7.1 Earthquake! California

It seemed like it lasted a good minute. Hold me david!!!

This one was scarier.

Hope everyone is safe--strongest quake in California in 20 yrs.

Is it really hot there? They say this doesn't affect them but they do always seem to happen when there is a lot of heat.

The churches in southern California should be full this weekend.

Where was the epicenter?

Felt it down here in Long Beach. Lots of rolling, and rocking. Not a lot of shaking.

Seemed like it lasted at least 45-60 seconds.

It's been nice in L.A., r4.....

What is the difference between rolling and shaking?

R6 Here's everything you need to know about the quake.

My mussy

R9 The rollers last for longer and feel like the earth is rolling under your feet. The rollers are what bring down buildings. The shakers are a few seconds and feel just like someone's quickly shaking you from side to side.

It is clearly Joe Biden's fault.

The '94 quake was a jack hammer type, fucking terrifying.

The only time I've ever been afraid during an earthquake.

I would also like to know the difference between rocking and shaking. ...and I live here. Rollers, I do get, at least for me. The "rolling" feeling is kind of like "elevator stomach"

R9 Rolling feels like you're on a boat going over a swell. Shaking feels more like airplane turbulence.

Well, California wants to break away from the US anyway. This is a good time to start.

Dr. Lucy Jones looks very nervous. I have seen her on TV over the years and she always looks cool as a clam even during the Northride earthquake. Something tells me she suspects an even bigger one coming.

Careful what you wish for, say goodby to your internet, cell phone, Ipad, and all the technology we invented for you fly over bitches. Not to mention all the food we grow that feeds the rest of the US.

Maybe she’s tired from the earthquake yesterday R18.

r18 I mentioned same in other thread; gut says something big's up . . .

What can we do for our CA fellows besides free sex? I'm worried now.

I felt it all the way in Phoenix, Arizona. The local TV stations are still talking about it.

[quote] My place rocked bitches.

Just like every Friday when you allow some desperate man to enter your home to fuck you the trailer home trembles. Your neighbors in the trailer park think it’s a normal Friday for you.

This one was long. The floor was rolling.

Things were swaying and the parked cars were moving/bouncing in Las Vegas for about 20 seconds.

Here's Dr. Lucy Jones talking about the quake.

Here is another clip of Dr. Lucy this evening.

Swear to god, I started having earthquake premonitions last week. I’ve lived in LA for 12 years and never felt that before. I told some coworkers, and yesterday I got texts from, and today was approach by, some of them because I called it. Really fucking weird!

[quote] Something tells me she suspects an even bigger one coming.

You cannot predict an earthquake. I suspect Dr. Lucy Jones is just horny.

The 7.1 tonight was like standing on the deck of a cruise ship, when you haft to adjust your balance to keep your equilibrium. But it undulated quite a bit. Left me little seasick in Palm Springs

[quote]when you haft

my haft is bigger than your haft

Me too, R29. Just in the last month I stocked up on enough food, water and supplies to last several weeks without water and electricity. Have asolor radio and battery backups for all the devices. Also a super-quick water boiler for cooking and disinfecting. Just replenished my water supply today. My spider senses are in overdrive.

The older woman who was there mentoring Dr. Lucy Jones was a big old lesbian. I dont know about Lucy Jones but here male co-worker seems like he could be one of us.

I didn’t feel a thing in SF, but a friend in Sacramento said he did.

Did anyone catch what Dr Lucy said this time? She upped the chances to an even larger quake to 10%. Yesterday she said 5%.

And she said defiantly more that 50% chance to expect 5.0 or higher in then next 24 hours.

Keep your shoes next to your bed at night in case you have to hop up and scamper through broken glass in your caftan.

You won't get far if your feet are in shreds.

Does Lucy Jones' pussy stink?

Downtown Bakersfield must be a mess.

R19, who is “we” exactly? What did you personally have to do with all of those things?

Dipshit.

R37 they recommend keeping your shoes UNDER the bed so glass doesn’t fall into them before you stick your feet in.

California shouldn't be growing all the food. The rest of the nation is better suited for it.

People shouldn't be living where there are major earthquakes.

R38, like 'earthquake weather.'

Mama Cass sings (pre-ham sandwich):

[quote] Downtown Bakersfield must be a mess.

And that is a change how?

Why has this Dr. Lucy suddenly become the oracle of California earthquakes?

[quote]People shouldn't be living where there are major earthquakes.

So Tornado alley better?? Hurricane Florida? Nor East Blizzards?

Suddenly?? Dr. Lucy has been the oracle of California quakes for 30 years! (along with retired Dr. Kate Hutton).

I love Dr. Lucy. She doesn't have time for your fear mongering.

Dr. Lucy Jones is a Los Angeles/Southern California treasure! She's one those people whom I consider part of the "soundtrack of my life" as an Angeleno. Vin Scully, Chick Hearn, Dr. George Fischbeck, Huell Howser, Jerry Dunphy, Richard Blade, Dr. Lucy.

hopefully only repub homes are damaged

best wishes to all the Democrats and liberals

^^^(p.s. how could I forget Steve Edwards?)

[quote]What is the difference between rolling and shaking?

Rolling is extremely euphoric. Shaking, not so much.

