rostasi Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Posted June 15, 2005 Wow, good site and very "official" info. NOAA seemed to be tied up and the site wouldn't come up, but it is now working fine. Thanks again! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 According to our daughter (Puget Sound area) the warnings are already called off there. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Duh...too bad I didn't read the whole post or I wouldn't have written that... Quote
BFrank Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 5.4 in the Bay Area tonight. No damage that I know of, but it was a wild 20 seconds! Quote
Big Wheel Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 I was on the lower Peninsula near the bay, in an elevator when the shaking started. My first earthquake! My guess is that the building was built for this kind of thing because it wasn't too scary, but the elevator definitely started wobbling while it was traveling downward. Quote
BFrank Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 THAT'S interesting. The map that I linked into my post, updates itself. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Great...a week from now we'll be wondering what you were smoking! Quote
BruceH Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 We felt it here in the city...but down in the San Jose area they really got a scary jolt. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 My guess is that the building was built for this kind of thing because it wasn't too scary, but the elevator definitely started wobbling while it was traveling downward. No sir, I don't think I'd like that. Not one bit. Quote
7/4 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 My guess is that the building was built for this kind of thing because it wasn't too scary, but the elevator definitely started wobbling while it was traveling downward. No sir, I don't think I'd like that. Not one bit. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Even if I come up "Stimpy," I feel much more like Mr. Horse. Quote
Big Wheel Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 My guess is that the building was built for this kind of thing because it wasn't too scary, but the elevator definitely started wobbling while it was traveling downward. No sir, I don't think I'd like that. Not one bit. To give some context, the floors of this building seem to shake a little bit even in non-seismic conditions (someone stomping on the floor, overhead pipes shaking for some reason hard enough to make the top floor shake). This didn't feel much stronger than that to me, but my buddy and I just looked at each other as the elevator went from the fourth floor to the first and said "Uh, why is the elevator swaying?" Quote
BFrank Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Great...a week from now we'll be wondering what you were smoking! I'll be wondering what I was smoking! Quote
BFrank Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Long as you're OK, Brooks. A-OK, Tim-bo.......thanks. Quote
Free For All Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Maybe the earthquake was responsible for your dented Miles box, BF. Quote
BFrank Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Maybe the earthquake was responsible for your dented Miles box, BF. Nice thought, Free...........but I received the box last week. Quote
