boy you people are really doom deprived

Check out the house at the epicenter, it's so nice. Wonder if it took any damage.

The building creaked a little here in Cypress, but I didn't feel anything.

Fore shock?

The sonic dooms are from Tesla's energy sphere traveling in our atmosphere gathering energy.

I just wanna be outside when the big quake hits.

No bout a doubt it...

An earthquake of that magnitude doesn't generate enough energy to be felt in such a wide area.

Having said that.....

I Took someone shopping in Rancho Cucamonga and heard a boom, like someone banging a large aluminum sheet (like thunder).... people looked briefly, then went about their business.

NO shaking felt, just the sound.

San andreas fault line bout to go HAM

yeah and YOLO is a pretty arrogant attitude to have towards that...

reminds me of fucking arrested development:

"i'd rather be dead in california than alive in arizona"

welp good luck to californians. hope you feel the same way momma lucille does

I've never predicted and EQ or anything but my shoulders and neck have been locked up for 2 days. Hurts pretty bad. Could really use some muscle relaxers.

Yeah, earthquakes are very calming for the mind/body/soul

Every home in southern cali should have a sofa with an eject seat and a bay door that opens up on the ceiling.

NO....not GLP.

You will not ruin GLP, YOLOTARD

So when did earthquakes become rare in California?

Just askin'...

I'm surprised I didn't feel it, as it looks like it was somewhere near San Juan Capistrano, or inland, maybe 32 miles NW of us. I'm surprised that it made that booming sound, haven't really experienced that with a quake, in my memory.

I was standing in a CVS drug store when this one hit, so guess I'd have to be sitting on something to have felt it shaking.

We were shook here in San Diego with a shallow 3.5 about 25 hours before today's shaker, so I know what you mean. I was asleep and just felt the bed shaking a bit, which is best, because quakes make me get very anxious and I run outside, haha. Every since the 6.7 back in 1987 up in Northridge, I became really jumpy. I was at work on a 3rd floor of an aerospace company office building in the LA area, and everyone was under their desks, praying to Jesus for their lives. Ceiling tiles were falling, floors bucking at some points. Then we evacuated, and went to one person's car who had his top down and listened on the radio. I had family whose brick fireplace collapsed and walls cracked, near the epicenter. We went back into the building and then there was like a 4.0 aftershock or something and we all didn't know whether to run out the door again, or what. It was hard to forget about it as every time I'd walk down certain hallways, there was that buckle in the floor.

Ever since the Fuku quake, I watch the quake maps even more frequently, checking them throughout the day, and have a mental image of the usual worldwide activity. I had noticed, up until maybe a month or two ago, that the west coast of North America was relatively quiet, compared to the rest of the Pacific "ring of fire" [link to www.worldatlas.com] Now, it's really active all up and down, from Mexico to northern Canada, where before we had just mostly 1's and 2's. It definitely has our attention here. I do feel that a lot of California is doomed to have the big one and a lot of us could very well die, in the most extreme case. May as well enjoy life daily and just prepare as we can.

So why are these seemingly minor, shallow earthquakes, creating this 'boom' phenomena around the U.S. & Canada?

About an hour ago i watched a news story on hln. They were reporting people from Oregon to California heard a huge boom and it rattled their house. They report that it was a fireball. Sorry cant post a link from my p.o.s phone. Google "hln fireball/meteor in Oregon/California"
Im pretty surprised this hadnt been posted yet

they are ALWAYS foreshocks when reported here

watch this!!!!!!!!

I don't see anything on that. Check this link for latest reports of such events:

I've checked Google several ways for something from today, but find nothing so far.

Here's a guide to our current Lyrid meteor shower

signs and portents.

I'm in the Sunny Hills area, LA County border, didn't feel or hear anything

the booms are something else

by the way... this one actually had a BOOM sound to it.. right before I felt the jolt.. I heard a deep boom..

to the people who are saying stuff like "earthquakes aren't rare in california"

no they aren't, however we rarely feel the ones that happen daily.. but that aside.. I've lived here for 29 years.. experienced the bigger quakes and the smaller ones..

this was very much different than all of those.

BOOM- quick jolt that felt like it might get bigger - then nothing..

quickly checked chandaler (this has always been my method to check if there has been an EQ or not)

it was not moving... it normally moves even on the smallest quakes like this 3.9

Im actually very suprised on how wide spread this EQ was felt..


anyways.. long story short..
