We had a local 3.0 shaker (about 15 miles SW of me) today at 11:38am; how'd I miss feeling that one?
What direction was that again? "SW" ...Awesome!Quote:

What if I'm playing MLB on the Wii again like during the Easter Quake?
I was able to pause my game and return to try and beat the Dodgers later, but I was too shaken to really concentrate and I had to quit that game in the 7th and not save it as I don't allow losses to L.A. to go on my record.
Buy a battery backup for your Nintendo Wii. You won't likely get one that can also power your big-screen TV, but at least it won't interrupt the console's saving.
They're saying that initial quake down there moved the earth 31 inches, and alleviated stress on the San Andreas fault.

The same people who said that aren't also real estate agents though, are they?
Lex Luthor has some beach front property in the Imperial Valley for sale.
IIRC, while it released stress on the big fault, there was a smaller fault down there that was ired up by it, so it's a mixed bag.
Lex Luthor would have a pretty hard time selling that property, even if somehow magically the west side of the fault disappeared entirely, the majority of the state is on the land-mass side of the fault. Besides, California has plenty of beach-front property which isn't excessively valuable or even habitable, so why he thought everybody would want to move to the Nevada border to suffer in deserts that had no infrastructure or even water systems (growing an ocean wouldn't provide potable water) is beyond fathomable. "Evil genius"? More like "very lucky moron".
It's just the Earth settling from all of the tunnels dug beneath it.Quote:

Actually, it was barely felt here in Michigan.
A handful of people felt it and the local news blew it WAY out of proportion, as if the the epicenter were right beneath us.
