Quoted: Hopefully we don't see a repeat of this. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/162439/tsunami-area-earthquake-Natori-Miyagi-pr-2315421.JPG View Quote That was horrible. IIRC that one was a 9-something? 7s are no joke, but they’re a long way from 9. |

Biden is president, universal designated hitter, and now the three eyed fish are probably gonna grow another mouth.
The world is truly going to shit. |

Back in 2011 there was a 7.3 quake 2 days before The Big One.

Chit, this is bad. Not just because of Fukishima (?), but all the impending flood waves that are going to destroy chit and kill lots of people.

Anything over 7 is a pretty good shake, hopefully everything turns out ok

That was huge and I'm far away in Tokyo, lost a few plates and glasses. The wife needs to fix her wall of books that I always tell her needs to be supported
My dogs and birds gave me 15 seconds warning, so I could save some things in the kitchen. Sometimes it sucks living on the 8th floor. Started with side to side, then stopped, then up and down then the swaying like on the ocean. Aftershocks expected, on the news they are saying this is a relief quake from 2011. |

I'd like to experience a quake, a small one. I'm just curious what it's like to see everything shake. I've been offshore in a boat 87 billion times but that's nothing in comparison

It's not a problem in Tokyo just a big shake, on the news there are no reports of damage so far just a 1m tsunami for parts of the coast. But I do appreciate the offer. |

Everything felt like it was rolling. Then I noticed the window shades were moving, looked in the backyard and the water in the pool was sloshing around pretty good. Hope everyone over there is Ok! |

Hory shit!
Looking at the activity log there were a number of 3ish shakers yesterday. |

View Quote We experienced one in Northern Virginia probably a decade or so ago. I was on the 8th floor of the Microsoft building and like you, I thought it was me at first. Then my "oh shit, we've got 8 flights of stairs to descend" instinct kicked in and I start hustling to the stairwell with my team. Definitely not something I would want to do more than once especially in a tall concrete building. |

I've seen videos and it's hard to comprehend the actual earth moving without feeling it When the ground moves, no matter how slight, it is an odd feeling. I've never experienced a strong destructive quake but the few small ones I've felt were significant enough to cause me some concern. One in particular was while camping in Mt. Ranier N.P., maybe sleeping on the ground added to the affect enough for me to say I don't care to experience that again. |

You guys want a fun experience be waling down the hall of a 22 floor apartment in Caracas Venezuela and then get pushed into one wall and then the opposite one.
I was 13 at the time and all i could think about it probably how shitty the building was built and that it was going to come down on us for the entire 10min trip down the stairs. |

I believe so, now that you mention it. In fact, IIRC that was one of the first confirmed fatals. 90 seconds to sheer terror. There’s not a damn thing you can do until the ground stops swimming beneath your feet. The natural gas fires started almost immediately and burned for days. At night, the entire LA Basin was lit by firelight. Aftershocks went on for months, and some big ones too. I was close to the initial epicenter. I really, truly thought that was it for me. 1994, holy shit. Where has the time gone. |
