Clint,
the Slymar quake was on Feburary 9th 1971....I remember it well since it woke me up, I kept falling down ( I thought I was having a stroke ) until I saw swaying electrical poles through my apartment window. Funny, it was my last day as a resident of California ( I had a job offer in Florida )....give me a hurricane any day [Razz] The 1971 quake updated most of the building codes or Northridge may have been worse........

So far, there have been a series of more than 50 aftershocks as well as two small quakes in the Bakersfield area of the San Andreas fault.

Gee Phil, that's relatively close to you (within a few hundred miles). Maybe you should move to Rochester. [Smile]

I only felt the main earthquake. There was a gentle swaying. Nothing fell off the shelf, but the blinds in my office swayed back and forth. it did seem to go on for quite a while, though.

I didn't even feel it. I was too busy counting Junior Mints I suppose.

A couple months since last post in thread.
-------

I just felt something substantial at about 3:30.

Radio reports 3 earthquakes just minutes apart.

1.9 in central CA
followed minutes later by
5.1 off baja coast
then
4.7 in lancaster or agora hills.

Geoligist believe that one in lancaster may have been a computer glitch.
Credible information will be linked once it becomes available.

Got to "ride the house" for a second. Fun! [Big Grin]

----
Update - the 4.7 was removed from the USGS. It was a glitch. The quake we felt was definately the baja one.
----
Link . It was a 5.2.

I dunno. Nothing earthquakey here in Escondido (North County). Maybe that`s just the Mormon restrictions playing tricks on you... There is nothing really wrong with tits! I have seen them... It didn`t do any damage to me.
Mike...tits are good, they taste good, they smell good, they feel good, don`t believe your parents - believe Joe and me!
