Alcohol? I’ve read about the shaking.

The quake was centered on the Franklin Fault, which has been dormant for approximately 1.6 million years, according to USGS scientist David Oppenheimer.

1.6 million year dormancy?? uh oh

That’s really close to Davis, Ca. I hope my friend is ok.
He doesn’t answer his phone, and I’m worried.

I thought the drinker’s described the first stages of withdrawl as having Delirium Tremens, or, the Hebbie-Jeebies.

Your friend might not even have felt the quake. I have friends only 20 miles away and they are all fine.

Loma Prieta was definitely stronger than this one for me here in San Ramon. All I felt was gentle rolling last night.

Was it good for you?

[Crazy ole coot]

I was in Alaska in 1964 for the 9.2, and El Centro, CA for the 7.3 on Easter Sunday a few years ago. No big deal in the news then. I guess I am just a little more used to the earth moving then most people.

I vaped an E-cig. for a while, then went back to sleep.

Glad you are ok too. I was at San Quentin at the time of the 89 quake. Not fun at all. I used to have to drive on blood alley, 37 to 101 south, to get there. Also not fun. Fortunately, I was able to transfer to the Vacaville joint in 90.

I remember the big one in 64. I do not remember the El Centro one, but I do remember Northridge, I think it was in 94.

The $13 billion Oakland Bay Bridge from Red China. D'oh!

[patriot08]

Thank you. That makes me feel better.

Yeahm how’s that working out for them? I hear numerous repairs will be needed before it’s declared safe. This was before this morning’s quake. My hope is that Gov. Jerry future construction on Brown’s Great Train to Nowhere has been dramatically hampered by the quakes terrestrial changes.

For Northridge, I was in Monrovia at the time. I worked for McDonald Douglas.

At least with tornados you have a clue as to when to expect them.

True...but no tornadoes AND no mosquitoes! Cry me a river. :{) But seriously, I’m glad no apparent damage or injury was suffered.

I’ve been in about a dozen earthquakes, including major ones and most didn’t bother me a bit. But during the Northridge quake (I was working at the time and wide awake), I was literally scared out of my wits for about 5 minutes. The only word I can use to describe it is “vicious”.
