably be in the 5-6 range.

And don't forget about the asphalt, it runs everywhere in CA.

Been to Phoenix lately? It's larger than San Diego now and pretty much indistinguishable from southern California except that there's no Pacific Ocean nearby and everybody's packing heat.

Yep, they FU the freeways here to practice for their anal trips to your side of the divide so they can adequately FU yours, as well. Of course, now we have the snow birds flocking in, too. They can only go out sightseeing during rush hour, and only do 40 on the freeway. And, when they all finish their migration here, our DOT will begin all of the roadwork they have put off till now, which includes shutting down freeway lanes, closing exits, and all the other silly shit they do.
Wouldn't hurt my feelings if everyone went back to horses. At least that kind of horseshit can be dealt with quite easily.
