Earthquake !!!

[member979979]

Just had one here and holy shit!!! I'm a California native but the last time I felt one was back in 1992 and this one just now was mild but I got scared shit less:eek:
I was sitting at my desk and jumped up and stood under the doorway. Ironically, I stood there watching my bobbleheads shake like crazy :1orglaugh Is standing under a door still the right thing to do? I remembered that back from elementary school, but that was back when kids were skinny enough to fit under their desks.

It's a scary, freaky thing when the earth moves under you. I felt one when I was in Hawaii, but it was just a small vibration.

I've always been told that getting under a desk or table is the best thing to do if you can't get outdoors.

 

[Kingfisher]

That sucked. I was at my desk and my monitor started jumping around. Earthquakes suck ass!

 

[squallumz]

where was it based at?

 

[Jagger69]

Any tsunami warnings out?

 

[member979979]

They say on the news that the main area was in Chino Hills and it spread all over through LA, San Diego, and even Las Vegas.

It was crazy. At first it was a huge jolt, like a construction worker jackhammering too hard, and then shaking. And thats when your shit your pants.

hope that's not a sign that means more to come.

 

[squallumz]

/\ probably. how big was it?

 

[Legzman]

It was 5.6 So not as nearly as powerful as it could have been. Now had it been a 9. something like the one on christmas day a few years ago...the whole town would be flat!

 

[Mauser98k]

i felt it too (i'm in San Diego). oddly enough, my pets couldn't have cared less

The serious question to ask about a Los Angeles area earthquake...

How is this affecting the porn industry? Will there be fewer than 500 new releases next week? How are Puma Swede and Sandee Westgate doing? Which porn niche will be most affected... all girl or interracial?

This might sound strange but I have always wondered what it would be like to see a earthquake on video from a helicopter or a plane. Anything attached to the ground would shake along with it. It would make me wonder if one would actually be able to visually see the waves flowing through the ground.

We had one in the Bay Area last November, beginning of the NBA season I think. I just sat and kept on watching the shaky TV, 5.5 not all that bad. Now the one in '89 that was a killer, I mean the Giants lost the WS to the fucking A's. And the earthquake was pretty bad too.

I'm in OC and I was 6 floors up. The building was swaying like a motherfucker. It's not the first time I've felt an earthquake, but definitely the highest I've ever been in one. It was an experience to say the least.

Hmmmmmm...............

There was the big quake in the Indian Ocean back in 2005, then the china quake here a couple of months ago. Those areas are on the western part of the pacific plate, California is on the Eastern part of the Pacific plate.........I think the big one is coming people. They said the big one is due to strike within 30 years.

It's gonna make Las Vegas beach front property!

LOL!

Peace.

I seen this on my news I'm just glad everyone is OK.

I remember that one too, my first night back at home in about two months and I was sitting on my bed talking on the phone, and I thought I had broken my bed :rofl:

Now the one in '89 that was a killer, I mean the Giants lost the WS to the fucking A's. And the earthquake was pretty bad too.

Hey the series worked out for me

 

[Bigoldowls]

There's a really big one due soon - not that I'm causing you to worry. :tongue:
