This is bullshit. Almost never happens here, now two days in a row.

it's part of the vast right wing conspiracy Hilary used to talk about.

I hope @AngelsLakersFan was able to feel this one.

been worrying about you, big guy.

They say that when the San Andreas goes, it will rupture just east of Palm Springs. If a 7.5 were to hit there - about 100 miles away from Orange County - what kind of impact would it have? Would it be worse than Northridge, or similar to the Landers quake in 1992?

It wouldn't just rupture at a single point, it would start there and propagate up the fault, probably stopping somewhere near the grapevine or further north.  The size of the earthquake is related to how long the rupture is, the expected 7.8 is that scenario.  LA, South Bay, North Orange County would actually come out pretty bad because of the loose soil.  This link has videos of simulations but the last one is considered the most likely, 50 times stronger than the Northridge quake, violent shaking for 2 minutes in LA area:

"There have been more than 4,700 earthquakes since Thursday’s 6.4-magnitude event, according to John Bellini, a geophysicist with the USGS. 

“They are coming in every 30 second, every minute," he said.

Since Friday night's 7.1-magnitude quake, there have been three quakes with magnitudes of 5 or greater. Those three all occurred within the first hour after the 7.1 quake; one was a 5.5 magnitude and there were two 5.4 quakes."

4,700? Is that normal?

I remember hearing once that the difference between a magnitude 6 and magnitude 7 is much, much larger than we would think.

The Richter scale is exponential. A magnitude 7 releases ten times as much energy as a mag 6. An 8 would be 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6.

That one woke me up. Like all my favorite experiences in bed I just laid there while the bed rocked back and forth.

It's one magnitude higher...

Right, but rather than it being 1/6th times more powerful, it's 60/6th times more powerful.

Just got back down from the mountains in the San Gabriel mountains.  First, asked my buddies who were camping there since Wednesday if they felt the Thursday quake.  They said no.  Where I camp is pretty much bedrock.  Come Friday, I was relaxing in my cot, and definitely felt a slight swaying.  Nothing like what I felt on Wednesday at home.  As far as damage in the mountains.  Heard maybe one rock falling.  But other than that, nothing.  Although we were kind of worried about the flatlanders.  Since we have no cell or any kind of contact with the outside world.  It could have been the big one in LA, with everything destroyed, and we wouldn't have known.

My first thought as well.

Just what we need to complete the trifecta.  The big one.  

Although only a 5.1 in Searless, CA/Death Valley.  Wait, isn't there some kind of religious thing about from the Valley of Death?

We had another one a couple of days ago, only lasted for a couple of seconds, not all that strong. Like the last one, the first hint was when the monitor started rocking side to side on the desk.
