Sorry Ike-
I did search, but this article had a different title. Certainly, it is the same quake.
I found a site that shows there have been 8 major earthquakes so far in 2010.
Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon...
That big dam is damn big!
It impounded 4,270,000,000 cubic metres of water in a recent flood stage. One cubic meter contains 264.172052 GALLONS. Therefor, the dam is holding 4.69818107 × 109 - TONS concentrated in one (relatively) small space!!!

” Sorry Ike- “
Apology not necessary - as much as I love FR, I know that the ‘search’ function is pretty hit-or-miss.... ;~)
I asked, because large earthquakes like this can have equally strong aftershocks - so it could have gone either way.... ;~)
Thanks it just seems like every time I log here and earthquake happens....
Oh...maybe I should never log out?!
Seriously though...thank you for the links.
Ring of Fire!
were there any earthquakes reported during WW2?
On what planet? On earth, a gallon weighs 8 lbs. A quart is 32 oz....2 lbs. Four quarts in a gallon.
How much does the Pacific Ocean influence the wobble? It's a lot bigger. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.
Fox just reported the latest earthquake in Spain today, after the one in Solomon Islands.
Last week we had a 4.6 here in Wasilla, Alaska, I was standing on a reinforced concrete shop floor and it was an upward shard single jolt, the ones before were shakes, this one felt like a 200 ton weight was dropped real close.
I have been around 50ton stamping mills, this was a LOT stronger, I froze and waited for more, I did make my way outside...just in case.
The safety team I lead at the large west cost company I work for, is hosting a first annual Earthquake Awareness Fair in two weeks. We were at first wondering how much interest there would be in it. Don’t have to worry about it being a flop now. We picked the right year to start it, because it is expected now to be swamped with employees. Maybe as much as a thousand.
I will gladly accept your apology :>)
As a wastewater superintendent, if I used 8 instead of 8.33 to report pounds of a pollutant in the effluent, I would go to jail.
