I was driving some co-workers back from the SF Airport, and when I got back to the office there were a number of people standing outside the building. Apparently there was a pretty big earthquake somewhere in southern California...but I didn't feel it in my car.
Anyone else feel it? Anyone have to evacuate work/school/whatever because of it?
Don't live near the Cali epicenter but up here in the Pacific Northwest we've been getting grumblings from Mt. St. Helens (see: 1980). The West Coast's got to fall into the Pacific sometime. Why not today? ;)
Didn't that Russian expert predict a SoCal quake this year?Quote:
Earthquake Shakes Central California
PARKFIELD, Calif. (AP) 9.28.04, 10:45a -- A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.9 has struck Central California and it was felt from Santa Ana to Sacramento, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake, which struck at 10:15 a.m. PDT, was centered 9 miles south of Parkfield and 17 miles north east of Paso Robles, scene of an earthquake that killed two people in December 2003.
An aftershock of 5.0 magnitude struck four minutes later.
Paso Robles police said there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Thousands of people from throughout the state reported feeling the quake.
"It rattled everything hanging on the walls and the chandelier was swinging. It didn't do any damage to our house. There were two shakers, one right after the other," said Ben Brown, who lives in Paso Robles.
Parkfield, located on the San Andreas fault, is known as the earthquake capital of California.
Nostradamus?
Putin?
Actually it was Madonna, on a trip through Russia to visit Russian Jews and give speeches about the Kabbalah, who channeled Nostradamus's spirit and predicted the socal earthquake.
Mysterious stuff, that Kabbalah, no?
Ha ha, no, it was the Keilis-Borok team.
Here.
I also predict an earthquake sometime next year in some part of the world. Further, I predict it will happen along a known fault line.
Predicting an earthquake in CA is no big deal, they happen all the time.
Little ones. Not ones of a 5.9 magnitude.
