It still baffles me that it was posted about before I actually felt it.q - Mel Profit Aug 23, 07:20
It's weird how memory tricks you - I remember it as being earlier in the summer - prayformojo Aug 23, 07:19 1
- Yeah, Irene hit a few days later. (My sister has been in CA for a couple years and was visiting us at the time. It's still her first quake - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:20
Haha, a 5.8 anniversary. There was a 5.5 last week off our coast. Didn't even make the local news. - Bacon Aug 23, 07:19 4
- Did you feel it? It's no 8.3 or whatever hit Japan, but 5.8 is nothing to sneeze at even for folks near California. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:22 3
  - I was in a 7.1 and that shit was big. We had 5 pointers many times in the Bay Area. One day we had a swarm of 6 of them. - Bacon Aug 23, 07:24 2
    - yeah, that's literally over an order of magnitude bigger (more than 10x). -- nm - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:25 1
      - I like the smaller ones more for how short they are. That 7.1 shook for over a minute where I was. - Bacon Aug 23, 07:27
"Why didn't he tell us where to go if there's a quake?" "Cuz this is Maryland, that shit doesn't happen here." - Will Hunting Aug 23, 07:18
