Must have been a shallow one

Imagine an 8+ sized.

No thanks ... been in a couple nearing 7.0 that's enough for me =o(

Which ones and where? The biggest and closest was near L.A. of 6.1 IIRC. As a callow, I just left my ant nest with my queen ant and was walking to my school bus pickup spot. I didn't feel it at first until my queen told me to stop and things were shaking. I saw windows were shaking/vibrating and stuff. Scary! My first (earth)quake ever in my life!

A 6.5 and a 6.8 ... both in Seattle. My first experience occurred as I was walking through a park on my way to grade school one spring morning. It struck me as odd that there were no birds to be seen [or heard]. A few minutes later I was standing on the playfield, waiting for school to begin, when I noticed a series of rolling waves in the asphalt heading toward me. Then came a deafening rumble as I watched chimney's collapse off several houses across the street. Two story high windows behind me were bowing in and out as the cleaners fell off the scaffolding. I was barely able to keep my footing. Our school was the only one in the neighborhood that remained open that day. It had been rebuilt after it had been destroyed in a 7.1 shaker back in 1949 [before my time]. Scary stuff indeed!


Wow, I remember seeing/hearing the big quake in Seattle a few years ago. Are/Were you still up there and felt that one?


More than a few years ... I think you are referring to the 6.8 on feb 28, 2001. I was asleep ... it jolted awake. Two of my neighbors lost their chimney's in that one. No damage to my house, just some pictures tilted and the contents of one display shelf were thrown across the room. I shoulda clued in that something was up when my cat wouldn't come in to sleep with me [which was highly unusual]. He ended up running to the basement and would not come out from behind the furnace for three days =o(

Old nuclear power plants produce deadly, cancer causing, bone deforming, face-melting radioactive sludge that will constantly be a threat to every human in a 50 mile radius for 10,000 lifetimes, so obviously nuclear power has one extremely large and worrisome drawback in its current iteration.

>> ^Kreegath:

Old nuclear power plants aren't impervious to tsunamis and powerful earth quakes simultaneously, so obviously nuclear power is bad.

Oh, its a Russia Propaganda Times story. Other wise known as RT. The P in invisible.
Its always along the line of.

CNN = A 7.3 earth quake hit eastern Russia today.
Faux News = A 7.3 earth quake hit eastern Russia today.
RT = A man in Boise Idaho said the U.S. sucked and the government would collapse.
Reuters = A 7.3 earth quake hit eastern Russia today.

And why the hell are they occupying Wall Street. Occupy something that would have more of an effect. Like Walmart's HQ.

Can someone speak to the validity of this video? I am amazed by it, but don't understand it.
I never heard the ground would keep moving after a quake completed (but living in the Netherlands means I know nothing of earth-quakes)? I also wouldn't think that with the amazing forces at work below the surface, on the surface it would manifest at points where one kind of man made street would meet another kind of man made street (why is the movement among the seams of the pavement, instead of just a new crack at a random point in the street)?


Because the seams are the weakest parts. I haven't seen it firsthand, but there are other videos out there of the same phenomena. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the video was taken on the Tokyo Bay Landfill.

yeah I still have a CRT tv well I stole it of sum-one that moved out my house , but for a computer monitor its pretty mental , one of the guys I lived with was using one so I have him one of my TFTs lol.
for computer use a TFT is infinatly better , in many cases you would be better of scraping the crt and getting a cheep tft , purely to save on electricity , and save your eyes from strain.

I haven't seen ANY flatscreens, including TFT, that show rich and accurate colors. Even with graphic designers' monitors. CRT FTW.

Well the woman should not be so pathetic , with anny luck there will be a shift in reality and comments on internet videos will suddenly enact themselfs on people.

I would kill to be in this situatoin having a tornado form infront of you.

surely if you lived in anny place where these things happen you would research it to the piont you know what to do when it happens , i mean i live in shitty england where nothing happens but i know what to do / how safe dangerouse tornadoes are when u are neer them.

god forbid this woman was in a earth quake " IM GOING TO STAY INSIDE WHERE ITS SAFE "

what a stupid bitch ,
Id love for her to sit in the car and get cut up by all the glass and then raped by a tramp with aids.

Westy, there's a difference between between being funny and being a psychopath. You need to seek professional help. The audio of this frightened woman may be annoying to you, but blurting out that you wish she was raped or cut up is truly sick. If, while watching this, the joke that forms in your mind is "I wish she was raped" .. it's time to find a psychiatrist.
