DUers in San Fernando Valley area: 3.2 mag earthquake just hit.

[Maddy McCall]

I get news from KNBC on Directv...just announced that a 3.2 mag earthquake rattled the valley a few seconds ago.

Anyone on DU in the area?

1. 3.2 means the house creaked. n/t

[Maddy McCall]

2. Well, the newsie said that...

they'd received many calls asking about it, so I was wondering if DUers in the area felt it.

3. Hi, Maddy!

I'm several miles south of there, say 15 or 20...

Down near LAX...

Didn't feel anything...

That's the sort of quake that you most likely won't feel unless you're right over it...

Thanks for the heads-up!

Talk about getting the news fast!

:hug:

4. The newscaster just said that it was centered 2 miles north of Tarzana.

:hi:

5. I may have felt it down in Costa Mesa

The room was spinning for a second there. But I also haven't been feeling all that well.... ???

9. I'm in Mississippi...

I can take tornadoes and hurricanes, but the thought of earthquakes makes me queasy!

6. I felt it in NoHo - - just a single, small jerk then nothing

It took the cat by surprise so I knew it was less than 4.0... during Northridge the two cats I had then would stress out before any shock that was 4.0 or more, and just sort of look around in mild surprise when anything between 3.0 and 3.9 started, and ignore anything below that.

She's eating now, rather than freaking out, so I'm hopeful this was just a small one...

11. are they giving the usual *this might be a foreshock* warnings?

Hope this was just a bump for y'all. Northridge quake was enough to send us packing.

12. 3.2?

Truck drove by.

:boring:

[Cleita]

13. That's no more than a sonic boom. Not much to worry about unless it's

a pre-quake to a big one. Small sesmic quakes are good so they tell me because they reduce the pressure on the fault lines making a bigger one less likely.

14. Oh, so is that what it was?

Haha, I just thought one of my neighbors was banging on the wall.

15. Rush slipping and landing on his wide ass would've caused a quake bigger than that. {nt}

[shance]

16. Studio City didn't feel it .....at least I didnt.

Thank you for the post Maddy*

I did hear however about the 'government' (homeland security) doing an experimental explotion of DEPLETED URANIUM off the coast in Northern California (Sacramento?).

There was a news clip. Let me see if I can find it.

[fed-up]

17. please find it-Sacramento is inland, part of the Central Valley, not the coast nt

[onager]

18. Didn't feel a thing.

And I'm north of Tarzana, in the SF Valley.

[Lex]

19. Can they feel that?
