3. Probably no more than high 3.

As long as it's no precursor to anything further... thanks for the well wishes.

5. Hasn't there been some very deep tremors in that region?

6. Check around on the USGS site - they have histories and information about past events

And would have a link to the California earthquake monitoring sites, too.

12. there was a story on DU a short time ago. That talked about worries

brought on by these deep tremors in the San Andreas fault.

14. Yes, there is plenty of worry about the strains developing along the fault lines

But there is no way our science will be able to predict when, where, and how that strain will be let loose. There could be lots of little quakes that would release the strain over time, or one massive quake all at once.

Just be ready and stay safe!

17. New Madrid is the closest big fault line in my region. There's several others

passing through my town, but nothing major.

New Madrid could destroy much of the Midwest. To the east the hard limestone of the Cincinnati Arch would ring like a bell.



The rock in this region is about 400 million years old.

18. New Madrid look scary.

My relatives in Illinois would be most unhappy. :-(

19. My wife lived in Nashville in an old creaky house. I was concerned.

4. Yup...

Felt it here, in Manhattan Beach...

If I hadn't been sitting down, I most likely wouldn't have felt it...

[devilgrrl]

7. Didn't feel anything up in WeHo

Then again... I could have mistaken it for a truck or harley. :hide:

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. 3.2 according to USGS... I also brought up Mozilla due to the app

If I were of a religious bent I'd say a wrathful god... fill in the blanks

11. if your new to earthquakes

the single jolts aren't the ones to worry about, its the ones that go on and on and on.....

[demoleft]

13. sorry to hear it. we've been living with tremors for months now...

...here in Abruzzo Italy, after the big quake in april. no fun.

take care!

[Hepburn]

16. We did?

:shrug:
