tbrown 26 #1 May 18, 2009 We just had a 5.0 shaker in the LA area tonight. Centered right around LAX. Felt pretty good in Orange County and it went on for a bit, seemed to stop, then went on a little more. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Pokerstar 0 #4 May 18, 2009 I was on the phone with my Mom when it hit, and she said it was a pretty good roller. She lives by the 405 and Santa Monica Blvd. Hope everyone is ok.Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #5 May 18, 2009 down here in san diego, heard some reports of people feeling it, but i didn't. however, the dogs were strangely restless this evening, to the point we had to put them outside so they could pace around without bothering us. They knew something was up!Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #16 May 19, 2009 Quote THAT was a 4.1? Seemed so weak in comparison to the 5.0. Hope you have your life preservers ready. We could fall off into the ocean any day now! You do know the Richter scale is logarithmic right... ther eis a lot of difference in force from a 4.1 and a 5.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale The Richter magnitude scale, also known as the local magnitude (ML) scale, assigns a single number to quantify the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake. It is a base-10 logarithmic scale obtained by calculating the logarithm of the combined horizontal amplitude of the largest displacement from zero on a Wood–Anderson torsion seismometer output. So, for example, an earthquake that measures 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times larger than one that measures 4.0. The effective limit of measurement for local magnitude ML is about 6.8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #20 May 20, 2009 I didn't feel the one today, but I was out in San Jacinto. (And I'm glad I didn't feel it, because I was handling dangerous chemicals at the time.) I think the one on Sunday turned out to be a 4.7, but I felt it pretty good at my house in Murrieta. Not particularly strong, but it seemed longer than usual - a little rollercoaster ride.
