Event Coverage 6.4 Quake in SoCal Today

So, we just had a nice 6.4 roller come through SoCal. It was centered in the Mojave Desert. Lasted about 30 seconds.

Hope that no one was hurt and that no one has damage and that our Rods are good to go.

If anyone has sustained damage, please don't hesitate to let myself or another HAMBER know if you need help.

 

We had a 3.1 here in Randolph County Ar. 3 Am this morning. Centered 20 miles from my corner. We are about 100 miles as a crow flies from the New Madrid Fault. I never felt it. I was asleep.

 

6.4 today was not too far from Gene Winfield's shop in Mojave

 

I'm about 12 miles from Mexico and it was rolling here...

 

Hmmm. I'm about 70 or 80 miles North of New Madrid and if it rumbled here I sure didn't feel it....slept right through. I did have an awesome dream though that I found a really nice '58 Vette for sale in Oregon for $6500 and drove it home. I was disappointed when I woke up to the reality that I still don't own a '58 Vette!

If Rosie would have fallen off a bar stool that quake should have caused all of California to fall in the ocean

 

Tasteful as ever. I get tired of people slagging people because of their size. I wonder why that is OK here and comments on politicians, ethnicity, etc. are forbidden

 

Just saw some footage on WGN (KTLA's sister station in Chicago) showing two vintage cars burned up in a garage fire caused by a gas line ruptured by the quake. One appeared to be a 1941 Buick torpedo sedan; the other was a '46-'48 Chrysler Town and Country convertible (that one had black plates).

 

If a quake or anything took out a substation. It might be a long time before power was restored to that area. Because they don't have extra transformers. Those are made overseas.

 

I certainly do not disagree with your comments. Only want add that this is nothing new. This ‘ol planet has been evolving for a very, very long time and changes in topography and climate have been the norm, some quite dramatic.

 

Yes this is so very true, and people need to start and understand that. This planet has been evolving all its life, and will continue to do so

 

Yes the only constant is change. and there is no authority that can state let alone dictate just what a normal or optimal climate is or should be. However when you in the beginning stage of a End of An Age pole shift the clatyclismic events only increase in magnitude and frequency. Im not saying the poles will reverse anything soon. However the north magnetic pole has been increasing the speed of its shifting position. It went from a few feet per decade to several miles per year. Its not mans fault. Man did not cause it and man cannot mitigate it.

 

Hope all are safe.

 

I felt it in Manhattan Beach. I'm a veteran of all So-Cal quakes since 1971. Never, ever get accustomed to them. Sudden, instant, no warning. Beyond bad if you're at ground zero. At least this one was in the daylight hours.

 

think a 7.1 just hit.

 

I remember feeling a bit one as a kid in Marmaduke. Around the mid seventies. Having several rollers around here (so-cal desert) lately.

 

Just had a 7.1 down graded to a 6.9 tonight.

 

Watching the tv reports right now. The Cal Tech people say that there have been 1400 pre and after shocks since yesterday. Anywhere from hardly noticeable to the 7.1 biggest today. They also said that aftershocks lasted 3 years after the last big quake here in California.
