After reading this, and Amber's post yesterday.....facing a dead-on hit from hurricane Rita right now.....this **** is just horrifying! We've been placed under a mandatory evacuation now....but we've decided to stay.....we have the means TO leave, but have too many animals, job committments, etc. But the roads out are disasterous....it takes 2 hours to get thru my little town that normally takes 6 minutes to pass thru beginning to end. The mall is seven miles from my house and my neice has been trying to get home since 1130 this morning---5 hours ago!!!!!

For godssake, stay safe and take care. Thoughts and prayers to all in any danger right now....the natural world is scaring the heck out of me, even all the way over here in lil ole England.

Whoopie s**t. Maybe a few grapes will fall off a vine and a poorly secured liquor store will lose a couple bottles of Ripple.

David, you're inciting panic around the globe with your "Chicken Little" outburst, now go sit facing a corner and play "The Second Time", "When I See You Again" & "Docklands" back-to-back 100 x's in a row until you learn not to react in such a flagrant manner.

Shame on you...

a 4.7...

...a Ralph's Market 18-wheeler going down Rio Vista Avenue causes the house to shake more than a quake of that magnatude. And, remember, you live in the same block where the multi-million dollar homes just slide down a hill for the heck of it.


And to those in Rita's path....Get to high ground!! Be safe!

A 4.7??

Please. Quakes happen every single day and most native Californians don't give a **** if there under 5.0.

There are also plenty of cool little freeware software programs that track all the little quakes every moment of the day, globally! Useless, but interesting. QuakeBar is my fav. Mac OS only.

Several more!!!!

It's like that movie "The Swarm" with Olivia de Havilland & all those killer bees!

Remember, all you need is 33,000 M4.0 quakes to equal the energy released in an M7.0 quake!!! So far, we're at about TEN & counting!!!

David, I'm currently hunkered down under my dining room table with my laptop, canned pork and beans and bottled water.

Be careful, Ken!!!

That gargantuan convergence plate boundary 50 miles offshore from you is gonna unzip from south to north before you can say "Bob's me uncle"!!!

HELP! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!

Actually don't all these quakes help take pressure off the San Andreas maybe saving us from a big one up here or in El Lay for at least a few more years?I'm no expert but that is what I seem to remember hearing.

I didn't feel a damn thing.
