4.6 EQ in california!

reply to post by AllUrChips


K. Well, I guess you should freak out about all the 46 LAT quakes today too. Then again, I guess you should just go here:

earthquake.usgs.gov...

And study to your hearts desire all the quakes that happen all the time on the same general latitudes (even without rounding up to the next degree because it doesn't matter to mother nature!). Create countless threads about other 4.6 Eq's mother nature dished out, because normal activity has somehow reached a stage of "omg"!

There were also 3 un-related quakes TODAY that were at 46 degrees lat! OMG does that mean something?!?

No, I'll leave that to you! You're doing a fine job panicking about insignificant quakes.

Well to be fair, I can understand people who don't live here see a 4.0 and just don't know...

I can see getting excited, but just a little look at the USGS site, which I have bookmarked for ages now, and it will enlighten those who don't live here to the reality of the frequency that tremors happen here all the time...

I remember being totally freaked by the weather back in Oklahoma and everybody was "meh, happens all the time" Just goes with how we live and where we live I suppose.
