According to this site... this area is a major cluster of faults ready to go off with the big one any time now...

There's something fishy going on. 6.9 4.1 4.3 5.1 now? they are progressively moving north.

Not good.

So, any theories as to what it was? Leaving out the haarp stuff that I am sure that lot will start spewing nonsense about, what causes rolling vs just shaking?

Tectonic plate sliding perhaps, instead of the usual pressure snap?

It is the San Andreas waking up and starting to slip. It will get worse not necessarily right away but soon, before it get's better and by then there will be much loss.

I'm finding it odd that CNN has not mentioned Las Vegas. I can see them getting lots of tweets from people....for like 30 min or more...but they won't mention it at all.

5.1 on the Andy Richter scale

Sorry, a 5.1 isn't even close to being considered a "big one."



Get off your high horse. 5.1 is plenty big for an aftershock
 Quoting: orby

Sorry, lol. Not getting on a high horse, I guess living on top of a 7.2 just readjusts your scale of what's big and what's not...

I felt an East-West rolling for about 11 seconds here in Glendale Arizona, a city northwest of Phoenix. My vertical blinds were swaying, and the tassels on my ceiling fan were swaying too. Actually, right now they are swaying (4:27 pm arizona time), just a leetle bit.

I thought I was having blood pressure problems, that it was just me bobbing in my chair, but the blinds said otherwise. Went outside, my neighbors didn't notice it. Spooked me a bit.

Oddly, I did not get a headache for this one, which is typical for me feeling big quakes around the area. Instead, last night, I had the urge to take out my sleeping bag and sleep on the living room floor of my apartment, instead of my bed. That is weird for me, maybe it is an instinct.

Got off the phone with family in Julian...they count 4 big quakes so far (the first really big one, and three smaller "jolts").

We felt the big one, we haven't felt the jolts.

Like I said I am in Vegas. The shaking, more like swaying was slight but noticeable. I first i thought I was getting dizzy or sick, like vertigo, then I noticed my ceiling fan and table were moving. I was like WTF? Did anyone else get that dizzy feeling. And yes people, those in Vegas and Arizona did feel this quake. It is all over the internet.

I noticed my fingers were hurting me when i tried to bend them but I ignored it. I usually get very sore fingers right before a quake. This swaying is driving me nuts, it's making me dizzy!

I'd say so, 7003. Change my scale for sure. I've never felt anything over a 3 pointer which was just a quick jolt.

Please do not say that without full explanation!

Now the map shows two big ones and three little aftershocks.

One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.
