ChrisL Posted November 30, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 30, 2018 I saw that on the news feeds. 7 is no joke and by that clip it was a pretty long one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted November 30, 2018 Share #11 Posted November 30, 2018 My sister-in-law and her husband are OK - broken dishes and stuff; I don't think they've evaluated the house yet. They're waiting to get their daughter from school - lots of roads damaged. They just had a lot of work done on the house this summer. (edit - their daughter is home) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted November 30, 2018 Share #12 Posted November 30, 2018 Just saw on the news that there have been 35 aftershocks, ranging from 3 something to 5 something. I've never heard of 35 aftershocks before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it starts in NorCal, goes up through the PNW into Canada hooks across Canada and drops down to Japan. All of those areas are earthquake prone.

Prophet Zacharia Posted November 30, 2018 Share #15 Posted November 30, 2018 Aren’t you supposed to stand in a door frame or similar supported structure during an earthquake, not dive under a table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desks and not tables. Tables crumbling under falling debris. Doorways better in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doorways really are not recommended and we don't train to do it. ( I train emergency preparedness for our company). The main cause of injury & death is falling objects, bookcases & such. Drop & cover is the catch phrase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted December 1, 2018 Share #22 Posted December 1, 2018 I've only ever felt one Earthquake, several years back. We never got earthquakes until fracking began in the Mid Atlantic and the one we felt around Baltimore originated in central Virginia - near a fracking operation. My sister, a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, felt a few shock waves. I, at home, felt just one. It was as if a big truck had slammed into the house and knocked it off its foundation as I rocked back and forth once. Fortunately there was no damage because the fracking company wasn't going to pay a cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the one you mentioned hit which was really close to her and did a fair amount of damage. She used to call my wife every time there was an earthquake on the news. There was an earthquake are you OK!!! Uh we had an earthquake? The magnitude is important of course but a much smaller earthquake centered near you can feel much worse. I was on top of the epicenter if a 5.4 and I thought the building was gonna come down. Northridge was bad but it was too far away to do any real damage in my area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
