67november Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Another reason i wouldn't live in CA, I'll keep the shivering versus the shaking any day, and today we're shiveriing at 91F with 70 degree dewpiont, I think our DA today is about 10,000000000 ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC120AV8R Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 We were flying at the time, heard about it from John Wayne tower. We checked the overpasses and reservoirs, nothing looked worse for the wear. Of course 911 lit up like a Christmas tree, because every goof and their brother wants to call and ask "what happened".

Rat Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) This was a good shaker. I have not felt one this strong since the Loma Prieta quake in the Bay Area in 1989. Edited July 29, 2008 by Rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badz32 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 We're fine, up here in MN. We get to wait for the madrid fault line to see some action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingseapig Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Darn It!! You mean the earthquake on the San Andreas fault didn't drop California off into the Pacific Ocean? I am devastated! I was hoping for something bigger to take more people out so all the Californians would stop moving up here to Oregon raising real estate prices. Just kidding! Glad it was a minor one. I am a California retread now living in Oregon for 18 yrs plus and have lots of friends and family there in Calif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor91 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was at work under our covered patio eating my lunch, paused as it started to shake, once the shaking subsided....I continued to eat my lunch.....if you freak out because of EQ, then you should either A) please move out of the state of CA(no offense) or Stop being a pansey...and buck up! It was fine, both buildings were empty in about 45 seconds....all the Einsteins standing next to the building or under the bridge.....did I mention both bridge and buildings are covered in glass?? AH..if someone would have been taken out by a glass....it's just natural selection! LOL My .02! RobR91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have slept through the entire thing had my sister not woken me up. This one however, made me a bit nervous because of my current working situation. I work in a supply room (I'm a lowley file clerk!), and I was sitting and scanning a few things into the system. It started to shake a little and I thought it was a truck pulling into the shipping bay. I stood up, and there's a few 60 pound boxes stacked 3 boxes high. They started to bounce (I'm 4 foot 11, and I was reaching to push em so they didn't fall over). Ahh, I hate this room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
