Shake, shake, shake them bones.

Or cities.

Earthquake!

Rock and roll, L.A.

When it started, I really expected it to be bigger. If felt like the beginning of something big but as soon as it began it was over.

Shake that booty, L.A.

Short, but strong. 5.3. Seems to be a separate quake, not an aftershock. Although it seems to have tirggered a 2.4 aftershock at the site of last week's. There was a 3.5 immediately after the big one (I think I felt it...either that or my legs were still shaking), and then a couple 2.2's

Oops. It's been upgraded to a 5.3. That sound about right.

Ghoulish Delight · 06-16-2005, 02:06 PM

The 3.5 was an immediate aftershock. The main quake was 5.3

Oh, the nausea of a building on ball-bearings. We're still gently reeling. Workday earthquakes are the most motion-sickness I ever feel.

Anybody we know near Yucaipa?

Not Afraid · 06-16-2005, 02:10 PM

The initial report on the main quake was 3.5 which was then upgraded to a 5.3.

Often far more damage can occur in a smaller earthquake of prolonged length than a larger earthquake of shorter duration, so I'm glad this was short, considering that it was also moderately large.

I won first prize in my 6th grade science fair doing an earthquake study. I was such a little scientist, but that was it for my career. No becoming a robotics engineer for this girl.
