Guest Gary C Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Oh God! "I heard some cracking sounds, like Rice Crispies," said Mike Wong. "I didn't think much of it, but I kept hearing it, and then I started feeling a shake. I thought, 'You know what? I think that might be an earthquake." The humanity! "I'm shaking like a leaf ... the pool water was just going everywhere," said Jean Nelson in Indio, California, outside of Palm Springs. Should've jumped in. Free wave machine! I have some friends in LA right now, but from afar this all sounds very tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 This is the first time I've witnessed a breaking news story through Twitter feeds and my God, there are a lot of paranoid people in California. Infuriating knee-jerkers. Maybe they shouldn't legalise weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 According to the Web bot predictions , 10 more major earthquakes will occur in 2010. according to my calculations one king of pop died in 2009 extrapolating from the previous rate of 0 deaths per king of pop in 2008 this means an infinite number of kings of pop will die in 2010 isn't extrapolating small datasets awesome?

QBLA Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 i was sitting with my aunt and in the middle of the conversation i felt myself swaying but thought i was dizzy. she had a weird expression on her face and i saw a tree in front of her house sway and there was no wind. then she was like "was that me or did you feel that too?" then i felt another sway. it was a weird quake as i'm used to the more rumbling ones.

baph Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 that was a prelude to the big one that will push california into the sea. C'mon guys. It was a 7.2, which is huge; fortunately the rupture happened in a pretty unpopulated area around the border. I felt it here in LA; if you're in some of the newest earthquake-friendly buildings, it can feel sort of intense-- they sway a lot longer than the actual earthquake itself. The building I was in at the time (the Annenberg Space for Photography, which is awesome) forced an evac even though everyone thought it was pretty minor. The reason was that the big one in MX seemed to have triggered a few smaller ones a few minutes later in CA. There was a 3.9 somewhere and a 4.0 or 4.1 or something in Malibu. So the evac was just a precaution in case those weren't just aftershocks. Most people here aren't all that paranoid about earthquakes, but if you're not used to them they are a little upsetting. Just because some dipshits tweet about it or because some news source wants to make sensationalize yet another minor LA thing doesn't mean everyone is running around here pulling their fucking pubes out in a panic.

baph Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Also: fortunately this one didn't devastate a huge population or anything, but some of the pictures from Mexico show that it was big enough to severely fuck up individual, already poor, peoples' livelihoods, so basically, shut the fuck up, you twats.

Braintree Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've only felt one since living in California, but it just made everything in the room look like jell-o. It was pretty cool. While on acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yeah. I quickly realised that I had named this thread inappropriately. I wanted to only focus on the escalated level of fear in LA, in which the earthquake seemed very sedate, and not the actual epicenter in Mexico. Of course it's a hundred times more serious for anyone near the site in Mexico. I just wanted to laugh at manic Californians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
