I think I just felt an earthquake.

[slutticus]

My bed was shaking like in the Excorcist....

Or maybe I was just dreaming....

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. If you are in cali yuo just may

tomorrow I am putting together my earthquake kit, damn it....

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. I think it was an aftershock from yesterday. I haven't felt anything

in Marin.

[EFerrari]

13. I felt something but it was just Doug brushing his teeth.

:shrug:

[Algorem]

3. 6.9 said George Noory coupla minutes ago

near Eureka maybe?other was only 4.9

[doublethink]

4. You did ......

I just heard on the Radio there was just an earthquake 6.9 preliminary report near Erueka CA...... nothing else yet. Peace.

[slutticus]

6. Wow....my first earthquake.

I was laying in bed...and I felt the bed kind of shake..... So I got up and when I passed my closet......sure enough....my hangers were swaying back and forth. :scared:

[slutticus]

5. Shit....look at this Seismogram...

That sure as hell was an earthquake...

[AwakeAtLast]

7. Awww, man, I was gonna get to say for the 2nd time tonight,

NO SEX THREADS!!!

But now you've gone and explained the laughter away. :D

[Algorem]

9. each # on Richter scale is 10x stronger than one before,right?

so this one was 100x stronger than earlier one?

[slutticus]

11. It has something to do with the amplitude of the siesmogram...

...but essentially yeah....it's a log scale so each number means a 10-fold increase in amplitude. I'm not sure how that scales to the energy released by the quake though...

[Algorem]

20. they trying to use HAARP to create mother of all distractions?

The science of earthquake creation and avoidance make a big leap forward

http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/2811.asp

Major advancements are taking place all over the world in the science of earthquake creation and avoidance. Major breakthroughs are mind-boggling. We as human beings are not too far from taking control of our tectonic plate movements in the continental and oceanic crusts.

The Sun throws Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) which in turn are causing huge Solar Flares. Solar Flares (or “sparks”) are caused by the crashing together of the CMEs, which are of opposite polarity. To give you some idea of how huge these Solar Flares can be, more than a dozen Earths could fit inside of one. When such a “spark (or discharge)” occurs, charged particles are blown away from the Sun in gusty “Solar Winds”. And, they rain down on the Earth’s upper atmosphere and interact with the Earth’s magnetic field. Most of these ionized particles are absorbed and trapped within the Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts that encircle the Earth. When the Solar Winds of ionized gases are very strong and gusty, the Van Allen radiation belts are compressed deeper into the Earth’s atmosphere (i.e. they are closer to the Earth’s surface). This in turn greatly influences the frequency and intensity of Earth’s earthquake and volcanic activities. That also causes irregular and unpredictable weathers.

Unpredictable weather is common right now in every part of the world. That says that the Van Allen radiation belts that encircle the Earth are compressed and relatively close to the surface of the earth. Unpredictable weather can also be affected by manipulation of the ionosphere and the magnetosphere.

The smart computer model showed correlation between atmospheric electrical disturbances, electromagnetic emission, anomalous disturbances in ionosphere as well as magnetosphere and the earthquakes as well as volcanoes...

Bertell Reveals Many New Weapons of Mass Destruction

by Larry Ross, February 28, 2005

Comment on a book that “deserves to be read by everyone who cares a jot about their future”,
based on Moyra Bremner’s Review.


The book is: “Planet Earth the Latest Weapons of War” by Rosalie Bertell, a distinguished and world-famous scientist. She is a winner of major international awards for science. As a Catholic Nun she has dedicated her life to her continuous work for humanity.

What she reveals is unbelievably stunning – almost stupefying. Even I did not want to believe it at first, and I’ve been fighting against a global nuclear doomsday for over 50 years. But her credentials are impressive and impeccable.

She reveals how “the military is testing radically new weapons which imperil the earth and all life on it. Such as HAARP, which heats sections of the ionosphere until they bulge to form a curved ‘lens’ which will ‘reflect’ HAARP’s massive energy beams back to earth to destroy selected targets. She thinks ‘HAARP may destabilise a system that has established its own cycle for millions of years’ – protecting life on earth.

