I just heard that on CNN a few minutes ago, dude.

Scary!

Wasn't there a huge earthquake over there in the 1800's or something?

I heard it made the Mississippi flow backwards for a day.

We don't get too many of those around here.

It's scary when it happens.

Having grown up in California, I've slept through earthquakes bigger than 5.4

Well if one happens here we worry, because it could be a precursor to something HUGE.

Nothing like those little highway shattering rumbles you guys used to get.

Yeah, I was at the ballpark when the 1989 quake happened. It was freakin' crazy. That's the only time in my life I can remember truly being scared during an earthquake. I actually had one other time that an earthquake knocked me off the top bunk in my room...my parents came running in to check on my brother and I and we were laying on the floor laughing our little a$$e$ off. Fortunately I landed on the bean bag chairs in our room and rolled to the floor from there.

Sounds like California housing codes should include a requirement for bean bag floors!

:lol:

I'll bet that was scary at the ball park.

Dang.

I heard about this on the radio yesterday morning; a pretty big deal for this part of the country.

Seriously dude.

We are gonna feel it when the Madrid fault goes.

Let's just split the country in two. Politically we already are.

People around here said they felt it, but I didn't notice a thing. I was at work, and I didn't even hear about it ubtil a couple hours later, so I assume that noone else in the building felt it either.

Having spent a couple of years in California myself, I sat through a few shakers. But it never bothered me in the least. (Never anything like the '89 San Fran quake though.)

I never even realized that it was an earthquake until it was over, or almost over. It just felt like living next to some train tracks to me.

I am probably about the closest to the quake, we are about 2 hours from from there. Although it is only 1 and a half to STL but my inlaws are only like half hour from there. Anywho, they said that it was a 4.3 on the richter scale here, first one woke me up in shaking a solid brick house, and causing my bed to shake in the basement sitting right on the concrete floor, then there was an aftershock at 10:30 felt that one at work.

Big news here lol, this was a northern offshoot of the New Madrid but not really the New Madrid did have a different name for the fault.

Anywho have a good one.
