Jazzmoose Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 But why does your avatar show Weizen being told that Bush and Cheney have abdicated and Pelosi is now President? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Dude, 5.4 doesn't even wake you up if you live in California... Depends on how close you are, and how close to the surface the epicenter was. I had a three-point-something that was only a few miles away (Daly City) that made me think the house was coming down. But then a 4.2 in the San Jose area went by and I didn't even notice it. But why does your avatar show Weizen being told that Bush and Cheney have abdicated and Pelosi is now President? That would be truly the outer limits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I got a gentle rocking but you could tell it was a quake. But I'm a long way away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Nice shake here in Sherman Oaks, start slow, then a decent jolt, but no damage. Just overloaded cell phones after the fact when everyone calls to say that they are all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Dude, 5.4 doesn't even wake you up if you live in California... Zzzzzzz...humph. Did somebody say 5.4? Wake me up when you get to 7..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 It was enough to have me spring out of my chair and stand in a doorway. A noticeable, but brief rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Does a 5.4 make jump the tonearm and cause a severe scratch to a Lexington pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieB Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 it was mighty scary to all in my third floor office. seemed to last a good, long minute of shaking and rumbling! Motion i was working on fell off my desk. my attorney boss thought it wasn't a good sign!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 My first serious earthquake experience was when I was a student at Pisa University. I was studying in the Scuola Normale library, top floor, a thirteen century building, the place where the infamous Count Ugolino was imprisoned with his family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugolino_della_Gherardesca It was the philosophical section of the library, apparently I was the only one who realized that an earthquake was going on, the other philosophy's students where so absorbed in their Hegel and Plato that didn't note that all the book shelves were vibrating. I understood that time that I wasn't a real philosopher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Pretty good jolt here on the 8th floor - biggest I've felt since Northridge. But as Bond would say: "shaken not stirred." Haven't heard of any serious damage, but those of you who have never experienced an earthquakes before woulda been callin' for momma.

7/4 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Crap. I never had that kinda fun when I visited. Anyways...it seems like folks are OK for now. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 It's apparently been downgraded from 5.8 to 5.4. More impressive stat that I just heard was that it expended only 1% of the energy of the 1994 Northridge quake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
