At 3:40 this afternoon I was just eFiling my 2009 taxes. While the transmit was going on I felt the earthquake! I wonder what that means? What I am referring to is the 7.2 magnitude near MexiCali. I live about 150 miles (as the crow flies) away from the epicenter and there was quite a bit of rock and roll here. It is weird to see the garage heave and sink in comparison to the house (Buells are ok). Yep. Never a dull moment in CA  | ||

This is a great site: http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/FaultMaps/116-3 3.htm Real time updates every 5 minutes. Look at the friggin activity, I've never seen it like this and I check it daily. My wife felt the whole thing for almost a minute, I didn't feel it at all standing at the sink. | ||

Thanks for the well wishes! Keep in mind, this far away it is only jittering the nerves. @Jeremy: Keep in mind the New Madrid fault @Americanmade..: I got an email later accepting my return. No guarantee I won't be audited. Glad I bought the audit consultation through Intuit. This was a a "strike slip" quake. It generates a lot of aftershocks (release of energy along the fault line). I was nervous today until I could pinpoint the fault line where the quake occurred. It was on La Salada fault line (short and east west oriented). Had it been at the start of San Andreas, San Jacinto or Elsinore fault, a 7.2magnitude could have rippled a long way! And that could have spelled "the big one" | ||

Yeah, the New Madrid says "I hate Missouri". | ||

When Cali breaks off, will it capsize like Guam? ~SM | ||

Cali is all ready upside down. | ||

Cali doesn't worry me. I worry about Yellowstone. The park had a major swarm of earthquakes in jan - feb and have had 3.0s the past 2 days. | ||

Super Volcano time soon? ( bad movie, but the documentary from Discovery is great. ) | ||

Cali won't capsize. It will just fall over to the left.  | ||

I was working, hanging the world's heaviest doors (yea, on Easter Sunday - get it when ya can) in Silverlake (near downtown L.A.) and didn't feel a thing. Didn't even know there was an earthquake til I got home and saw it on the news. Eventually, everything East of the San Andreas Fault will be under the Atlantic. Al | ||

Interesting reading about the Yellowstone Dome. http://www.yellowstonepark.com/MoreToKnow/ShowNews Details.aspx?newsid=50 Lived just north of there (Bozeman) for 6 years. We had occasional small earthquakes. G |
