No earthquakes/tornadoes/really bad hurricanes/mud slides/tsunamis/Muzslimes (well, up north here) ;o)
:o)
Hi it's bd476. Apparently something happened to my account, which prevented my posting this so I logged into my kid's account.
Agree that's it's something you never forget. Yet unlike you as a child in the middle of a big quake, as an adult it seems that I should have been somewhat immune to the initial fright.
The block I lived on at the time lost nine buildings that day. I was about 15 miles Southeast of the Northridge epicenter, yet directly over an otherwise unknown undetected fault line.
During a large quake prior to the Northridge quake which as I recall was around 5.8 Magnitude, I had grabbed my cat and dashed outside wearing only my extra large jammie shirt. I realized my indiscretion only when I heard my next door neighbor who was firmly entrenched in his doorway begin laughing and say "Hey, are you okay?" How embarrassing. :D
In my nearly two years stationed there the worst thing we had were typhoons..Okinawa’s buildings are concrete and pretty strong to withstand typhoons so hopefully any damage is minor..fingers crossed.
I loved Oki.
Okay, bout time...a 5.1 aftershock.

I wonder if magnitude 5.1 at a depth of 15 miles could cause a tsunami itself?
Normally it would not.
I think the big one woke up up Long Valley though. If you are interested here are the two main recorders showing relatively rapid small quakes.

If it continues I will start a thread for it.
OH yes BD! I follow the Earthquake site religiously and also the weather. Ernest is the best and you do a great job yourself!!!
I actually am on a California Earthquake Forum on Yahoo too!

Looks like we will have a sizable storm coming in tonight/tomorrow.
Silly California goons!!!! Just heard that we are in a drought!!!With all the technology given man, why are we not building more dams!!!! It runs off !!
God’s Wrath for Toyota.
Waiting for the 'big one' to strike Tokyo and Yokohama.
