Earthquake

[DarkLight523]

Seriously, an earthquake just happened here in Orange County, CA.

That thing lasted for 90 seconds. KCAL news was covering an interview with one of the new Lakers when it happened live.

Anyone else in Southern California feel that?

it's on the news here in Australia, it's 6.9 on the rickter scale i think.

Haiti, Chile, now California.

Maybe it's Emmerich trying to destroy the world because people talked bad about 2012?

...it's 6.9 on the rickter scale i think.

That's like a stroll in the park for California. Besides this one was in Baja California. As in Mexico, not the US.

It's not really as bad as you would like to believe, in Washington here we have had about 18 earthquakes in the past two weeks. Anything under about a 3.5 never even gets reported. There where two earthquakes since this 6.9 in Mexico in Northern California that where 4.0 or higher. The earthquake in Mexico happened 15 minutes ago.

I found you a map of all the recent quakes within the last week in the continental US.

Well, when there's one earthquake, there's more to come. How many is that now? Like 6 or 7?

Yes! This is what I have been saying all along! For the sake of humanity, give this movie a second chance!

Seriously though, I can't imagine feeling the ground shake like that. Must be really freaky.

More like hundreds. Have a look at all the recent quakes (as in during the last week) in and around the continental US.

Why point that out?

Cause this crap happens all the time only the interconnectedness and speed at which we hear information, but the way we remember causes us to think that it's happening more often in recent times then it ever has before.

Seriously though, I can't imagine feeling the ground shake like that. Must be really freaky.

I have been through a few big quakes, one as large as a 7.0 with an epicenter 32 miles from where I was. Yes it is a little strange. I could see through the window of the house I was in that the fence posts in the field where waggling back and forth, snapping the wires attached to them.

So what you're saying is... That Emmerich planned this long before we hated on 2012?

Even before he was born!?

THE BASTARD! He must be stopped!

 

[War Penguin]

Yep, felt it here in LA. It was weird. It wasn't too shaky, it was just long.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

An Earthquake in California!? Unthinkable!

I remember being in one during my trip to Japan. Having never experienced one before, I was confused as to why the building was shaking.
