Quake - 6.0 NoCal Nobiggie

Moonliner · 02-04-2010, 02:03 PM

There was a 6.0 off the coast of Northern Cali today at 3:20pm est

The USGS notified me via email at: 3:49pm

CNN Tweeted me about it at: 3:52pm

Quakeinfo tweeted at: 3:35pm

The first to feel and tweet was Caksf at: 3:25pm

God I love the Information Age.

Caksf felt the quake 55 minutes before it happened? Twitter is pretty cool.

Moonliner · 02-04-2010, 02:05 PM

No. Five min after. Or at least that's when the tweet was.

Ghoulish Delight · 02-04-2010, 02:13 PM

3:25 isn't 55 minutes before 3:20. It's 5 minutes after.

6.0 isn't small.

Compared to some it is.

A 6.0 is not small, by any definition. Sorry, East Coaster.

Oh, so you thought she was still talking about earthquakes.

Did anybody say small? He said Nobiggie. And 6.0s are frequently "Nobiggie" in the sense that they don't matter much.

And I swear when I posted the OP said the first tweet was at 2:25. But it may be tied into my calendrical retardation.

Gee, did not feel a thing but friends up in Humboldt sure did!
