Pope Flick Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The poeple in Cali are laughing at you Thighmasters. No chit. 5.8 - 6.0? LAND SURF!! I was about 2 miles from the Northridge epicenter in 1994, and that was a 6.8. THAT"S when you think you're going to die: building moves up and down like a jackhammer for 5 years 30 seconds. Although, a 6 is big enough so that if you were in the right area you can HEAR it, which is in fact probably the worst part of them - they noise they create coming from everywhere.

That's a true taste - smaller than that and you think a truck has simply driven by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I felt it here in Wilmington DE. I was at a red light and thought I was having engine trouble. Wow - same here. It was actually scarcely noticeable on the road otherwise though. My car did that weird swaying kinda thing like when you're on a bridge and a big truck goes by, or there are really strong winds. cept there was no wind or truck.

Azazello1313 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The administration has commissioned a study which revealed that the earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure faultine. They have named it "Bush's Fault" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
