We had a 4.3 at 4:00am this morning.

Third quake of that size in the same area this week.

One step closer to having it fall off into the ocean. And why do you think I stay on the East Coast unless I'm working? :smug

Did you really create a thread about a mild earthquake in California days after a major earthquake hit Haiti, killing tens of thousands of people?

But Disney land is in California.  What's more important Malek?  really now.

Northern Cal got a 6.5 earlier in the week, but we've had three of this size in nearly the exact same spot in the last couple days.

That's just half-point difference from Haiti. Where is the humanitarian aid for NoCal?

IIRC patterns don't help predict anything, so it's not like this is building up to be a larger Earthquake.

The quake was terrible. It caused the neighbor's car alarm to go off. Manabyte had to live with the unbearable noise for five minutes before his neighbor woke up, went outside, and turned the alarm off.

At least the people in Haiti don't have to deal with that.

I don't think Malek has ever been in an earthquake. He'd feel a 1.0 and go running for the doorway.

perspective
3.
a. The relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole: a perspective of history; a need to view the problem in the proper perspective.
b. Subjective evaluation of relative significance; a point of view: the perspective of the displaced homemaker.
c. The ability to perceive things in their actual interrelations or comparative importance: tried to keep my perspective throughout the crisis.

Patterns are either:

1. The fault "letting off steam" to prevent a larger quake.
2. Precursor to a larger quake.

Both Northridge and Loma Prieta were after smaller quakes in the general area. Even the 6.5 last week in Eureka was following smaller 3.0-3.9 quakes right around the epicenter.

Actually yes, in Kansas (Western Kansas getting close to Col.) And those storms are fucking scary.

pfff you guys think that's scary?  Try attending a law class.  You think having to hid under a doorway at a little shaking is bad?  Malek has to hid under his desk every time someone looks at him.  Now that is living in fear.

Was it really 6.5?  I didn't even notice an earthquake much less a 6.5...

It's a logarithmic scale.  The Haiti quake was about 5.6 times more energetic than this one.

Still! Haiti is getting, what, $560 million in aid? So that's $100 million for NoCal. We don't want more than our share.

So then shouldn't Norcal be receiving more aid?

To put it in perspective, the one that fucked up Italy was a 6.3.