The "rollers" feel like you're on a boat in the ocean, swaying side to side. Sometimes it's very gentle...sometimes it's more intense, like tonight...but still kind of giddy-fun? The "jolters" (like the Northridge quake) feel like a giant has picked up your house/building and slammed it to the ground....and then started shaking it violently, back & forth .

Maybe the New Madrid fault will get triggered and somehow swallow up Mitch McConnell.

If I lived in an earthquake prone area I would have something like this over my bed, with a steel cover on top.

[quote] Vin Scully, Chick Hearn, Dr. George Fischbeck, Huell Howser, Jerry Dunphy, Richard Blade, Dr. Lucy.

Am I chopped liver?

Are you saying Dr. Lucy is part of the soundtrack of your life, R51? The soundtrack? Of your Life? Did you say, "Lucy" or "Loo See"? Who Is this Doctor Loo See? I know Lucille Ball was known as Lucy. Do you mean Lucy Ricardo? Oh, Look over here. A cracked pool. Now how do you think That happened, R51? Cameron, get a shot of all that water...

I lived through the Big Bear quake in 1992.

Being from the east coast, I had no idea what was happening. It threw me out of my bed.

It was early morning and the electric transformers were exploding on top of their poles. It was really something.

That was only a 6.1. I can only imagine what this one was like.

Also, it was the day of the gay pride parade in West Hollywood. I should have seen it as a sign.

Dr. Lucy was juicy, but terribly drab

[quote]If I lived in an earthquake prone area I would have something like this over my bed, with a steel cover on top.

And what happens if you're not in bed when the big one hits?

With a well-chosen chapeau, one need not fret over falling objects.

[quote]California shouldn't be growing all the food. The rest of the nation is better suited for it.

There is a reason why most agriculture is confined to the Southwest. California's outrageous laws have saved your food supply. You should be more grateful

[quote] Vin Scully, Chick Hearn, Dr. George Fischbeck, Huell Howser, Jerry Dunphy, Richard Blade, Dr. Lucy.

Huuell Hoooowser? Well by golly I remember him! Huuell!!!! Suuch a pleasure to watch him! Is that thee admiral over there? Guuuuuuys, come look it’s the admiral. Make sure you get a shot of thiiiiiiiis! He remembers Huuell Hooooowser!

California has turned into a cesspool.

Next week we’ll visit a cesspool. A real cesspool! Doesn’t that sound great fellows? I’m sure we’ll meet some kind, if ripe, gents at the cesspool shop. We’ll try to ignore everything but their kindness!

Is that the best you've got, R67?

I loved Dr. Lucy Jones. She was smart, articulate and snarky.

Honestly, how did Huell Howser ever get on the air?

Blame Entertainment Tonight.

Behind every great man.....

[quote] Careful what you wish for, say goodby to your internet, cell phone, Ipad, and all the technology we invented for you fly over bitches.

Typical. And wrong, certainly about the internet.

The creation of what would become known as the internet was invented by a collection of different entities with the largest amount of credit belonging to Bell Labs.

And Bell Labs was NOT based in California. Currently based in Murray Hill, New Jersey, but with other branches in other parts of the US.

I don't think Bell Labs even had any branches in California when the internet came to exist.

I adored Huell. Howser. I always wanted to cuddle with him. Is that a photo of his bf or is that the mysterious Cameron who he always talked to but who we never saw (being the cameraman)? And to bring this back to earthquakes, Huell once did a great piece--for him--on the Egyptian Theater which was heavily damaged in the Northridge quake. I believe it lost a good portion of one wall. Huell, though, got distracted by a light on the wall or something.

[quote]Well, California wants to break away from the US anyway. This is a good time to start.

Those of you taking this opportunity to talk shit about CA and its residents need to be careful what you wish for. Life in the US would be much, much worse without the fifth largest economy in the world providing the tax dollars that prop up the worthless, low-tax red states and their opioid-addicted, sister-fucking Cheeto-eaters forever on 'disability'. You need us, quite desperately.

This country is nothing without California.

[quote] The creation of what would become known as the internet was invented by a collection of different entities with the largest amount of credit belonging to Bell Labs. And Bell Labs was NOT based in California.

That would be false. Bell Labs along with many others came a long after the idea of the internet was starting to be put into place. All they did was push the ball a little further.

Magnitude 4.3 earthquake widely felt around San Francisco Bay Area

r78

4.3....LOL

That is less than what happens when Oprah jogs in San Francisco without her bra.

R51 Lucy Jones is a rabid, narcissistic liar and not much of a scientist.

Her colleagues despise(d) her.

She left where she'd been for a long time because everyone was fed up with her.

There's a saying among seismologists that the most dangerous place to be after an earthquake is between Lucy Jones and a TV camera.

Hu? R80, Who is they? She's had that job at Cal Tech for decades. You are pulling all that shade out of your ass.

R80 is an earthquake.

Another earthquake hit Ridgecrest. A 4.5 by the looks of it. I felt the minor rumble as well. Looks like it was the same place one occurred last month! Anyone else feel that?

4.5 is more like a Chrissy Metz fart.

It's nothing.

WTF happens if Metz or Winfrey orgasm?

It would make the Boston molasses disaster seem like two teens twistin' taffy.

The West Coast will fall into the Pacific Ocean!
