Thursday, June 16, 2005Yet another earthquakeIt's been a crazy week. UPDATE: 5.3 with an epicenter in Yucaipa. UPDATE: Here's the USGS info. UPDATE: The folks on the news are describing it as a wave lasting 2-3 seconds. Not so here in Lake Forest - it lasted a good 10-15 seconds. UPDATE: Here's the shake map - be a pal and report your experience. UPDATE: Mitch in the comments describes the feeling in Temecula: "Slight rolling for about 5 seconds, then a pretty sharp jolt, then rolling for 4-5 more seconds." Same here. The jolt was good one - the windows here made a pretty good rattle. Comments:I'm also in Lake Forest and I certainly felt it. No damage, nothing fell, but it was enough to make me get up from my chair and move to the doorway. Others in my office did the same. Then when it stopped, we all shrugged and went back to work. :) Felt it here in San Diego. A rolling motion lasting 10 - 15 seconds near downtown. I wasn't even sure it was an earthquake until someone asked, "Did you feel that earthquake?" a minute afterwards... Temecula reporting a very similar experience to Lake Forest. Slight rolling for about 5 seconds, then a pretty sharp jolt, then rolling for 4-5 more seconds. Not enough to get up from the chair, but enough to say "I hope Jose Guillen got a 2x4 dropped on his head" (sorry, I just couldn't resist) Here in Palm Springs which is 25 miles SE from the epic center it was a fierce strong jolt that last 10 seconds Man, something seems up in California right now. Things have been pretty biblical lately. There were the fires a year and a half ago, the torrential rain this past winter, landslides (some months after the rain stopped), and now a series of decent sized earthquakes. What did you guys do to piss Him off so much? |
