akk | Woo, small earthquake. | 00:10 |
---|---|---|
pleia2 | OMG!! | 00:11 |
pleia2 | I FELT IT!!! | 00:11 |
pleia2 | my first earthquake :D!!! | 00:11 |
akk | Congrats pleia2! | 00:12 |
akk | :) | 00:12 |
pleia2 | 11th floor, it was actually quite strong here | 00:12 |
akk | Now you're a Real Californian. | 00:12 |
pleia2 | :) | 00:12 |
rww | I didn't :( | 00:12 |
akk | It was small here (I was going to guess 3.8) but it lasted longer than I'd expect from something that small, so maybe it was bigger and closer to SF. | 00:12 |
akk | It'll be a few minutes before it shows up on USGS. | 00:12 |
pleia2 | how exciting | 00:13 |
pleia2 | I was like "what is that, earthquake? check #ubuntu-us-ca - yay akk!" | 00:13 |
pleia2 | :) | 00:13 |
pleia2 | now twitter is... atweet | 00:13 |
akk | :) | 00:14 |
MarkDude | Its not a *real* earthquake unless it is over a 4.5 | 00:14 |
akk | Oh, right, I should check twitter. | 00:14 |
MarkDude | or if you are in a building like pleia2 | 00:14 |
pleia2 | http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php | 00:14 |
* MarkDude feels that pleia2 has a blog post she will be writing | 00:15 | |
pleia2 | lol | 00:15 |
pleia2 | it was bouncy | 00:15 |
akk | Woo, 4.4 | 00:15 |
MarkDude | They can roll, they dont just shake | 00:15 |
akk | and closer to me than you -- another Alum Rock one | 00:15 |
MarkDude | might have been a real one then | 00:15 |
akk | That area has been getting lots of little ones lately. | 00:15 |
akk | They've already downgraded it to 4.1, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php | 00:20 |
akk | USGS tends to do that, the first reports are always higher than the final ones. | 00:20 |
akk | The mail they sent me says 4.4 in the subject line, but when I go to the page it says 4.1. | 00:20 |
pleia2 | yeah, it said 4.4 a few minutes ago on the page | 00:20 |
akk | And not really Alum Rock, it's southeast of there, but still along the Calaveras. | 00:20 |
akk | http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php | 00:20 |
akk | Wonder if that means the Hayward is getting ready for its Big One? (hope not) | 00:21 |
MarkDude | we are all floating on a thin crust over magma- what can ya do? | 00:23 |
akk | Wouldn't be so bad except part of the crust is moving <- this way and part is moving -> this way ... | 00:29 |
MarkDude | Well yes, and there is that slipping into the ocean thing | 00:31 |
* MarkDude knows that is not how plate tectonics, subduction, etc work | 00:33 | |
MarkDude | Like tornadoes would be any better to deal with :) | 00:34 |
akk | I'd like to see one of those, from a safe distance. | 00:36 |
* MarkDude too | 00:36 | |
MarkDude | not where I live tho | 00:36 |
akk | Also fireflies. | 00:36 |
akk | There was a tornado in Sunnyvale a while back! (maybe 7 years ago?) | 00:37 |
* MarkDude lived in a trailer in Concord and we had 74+mph winds | 00:37 | |
akk | I was in Mountain View but we couldn't see it from our office windows. | 00:37 |
* MarkDude saw parts of the trailer blow off | 00:37 | |
MarkDude | Cali team takes a step back in shock that I lived in a trailer | 00:38 |
MarkDude | Was there any damage to your building? | 00:38 |
akk | From the tornado, or the quake today? No in either case, though. | 00:41 |
MarkDude | Cool | 00:41 |
