I didn't feel the one yesterday but I sure felt this one. I am near Fresno. It made me slightly car sick.
And the dogs didn't even bark. I guess they're tired from barking at fireworks last night.

No wonder. 7.1, 11 miles out of Ridgecrest.

I felt it in Vegas.
It was pretty mild but also long. I took a pee during it.
I'd forgotten how disorienting they are. You just assume the ground is going to stay in one place. When it doesn't, it kinda messes with you for a minute.

Yeah, it felt like vertigo a little bit, and that's some scary stuff.

80% of San Francisco was destroyed after a 7.8 earthquake, though it was due mainly to resulting fires.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

Somebody on TV said the ground fell 4 feet where they were. Pools sloshing 150 miles away had waves of 4 feet.

Seismologist said the ground moved 3 to 4 meters (10-15 ft) during this latest one. They're going to check the stats from their instruments and come right back on for 11pm pacific news stations live, in about 9 minutes.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I was hodling in my car and was like "Damn, it's windy out there, wtf!" Then I was like,,,nah, it can't be that windy, and I figured some dumb*** was behind my car shaking it or something. Then I got a few messages of people like "0mg earthquake!!!!!" and I was like O_O

Hard to do, but I give CNN credit for still covering this story. While the racist Joyless Reid is Oing on air about Kamaltoe and Fox is spewing GOP talking points, CNN is covering actual news.
Maybe they realize no one on either side is watching them bash Trump 24/7 and are going back to news. Probably wishful thinking.
Be safe everyone out West!

They are probably still covering it while thinking of an angle to blame it on Trump. It will probably be something like:Quote: BozHard to do, but I give CNN credit for still covering this story.

Sadly, I haven't felt any of them in Las Vegas.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Had that same feeling sitting in my car. I was like, "Did one of my tires blow out." Got out and checked it and couldn't see anything wrong and spent an hour worried that the engine or something was about to fall apart. Then heard about the earthquake.
