Which says a great deal about the ignorance of Vegas. Seems they don't realize that the San Andreas is _west_ of San Francisco, and it's a strike-slip fault where one side is moving north and the other south. So, one day, Los Angeles will be west of San Francisco instead of south of it.
I was sitting in my home office one morning chatting with my husband and the house began to move. It was like being lifted up in the air a few inches and back down several times. My monitor shook, too. We both looked at each other like, "What the XYZ was that!!? Did you feel that?" Sure enough it was on the news that we'd had an earth quake.
There's a new movie out called San Andreas about the "big one". I haven't seen it yet, though.
We've had tornadoes, have weakened hurricanes come through, and now we're getting regular earth quakes, too.
Did you write this post Uncle M?
Is that My new nym now Stormy? :')
LOL!! Big time computer guru can't even read headers.
Really? Shakers in the midwest are very rair, at least they aren't reported often. That's all you need...a windy and rainy storm with a shaker and a mixer to boot. 8-o
Still beachfront and island realestate after the big one hits. Buy now at bargan basement prices!
We play dodge tornado quite often. When it's the season tracking them street by street can be akin to a sport, even. lol
lol No chit!
First I've heard about it. I'll see what's on the interweb about it. Thanks Maggie!
You do make Me smile and laugh Stormy...thanks for that. :D
Was it a fun ride? :D The 6.2 roller we had back in 1969 was a fun ride until we saw the damage it did and the loss of life it caused. Any shakers we get now reminds us of the damage and loss of life a big quake can cause.
We are fairly close to the San Andreas fault here. there are several other faults here and in San Diego that slip, but the 'big one' will cause the most damage and loss of life. The home owners insurance Co.s are advertizing shaker insurance now and making a bundle. They know there won't be enough money to rebuild, so they will go BK and live off the billions instead of paying off homeowners that lost their homes and their lifetime possessions.
Good idea...surf the new island!
Are you in the 405 area Bill? I watch "STREET OUTLAWS" all the time. :')
Where will we go, when there's no San Diego? SHHH! Better get ready to tie up de boat in Idaho.

You probably have them all the time.
I missed our last one in DE as I was riding in the car at the time and vibrations did not come through.
Maybe 40 years ago I woke up to what sounded like a big truck driving down the street to go back to sleep and read in next day's paper that we had an earthquake.
