[Junkdrawer]

[whistle]

3. Wow, where? How big? What damages? Anyone hurt?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

4. Big or small? And what area?

Was it the usual quiver or an honest shake?

[Zorro]

6. Heard the rumble in San Diego County

No shaking though.

[ccpup]

12. 4.7 is powerful enough to get your attention

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Thanks for the info

Almost all of my family is dispersed throughout California and I was concerned.

[TahitiNut]

16. 2.5 aftershock

map 2.5 2007/09/02 10:31:15 33.736N 117.476W 10.2 13 km ( 8 mi) WNW of Lake Elsinore, CA

23. Here's the graph of your aftershock

I got this from the application Gee (Global Earthquake Explorer) the blank space in the center is from the graph refreshing just as I made the screenshot.

[TahitiNut]

29. Kewl. Clearly tectonic.

One can easily see how that's not at all the same as mining explosives or shaft collapses.

[alfredo]

31. It seems to have calmed down a bit. I am sitting here in Kentucky

waiting for the New Madrid fault to remake the midwest.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. Tiny little shake here at Big Bear Lake. eom

[lligrd]

13. Well, It Appears That Nobody But Me And The Dogs Felt It

I'm in Southern CA and the room I am in shook strongly. hmmm

[Shakespeare]

15. A 4.7---I'm in Hollywood and didn't even feel it!

One of the benefits of sitting halfway up the Hollywood Hills (in the Santa Monica Mountains) is that we feel much, much less shaking during earthquakes. I'm kind of shocked I didn't feel this.

[TahitiNut]

17. Rocks don't rock (as much).

:silly:

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. The talking head on TV said "in the Riverside area of the San Fernando Valley" LOL LOL

[lligrd]

20. Good Grief lol nt

[ccpup]

21. lol

is the talking head blond? oh please, oh please say yes! :rofl:

[TahitiNut]

26. Wow! That's geographically-challenged for ya.

And haven't lived in SoCal (Glendale) for over 50 years. :shrug:

[John Q. Citizen]

28. Is that like North South East and West of the Riverside area of the San Fernando Vally?

[kestrel91316]

36. The chirpy local TV bimbos are quite impressive, eh?

Never felt a thing here IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, which is nowhere near Riverside, or Santa Ana where the map shows the quake.

[Fire Walk With Me]

38. I'm temporarily in the hills and I didn't feel it.

However, it would go with the California prescription of "shake and bake", owing to the lovely temperatures we've been having.

Six of the seven signs of the Apocalypse can be found in LA.

[Shakespeare]

39. Which is actually kind of encouraging, when you think about it...

...if this is what the apocalypse will be like, we'll be just fine. :7

[Fire Walk With Me]

40. Ha! Just business as usual, nothing to see here, move along...

:-)

[lligrd]

42. Earthquake Weather lol

I'd almost forgotten about that until I felt it.

[alfredo]

19. Want to monitor in real time, try this:

30. Shit! Stay safe! The only earthquake I've experienced was a 5.1 about 100 mi north of me...

...back in 2002 (I'm in Saratoga Co. NY), and THAT was freaky.:scared:

[Richard D]

32. This is too small to cause much if any damage.

4.7 is considered a light earthquake. Some rock and rolling but very little potential for damage.

[cherokeeprogressive]

33. Hopefully, it relieves some stress and postpones The Big One. eom

[RaleighNCDUer]

34. I experienced a 4.7 once.

I was in traction on the 5th floor of a hospital and couldn't move if I wanted to.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective, but I found 4.7 to be plenty disturbing that day.

[alfredo]

35. I used to live just north of a branch of the Great Rift Valley.

The earth was rather restless there.

[kestrel91316]

37. They have had some large quakes up in Quebec historically, IIRC.....

[BeatleBoot]

41. I hope all is well.

With the recent quakes in Peru and Japan, it all makes me jumpy.

But then again, admittedly I have no idea what I am talking about.