Or ELF, which ‘creates pulsed, extremely low frequency waves which have been directed deep into the earth itself, potentially disrupting delicately poised tectonic plates of the earths crust’ Off the Coast of Indonesia, tectonic plates in the Indian Ocean shifted to cause the Boxing Day Tsunami, killing over 250,000 people in 2004...

24. No. eom

[petronius]

29. The increase in energy released is about 31x

between one whole number on the Richter Scale and the next whole number...

[Daphne08]

8. There was another one...

OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

[Nailzberg]

10. I missed it this time...

I was on the 605 today around 2pm and thought I felt something, but that road is always crap, so I figured it was just potholes.

The only earthquake I've felt out here a 3.0 last fall. I miss everything!!!

[slutticus]

12. It wasn't much here near SF....

...It just felt like someone bumped my bed slightly...

[EFerrari]

14. We've had contractors with power tools here 8 hours a day for

weeks. So, I think everything is them.

Besides water, flashlight, first aid kit, dry rations, what am I forgetting?

:)

[slutticus]

15. Water purification tablets....just in case...

:)

[EFerrari]

18. Never thought of that. Mostly was thinking

How on this good green Earth do I tend to seven cats AND an old deaf dog AND a husband if the Big One comes?!

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

22. buy extra cat/dog food & water, cat carriers, & a vehicle that fits them

I have a bunch of indoor cats and 4 dogs and have thought of this myself lots of times-

Planning ahead with a bunch of suppies for yourself is a good idea too- coleman stove w propane, flashlights, battery powered radio, 50lb sack of dried beans, sack of flour, sack of rice, and some salt.

[MaryBear]

19. Calm yourself, slutticus.

:hi:

Earthquakes are way better than blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, flash floods, . . .

Get under your table if one scares you; or stand in a doorway away from windows.

Enjoy!

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. I can understand...

if an earthquake is better than a volcano, flood, tornado or hurricane...but I take issue with a blizzard, I quite like snowmen...lol. Quite frankly an earthquake would scare the hell out of *this* east-coaster!

[Mutley]

27. Me too!

[slutticus]

25. Hi MaryBear!

:hi:

How's it going?

[MaryBear]

26. Going pretty well!

Although I totally over did it last weekend! :hi:

I grew up in California, and earthquakes are familiar, interesting events for me -- although I did think I would die during the 1989 one! Anything under an 8 seems not so bad. And buildings/bridges that collapsed were known to be unsafe.

Instead of worrying we need to bug our elected folks to make sure structures are safe.

Earthquakes are also better than avalanches.

:scared: :hide:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Any routine medications would be good, I think....

Perhaps a change of clothing, or two...Otherwise, you look more prepared than most!

:hi:

[EFerrari]

17. You're so right and it's so impossible.

Keeping Doug stocked just for normal is hard enough. Imagine asking for an emergency stash of meds? Ack!

I'm gonna hafta go talk to those faults.

:rofl:

[The empressof all]

23. Hate Earthquakes

They are the worst of the natural disasters followed by tornadoes. It's the unpredictability factor and inability to escape from feeling it. With hurricanes and volcanoes there are fairly accurate predictions of when they will hit/blow.

It's very scary. I keep survival stuff in my car and in a shed in my yard-just in case I can't get in the house for some reason.

I've been in several earthquakes and have found that they make me quite ill afterwards. I don't know if it's motion sickness or what. But for several hours even after a small tremor (4 or so) I feel quite nauseated and head achey. Perhaps it's just adrenelin rush let down.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

28. I've been thinking about you!

With this swarm of quakes and after the DU earthquake talk last Saturday, I was wondering how you were doing. :D

Suprisingly I have yet to feel any of them, which is kind of unusual. Not that I'm complaining. It's all just a reminder that I need to update all my quake gear.

I have a great VHS tape on earthquake safety, if you'd like to borrow it. Even though I am a native, I still learned some new stuff that I have now incorporated into my quake plan.

:hi:
