[mikeHAZE]

[SWORDMASTER X7]

It was a 5.6 quake, lasted 10-20 seconds. I hope everyone is allright, it was pretty scary. And because of the quake, one of my cats refuses to come in. And while I am posting this, I hear ambulances .

 

[Lesheik]

Oh my gosh. That's pretty big. I hope everyone is okay..

MATH QUIZ!!!

How magnitude more powerful is a 6.0 earthquake than a 5.0 earthquake?

 

[mikeHAZE]

how are the pictures doing? Are they okay?

 

[SWORDMASTER X7]

MATH QUIZ!!!

How magnitude more powerful is a 6.0 earthquake than a 5.0 earthquake?

100 times more powerful .

 

[nealdt]

That's a negative. Close though.

 

[SWORDMASTER X7]

That's a negative. Close though.

I meant 10 times more powerful, stupid pressing 0 twice and not double checking.

 

[xDARKLINKx]

lol nvm 10

 

[SuperSkeetBro]

whoa this was the first quake i have ever felt even tho iv been on the dround during a few. i coudl jsut never tell. i felt it aaaaall the way the hell out here in tracy. it shook my house enough to make my clothes in my closet swing back and forth.

its funny u say that about ur cat mike cause my cat predicted the quake. i was lying in bed and she was in my lap as content as ever, drooling even, then suddenly she stood up, paused for a moment, then ran out of the room. 10 seconds later the quake hit. freakin weird

 

[SWORDMASTER X7]

Cats are like ninjas, they see things before they even happen and know what to do right before it happens. That's why I like cats a lot.

 

[choknater]

All of Modesto felt it.

"My cat jumped before it happened!" (skeetbro's did too)
"My house shook!"
"I THOUGHT SOME TRUCK DRIVER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE!"
"That was my first earthquake."
"There are never earthquakes in Modesto!"

etc.

 

[Simna ibn Sind]

Sacramento felt nothing, but my Tracy cousins gave me a report.

 

[Snap]

i felt nothing

 

[Snap]

...but that's just cause im an emo.

 

[6th Sense]

Just outta curiosity, what times was it? My Dad and Brother felt a small quake down here this morning. I know the range couldn't be that far =P

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

In terms of energy released, it's about about 32 times as much. The thing that's 10 times as big is how much the needle on a seismometer reads, which does not necessarily translate into "powerful" ^_^

I felt it in Santa Cruz, about 40 miles south, I was getting out the door to leave my apt building when it stopped. No damage here. It was at about 8pm.

[Inkslinger]

5.6 and people are going crazy? I guess I must be hella old.

[$nuggles]

I knew using too much MP would cause all the ruckus.... Stupid muggles.

 

[Jem.]

Glad you're all alright. In Washington about five years ago, there was a huge quake. What was it, 7-8? (If anyone remembers) I was in Elementrary school running an errand during class and the ground was literally like waves in the ocean. Was so ill.

Around 2000 I lived in the bay area and we got slapped with a 5.4. It wasn't anything to serious, but I almost went through a glass closet door =/

I know it can be unnerving, and I'm glad to hear that no one was hurt. But seriously, you get used to them earthquakes when you live in the bay area. That is nothing but mountains up there.

 

[The Game II]

Well what I meant was, I was around in 89 for the Loma Prieta quake, so fivers don't make me go crazy unless there's mass destruction (unlikely).

I mean, there was one that struck San Jose during a sharks playoff game a few years ago that was fivesomething and I was like, whatever Nabokov just gave up a goal.

[KingJiggyWiggy]

What a coincidence, the SECOND I STEPPED outside the earthquake happened. I was like, "cool! look what my foot did!" But then I realized that all of the houses around me was shaking. It lasted around 5 seconds.

lol I know right? It wasn't bad at all and I see these old people outside having strokes and ****. I was laughing.

 

[Jem.]

Yeah.. Suprised 5.6 even makes the news nowadays.
