The earthquake information delivered through Bigquake notifications is
preliminary. Subsequent review usually results in some revision to the
data, and all users are advised to check the USGS earthquake program
pages at http://earthquake.usgs.gov for updates. Data users are
cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information
before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or
the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational
consequences. Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and many are either
not large enough to cause damage or not located sufficiently close to
populations centers to produce damage. This e-mail does not imply an
impending threat.

Bigquake is an informational tool and NOT an earthquake or tsunami
warning system. The USGS does not produce tsunami warnings. For the
information about tsunamis, please refer to the information given in
the NOAA website http://tsunami.gov .

Events of magnitude 6.5 or greater are generally reviewed and posted to
Bigquake within 2 hours of their occurrence and events of magnitude 5.5
to 6.5 are generally posted to Bigquake within 24 hours. Additionally,
processing and sending the messages typically takes 30 minutes. The USGS
cannot guarantee the receipt or timeliness of an e-mail after sending.

I'm in pocatello, Idaho.. In a movie theatre at the time and didnt notice anything.....

[waksupi]

That one was quite a ways south. Earthquakes are pretty common here. It's kind of eerie to be laying in bed at night, and hear one rumbling through the mountains, before it gets to you.

[PatMarlin]

That would be freaky.

Til this day- native Kalifornian for some 46 years and I have yet to feel one earth quake.

I slept though the Loma Prieta (sp) world series quake in 1989.. :mrgreen:

[John F. Lang]

I didn't sleep through it!

I was TDY for an Aerospace Co. out of New Mexico and my wife and I were at Fishermans Wharf at Pier 39.

All the steel light poles going up from Beach Street looked like they were made out of Spagetti. They were really dancing!

We would have been on the Nemitz Freeway if it wasn't for the traffic for the game.

Took us an hour and a half to get there from San Jose with braeakfast and five hours to get back!!

I guess when it's not your time, it's not your time.

My wife had wanted to feel a quake. Well, she got to feel a good one that day!

I was on the Nemitz Freeway earlier, and I was headed back home to Sacramento and took a nap from the long drive down south. That's why I slept through it... :castmine:

That was a scary old freeway before it collapsed. Why in the heeck they have those double decker things in the bay area for cryin' out loud, I'll never know.. :groner:

A quake needs to be about 5.0 before Californians start noticing them.

I spent the evening of the two Landers/Big Bear quakes in the company of a red-haired lady from Indiana--in Big Bear Lake. THOSE were noticeable.

[Wayne Smith]

I remember sitting in a chair in our apartment in South Whittier, CA when a 3.5 occurred. Feeling the earth move was very short and abrupt, but about the most insecure I've ever felt. Didn't really realize what it was until I noticed the chandelier swinging with no wind.

Did she say she felt the earth move?????????????

[9.3X62AL]

Well.........more than twice.

Folks from back east do NOT do well when earthquakes occur--and being 4 miles from the epicenter of a 7.6 and 20 miles from a 7.0-----only a few hours apart--really makes them get unbolted. On our drive out of town the following morning, the one building that was destroyed--left standing, but no structural integrity--was the restaurant we'd had dinner in the night before. She was really upset.
