Here's a visual of the aftershocks. Marching right up the San Andreas fault headed for you Rockfarmer. http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/FaultMaps/116-33.htm. Hang on!


Woo Hoo.  Felt the original, but none of the aftershocks.

For those around the globe not all that familiar with Eqrthquakes, this  main event was stronger than the quake that hit Haiti where over 250,000 lives have been lost, however, reports as of this morning are that there are 2 fatalities from this event.  One from a collapsed building and the other from a person being struck by a car as he was escaping his home.    I suspect that number will climb somewhat thought the next few days, but the devistation is nothing compared to what it could have been.  The area hit by this quake has a low population density and very few high buildings.

By other contrast, the quake that hit Chile, was over 50 times stronger than this one.

Re: Southland Shaker

The morning news had a prominent seismologist expressing concern about the additional pressure this places on the two big adjacent fault lines that had a 99% chance of producing a 7+ quake soon (within 10 years). He talked about the precursor trigger quakes that led to this one and said this big one could be a trigger for more. Seismologists thought the next big one would have been on one of those major faults which are only 50 miles north of the epicenter.  yikes  We were very lucky that this one occurred in a desolate area. Here's hoping that luck continues.

It won't continue.  This is going to rip apart and soon.  In my projected lifetime.  They aren't going to come out and predict it, but I do.

Not just dogs Rick. I will stick my neck out and say, most animals have a sense to flee danger, before it's upon us! It's well documented as fact!

Used to? Speak for yourself! We are shaking still and again here.  Hundreds and hundreds and and hundreds and hundreds, well you get the picture of aftershocks.  I have felt little one always, now it is a major disruption to me.  All I do is ask everyone did you feel that (and am losing sleep)? Funny story at work Saturday I told a guy near me (very few there) I WASN'T going to do my usual spiel of asking "Did you feel it"? today... Later on he got all excited and hollered he felt one!  Ironically it was one I did NOT!!! lol  We got a good laugh out of that.  Later in the night, the few of us were taking a break and I HAD to ask "Did you feel THAT"? All I got was the usual you crazy man look, so I excitedly said "C'mon I HEARD that one"! (I did).  Just then the building alarm was goin' off crazy, the boss comes running thinking someone's breaking in.  It turned out it shook the far end of a large building and farthest back door alarmed... I have some believers now.  That was a fairly weak one too, but a tad closer.... Two 4.4's and a 4.8 less than an hour ago... ROCK ON!!!!!!!

Yeah, heard that early Tuesday. We are always fortunate that consideration has been given to a code and standards in these parts.

Re: Southland Shaker

Here's a real good look at the effects close to the epicenter for those who have never experienced a strong quake. Mexicali hotel, about 50 km from the epicenter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2m73DIvEBM The first tremor hits at about 0:43.

I feel them too. Our house sits on an adobe clay bed and it jiggles like a bowl of jello.
Shaking and quaking and watching the activity creeping up that fault line.  yikes
