lasted about 28-30 seconds.. pretty good jolt and a reminder of things to come!

Wow...I love Michigan

scarey stuff, apparently not bad enough to disrupt your power or ISP.

5.8 in California is like 6" of snow in Wisconsin. It reminds you of what mother nature can do, but everyone gets back to work when its over.

OK, it is more like 2 feet of snow, but everyone still gets back to work.

Glad you are ok.

people in Phoenix should start building docks and tying their boats to them

I can see the oceanfront property speculators lining up.

Help a seismoligist and fill out this form above if you felt it.

Downgraded to 5.4 but that number is nothing. What we look at is damage potential. The maps below will change as more data flows in.


This map is raw data from filling out the form above.

This map is "smoothed" from the data above.

Oh, BTW, your tax dollars at work...

Funny, I felt something too. Oh yeah, it was a reminder of what the SoCal group was saying about us northern climate group this past winter. I guess not everything is always rosey in la la land.

But seriously, hope everything is alright, and hope that wasn't a pre-shock.

deepv, can you believe the news coverage? You'd think it was a 9.0 on the San Andreas! Fox and all the locals are just going lala over this minor event! Ok, 5.4 not so minor


Always a chance! Before the twin quakes, Landers/Big Bear in 92, there was a 4.2 (I think) in May in Landers! CalTech stated it was a foreshock. Can't remember the month the twins hit tho. Seems like it was November/December 92..

Thank god for proper building standards.

Yeah, a bit overboard. No pun intended on this site.

Those were in June 1992.

We'll see D-Rod. The expected "Big One" will be 3 orders of magnitude times as strong (1000 times stronger) and the pressure to go lax is always there. Plus A LOT of engineers don't have a clue on how to properly design and more importantly DETAIL a structure to resist large ground motions. I know as I deal with them every single day.

DeepV

at what point do structures start to crumble?? Which, if any are expected to make it through the "BIG ONE".
