If it had been real big Slum would have posted about it and you wouldn't have.  He was busy with the Pelosi news. Gotta stay on top of these things, ya' know.

My kids always referred to earthquakes as house surfing. Had them here and when we were in Alaska. Never been close to one over 5.7.

Slum beat me to the Pelosi news, but not to be outdone we just had a shaker not far from here. Centered near Cassel CA. Maybe 65 miles or so straight line distance.
First one I've felt since moving here. I sorta missed them after all the years in SoCal, over on the Coast, and in AK.
One of the dogs even got concerned and left the living room for the bedroom.

Heym, someone reported feeling it in K-Falls and on Hogback Mtn.

I worked on some equipment when they were drilling geothermal wells between Glass Mtn and Medicine Lake. One of the geologists told me the earth's crust is very thin and unstable there and there was a lot of pressure below 1,500 feet. He said see those trailers, that is 200 tons of barite and bentonite just in case we have to put the cork back in the bottle. Eventually, the Injuns court appeal shut them down because using radioactive tracers they discovered a crack, tunnel or leak to the Pit River 50 miles away. Spooky.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Did you folks feel it over there?
I bet that tunnel is one of the ones the ALIENS use going back and forth to Mt Shasta.
Underground warren of ALIENS in that mountain, been there forever. Catch 'em at the right time and you can see the ships fly out the top of the mountain.
Oh, you made me wish for some old E Euro woman to make me some cabbage rolls with that post of yours, dammit

What would I do without you and Slum??? Dude, have you ever felt an earthquake? It's amazeballs! Aug 23,2011 Virginia Sitting right here[100+ year old building, 2nd floor-1st floor has 14' ceiling so fairly high for a 2 story]. Was most likely posting on TNDEER as it was 5 months prior to joining here. Not so sure "amazeballs" is how I would describe it but spooky as crap once I figgered out why my monitor/desk/chair and then BUILDING were rocking! Was in central PA at my job that afternoon and remember it well. First and only time I've ever had the building shake with me in it. Was quite the experience.

I've felt quakes that were 4-5's, but they weren't close. It makes you think- "What was that?... Did you hear and feel that?"

Quakes ain't fun, ask me how I know. Yeah, you got hit hard. We were just far enough away when I lived over your way in the 90's to avoid major damage. Don't want to be too close, this one 65 miles away is about right. The one we had in December was pretty nasty. Screwed up Fernbridge pretty good, they're still working on repairs. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2023/aug/25/fernbridge-repairs-continue-caltrans-host-another/

Craigster, USGS once claimed that Petrolia is the most active place in the nation, 1,000 plus quakes in the last year. Few people, but the ones that live there probably can't go to sleep without the bed rocking a little.

I think you mentioned once you were there for the 3 big ones in 24 hours back around 93-94? That was not a fun day over there in Ferndale either. Craigster, USGS once claimed that Petrolia is the most active place in the nation, 1,000 plus quakes in the last year. Few people, but the ones that live there probably can't go to sleep without the bed rocking a little. Yep, Mendocino Triple Junction not too far offshore. Pretty shaky place. It may be a bit of a blessing according to some, as it might be relieving some "pressure" and holding off an 8 magnitude as has occurred in the past.

I was in the 1983 Challis ID 6.9 and the 1994 Northridge 6.7 quakes and tons of small ones. I will take those any day over a Tornado.

When I lived in Los Angeles, I experienced the '71 Sylmar 'quake, the Whittier quake, and the '94 Northridge quake, plus dozens of lesser "shakers." There was never any warning whatsoever for any of them. Just "BOOM!!" and you were shaking! I grew up in Tornado Alley, and if one were observant and listened to weather reports, watched the gathering clouds, one could prepare for "dodging" a tornado (or hurricane or flood, or forest fire, etc.) No warning for an earthquake. My opinion.  L.W.

I was at the Oakland/SF World Series the day before of the Loma Prieta quake. I believe 880 (IIRC) would have killed me the next day. That said, I was standing next to the crude and vacuum columns in our Martinez refinery when it hit. Stuff swayed and slid just as the engineers designed it to with 1960's design "tools". Badazz...

Was near Victorville for a 5.7.
Driving on I-10 in a semi.
They were talking about it on the radio, I thought it had happened days before.
Nope, just a few minutes ago, and I missed it in the truck.
Either the suspension absorbed it or, more likely, it just blended into all the other
bumps, jolt and tremors in that old cabover.

You could see the ground roll that day sloshing water out of swimming pools. 60 miles away from the epicenter it was rolling billiard balls around the bar pool table during that SF Giants World Series opener. I think it was the 580 that pancaked, Ed.
