Bad earthquake in SoCal.

[Codeine]

Holy crap that’s a scary one.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. It's most likely an aftershock from the Ridgecrest one.

[Codeine]

2. Hell of an aftershock!

Maybe I’m just still on edge from the last one.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I think aftershocks can be stronger than the original quake, but I'm not sure.

And for sure you're still on edge.

[Codeine]

4. 7.1 near Ridgecrest again.

I’m getting too old for this shit.

[912gdm]

9. yeah the stat was mentioned during yesterdays few hour coverage

from a phone in with a geologist... it was something like 20 % chance it would trigger something larger within 72 hours

[diva77]

18. reporting that Dr. Lucy Jones sez yesterday's 6.4 was foreshock and part of same series as today's

quake.

[Blue_true]

20. I always thought that aftershocks were always weaker.

You guys could be headed for a really big one soon. If that is a new quake, something may be happening.

[still_one]

7. Epicenter is Ridgecrest, and most likely what you said, though large after shocks can also be very

bad

Just take care Peggy

I am in Northern California, though someone said they felt it in Tracy here on DU

Felt nothing here in San Jose

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. San Jose is too far north to feel this one.

We're OK, thanks. We built our house and our architect was very aware of earthquakes and their hazards. He provided that the house have lots of bracing and sturdy materials to keep the place together in case of a large quake. So far, we've never had any damage.

14. ++++++++++++

[lapfog_1]

21. I definite felt it here in Tracy

gently swaying back and forth... stuff in my bedroom was swinging a little for nearly a minute

[still_one]

26. That's a pretty big effect from Southern Ca

[rollin74]

15. it's not an aftershock if it's bigger than the original

[chowder66]

19. It was a foreshock per the earthquake lady. Just heard on Channel 4 news. nt

[ornotna]

5. 7.1 according to the google

23. Now I'm hearing it has been upgraded again.

Even the scientists are nervous today I guess.

[ornotna]

25. Yeah, back to a 7.1

7.1 is pretty strong. Lot of after shocks too.

12. Bigger then yesterday's

I was taking a nap this everning, that got me up, haha!

[912gdm]

13. be interesting to see if there is anyone on standby at CNN and MSNBC

to cut from their prerecorded bits...

[rollin74]

17. yep, CNN is busy with 90's gangsta rap

[JI7]

16. first time an earthquake while i was in my car. and i was stopped

but i was on flat ground and close to home.

my fear is driving on a fwy during an earthquake and what happened during northridge with some collapsing.

[Codeine]

22. I've never been in a car during one.

I assumed you wouldn’t even notice it in a car unless it was really off the charts. What did it feel like?

[JI7]

27. my car was stopped and waiting to make a turn. it actually felt like

how a car with problems might feel . a bit jerking and then swaying . actually the earthquake probably happened while i was still driving and it was only when i stopped that i felt it. so i couldn't feel it while driving . at least i didn't notice anything while i was driving.

i felt it after i stopped and first thought it was my car but after a while i thought it was an earthquake .

most of the earthquakes i have felt have been when i was still sleeping . northridge happened while i was sleeping and that's probably the strongest earthquake i felt .

[Raine]

24. I had that happen once

It was weird and totally different from feeling it other times.

[ornotna]

28. There have been over 50 after shocks

Since the 7.1 happened. Crazy.
