Imagine Batimore thugs...ending up in QUEENS NYC? or DETROIT MI.
no that would not be that good
worse would be almost... anywhere else
This one got my attention good.
We’re only about 1/2 mile from the epicenter, and it felt like a big dynamite blast. I could see the window in front of me flex in and out.
I went outside to see if any neighborhood houses had gone airborne.
4.0 ... epicenter 1 mi south of Concord. per USGS
We were both seated, that must be why we felt it, waited to see if it would go on but it seemed to be just a jolt.
i hear ‘ya. native californian here too. i think down here in libland we just designate you guys up in redding as ‘south of the oregon border’ :)
Many consider anything above San Luis Obispo to be NorCal. Certainly anything below there is SoCal.
Might have been talking about the 4.0 prior to that
USGS mapped it almost exactly in the center of Concord (about 1000 feet southerly of the Concord Police station)
.
I remember being ib a store immediately adjacent to a firehouse jn nearby san Rafael several years ago when a smallish quake struck
It sounded exactly like a fire truck..had hit the wall next door!!
everyone form the store hurried out to the street...and the firestation..
some quakes such as that one actually make far more noise than they do any perceptible shaking
t
4.o quailifies....! Thanks
Let me know if there’s a 7.
WILL DO! IF I CAN!!
.
From Corte Madera to the main San Rafael Freeway off-ramp, the first 1000 feet or so in on bay fill. Not very stable.
At the south end of San Rafael, on the west side of the 101 freeway, There is a small light industrial park with about 6 or 8 buildings, that have sunk 5 or 6 feet since the place was built.
Another one in Corte Madera, east of the freeway, maybe 20 buildings, same thing.
I used to do lots of elevation surveys in them for court cases about 15 years ago.
.
If there’s a 7, you’ll feel it too.
Actually, anything between Santa Barbara and San Jose is called the Central Coast.
The place I was working at the time was at the corner of third and irwin....Real Spongy...around there.
State Senator Barbie Boxer had the office below mine....
I remember the sound of the machine tamping of the rocks they were laying down to build The VIllage at Corte Madera over..
That is true, but nevertheless Santa Barbara is considered to be a northern California city.
Indeed they do, late one warm night the window was open in the bedroom and we heard the Hayward fault crack, rather disconcerting.
A good quake around there will send the whole ferry slip area sliding into San Pablo Bay.
“...distruction?” :)
