Last night I was awaken by my dog's growl. 2 seconds later a small one hit.

Kavid 2008-04-21 01:30 PM

Felt a 3.1 at the house today at 12:15 or so, shook the shit out of the computer monitor and me in the chair, freaked the cats out, the whole 9

You have 9 cats? Do they all sit at a round table.

Got some free time huh?

100_Percent_Juice 2008-04-22 09:25 PM

^I guess that makes two of us.

Dean 2008-04-24 02:49 PM

OK, that one was not funny. > 3.5 is my guess. Wonder if anything fell out of my garage rafters again?

moose 2008-04-24 02:51 PM

Woh, i just felt the earthquake just less than a minute ago. crazy

cody 2008-04-24 02:53 PM

I didn't even notice, but everyone else in the building did. I'm oblvious to them. I was living in the North Bay (Santa Rosa) when the Loma Prieta hit in '89 and was the only one who didn't feel it then too. :mad:

Talk about dull senses

JonnydaJibba 2008-04-24 02:58 PM

I thought I was losing it until my co- no shit it just happened again! What happening to Nevada?!

Okay, felt that one! Helps that I was upstairs this time, not on a 1 acre slab of cement (warehouse).

Dean 2008-04-24 02:58 PM

Damn... That one was almost as good.

moose 2008-04-24 02:58 PM

Holy Crap. Another one. Bye bye California.

SteveM 2008-04-24 03:00 PM

I just felt it on Mill and McCarren

moose 2008-04-24 03:00 PM

This is my first time really feeling an earthquake.:|

JonnydaJibba 2008-04-24 03:01 PM

The last time I felt one I lived in San Jose and it was during "The Big One" or whatever. Probably the same one that Cody speaks of. The highway flattening one.

moose 2008-04-24 03:06 PM

The first one was a 3.8 magnitude 2 miles out of Mogul and the second one was a 2.6 magnitude about 2 miles out as well.

Yup, the Cypress Structure collapsed.

Ah, yes, my finely tuned butt Dyno is right on..., I said > 3.5...

sperry 2008-04-24 03:15 PM

We felt the 3.8 one here at IGT. First time I've felt any of these recent quakes. Felt like someone fat was walking by my cube.

Seemed pretty minor to me, though I'm like 15 miles from the epicenter. Quakes don't bother me until they're in the 5.0+ range.

moose 2008-04-24 03:23 PM

There was also a 4.1 in the same area. and then after that there was a 2.5

cody 2008-04-24 03:28 PM

Where are you guys getting your info. According to this, the first was 3.8 and the 2nd 4.1

I guess there's been a bunch of little ones all day too:

moose 2008-04-24 03:30 PM

This is a current list of all the earthquakes this week. Including the 12 recent ones today.

cody 2008-04-24 03:35 PM

Okay, thanks, that page is easier to read.

doubleurx 2008-04-24 03:49 PM

I felt that 4.2 up here. Bye Bye Mogul!

What the heck is going on down there. You guys have had what 80 earthquakes in the last month.

Maybe you should take off your pants so your butt dyno is a little more sensitive!

Is there anything good that can come from wearing pants?

There is ether something grammatically or psychotically wrong with that sentence.

Here, let me rephrase that for you:

"Mike wants you to take off your pants."

Clearer?

Nick Koan 2008-04-24 04:14 PM

Or, it sounds more like a rallying cry.

PANTS ARE EVIL!
DOWN WITH PANTS!
PANTS ARE EVIL!

Yes, but equally disturbing. :) About 4.3 on the ickier scale.

Bob Danger 2008-04-24 04:18 PM

There is nothing wrong about not wearing pants. In fact I'm not wearing pants.

MPREZIV 2008-04-24 04:22 PM

[shudder]

MattR 2008-04-24 05:00 PM

That thing shook the shit out of the warehouse. I was standing between two 12 foot tall shelves...eek.

knucklesplitter 2008-04-24 05:11 PM

That one made tires squeak at traffic lights... or so my gf tells me.

Yeah, but 9000 treadwear tires from 1977 squeak while standing still all the time. (YOUR GF'S CAR IS OLD! :P)

Afterwards, she waits a second or so, takes off, and does hot laps around the house. When the 3.0+ ones hit it was worse though! ..

Poor kitty(ies). :eek:

The 4.2 shook open cabinet doors and drawers, and skewed one picture on the wall, up here. Rachel ran outside and saw the house moving. :eek:

MikeK 2008-04-24 05:48 PM

Does anyone have any damage?

You know nothing... IT'S A 1979!!!!11!1!

tysonK 2008-04-24 09:24 PM

I was in my office during the 3:55pm one, it made my wall creak barely, and I felt it in my stomach.

wrxkidid 2008-04-24 11:04 PM

I felt it.

I dunno what weird connection I have with earthquakes, but I think they are cool. I now they are super dangerous and deadly but I think the little ones are fun.

Maybe it has something to do with being born during the 1989 quake in San Francisco?

I was born up here in Reno, but still was during it...

Video by the USGS http://youtube.com/watch?v=6GfHkRNnZDE 7.1 at the epicenter.

WRX06TR 2008-04-25 01:13 AM

Whoa. I fell asleep in my recliner downstairs and a good little shake woke me up, rattled the glasses on the coffee table and rattled the entertainment center cabinets. Was probably around 1:50 nothing serious but it was the first time I have ever felt one around here, or ever for that matter.

Kavid 2008-04-25 06:29 AM

Woke up to a 3.1 at 1:42AM This Morning. This isn't funny, I am actually becoming very worried! Not to mention the 4 last afternoon and evening. A 4.1 at 3:47pm, a 3.0 directly after, a 4.2 8 min. later, and topped off by a 3.3 at 6pm. :?:

MPREZIV 2008-04-25 06:35 AM

I have yet to feel even a single one of these...

Cross your fingers. I'd hate to have you under a car on a lift when you feel your first one of them.... :eek:

JonnydaJibba 2008-04-25 08:04 AM

We are being invaded! Reno, NV, epicenter for the destruction of the world!!!!

Same here. In fact, despite growing up in california I have only felt 2 in my entire life- Loma Prieta in 1989, and one a few years ago at Stead during an autocorss, it was like a 3.0 or something.
