Another Earthquake Hits California

[P!P]

This is the third earthquake to hit California in a week. The end is near! LOL. Another this is not as bad as the only two days ago, this one was very near to major cities.

Anyone feel it?

[P!P]

It's breaking news on the news channels right now. They had some science guy on the news saying these quakes could be the beginning of a "Mega Quake". Perhaps a very large earthquake is coming?

[kyro]

damn... here in Bombay india. we had quake too around 3 though but still not good. :no:

[P!P]

Sorry to keep replying to my own message but 21 afterstocks have happened in the last 50 minutes.

Mega-earthquake... that would be what in magnitude? 10+?

[jus1haz2]

Ya I am glad that I am in WA. Some people in my clan were saying that there was a earthquake happening and there computers almost fell over. lol :laugh:

I think 8.0 or 8.5 or something. I don't know. That's what the reporter called it. Clearly a 5.6, 7.2, and a 5.3 in less then a week leads most people to believe something is going on.

The Isle of California...

definitely felt it here in industry, i was eating in&out outside.

[DMilner]

I felt it. It was moderate in strength. Of course I'm a little ways away from the epicenter...about 110 miles away.

[Deathray]

The Core... these past events remind me of that, possible tornado's near where i live, mississauga, ontario, canada :s... near toronto... and all these earthquakes

[Epimetheus]

I was right under it, about 17 miles away from the epicenter.

I didn't feel it very much due to the fact that I was outside on just regular ground and walking/moving, however, my sisters and mum were inside of the house and they felt it shake quite well. Doesn't help the fact that we also live in a bloody 80 year old wood house sitting on a CONCRETE and BRICK foundation. :D

i wouldn't be smiling if i were you...

[Epimetheus]

The smiling is a sarcastic note, and to make the situation sound not as grim, hell my sisters and mother now believe a big one is coming, I have my doubts but I would be ready if such an event happened.

Mega-earthquake... that would be what in magnitude? 10+?

586075290[/snapback]

At magnitude 10+ the entire state of California would go flying into outspace.

586075290[/snapback]

The Ritcher scale only goes up to 10

10 = California Island. :pinch:

[KeR]

well I guess we can say bye bye to California

[DouglasLWarren]

I just bought some beachfront property in Nevada! :ninja:

[fock neow1n]

property value will go up, everyone wants their own island and alot of land to go with it.

[2xSilverKnight]

we already knew it was coming, but no so fast. I was expecting 2010.

They don't know what will be the consequence but it can broke in pieces of island or just totaly slip in the ocean.

[kyro]

this is just bad. i dearly hope its all over. peeps from cali .. keep posting thats its all good... if you stop i will wonder.

btw my idiot cableguy has screwed up and i cant see some channels including CNN. got only BBCWORLD here and the pommies not telling anything bout this quakes.

[Mutex]

well I guess we can say bye bye to California

Hey man, that's not funny! You got me all nervous now...lol! :unsure: :pinch:

[Deathray]

is there any sources regarding this mega-earthquake business, or is it how disovery channel hyped up yellowknife?

[mattmatik]

Hopefully nobody was seriously hurt.

And I wish I could say I am worried about "falling into the ocean" but I'm not.

[Epimetheus]

Mega-earthquakes probably don't even exist, the only place you could create such an earthquake is in one of two situations.

1) A subduction zone, such as the one that was in the December and caused the Tsunami.

2) A asteroid could trigger something akin to a mega-earthquake.

The first is much more probable then the second, and a true mega-earthquake (above the richter scale's limit of 10) would be more likely to happen in the mentioned subduction zone, so if you truly want to see some part of the Western U.S. break away from the mainland, Washington and Oregon (both within range of the Cascadia subduction zone) are much more probable candidates then California. but please do not put faith in my words for this is only what I can remember from what I have read in various areas of the internet.

EDIT: Here you guys go, more likely that Canada, Oregon and Washington will slip into the sea than California. :D
