Although as quakes go this was nothing to get excited about.
A batch of those IOUs must have bounced!
2.9? Wake us up when it’s 5.0 or greater.
There has been an earthquake somewhere in the world almost every day for the last month or so. Reminds me of Revelation.
If it’s 5 or greater no one’s going to have to wake you up.
The Sylmar quake back in 1971 nearly threw me out of bed, and I was 50 miles away. 6.6. That was one scary quake.
I appear to be within 5 miles of this little roller and it was about like having a large truck rattle the house.
Michael Moore sitting down onto a toilet would cause a bigger tremor.
There’s little quakes every day in some parts of California.
Conservative, LEAVE California!
I want California to disappear
but
not take conservatives away.
How does a 2.9 quake even warrant a post? That’s hilarious. But now I’m posting about it. Let’s make this the longest thread ever!!!
It's business as usual, like it's been for eons on this planet. Welcome to FR.
Now if you want to talk about 0bama and his cast of Congresscritters...
Or Pelosi and Boxer unloading in the bathromm ... .
I didn’t know the quakometer went that low.
The rapidity of the earthquakes are accelerating. We obviously disagree.
In Thinveller, Iceland, magma emerges from under the European tectonic plate, and solidifies, as the Easternmost edge of North America.
In California, the North American plate dives under the Pacific plate, and is ground into dust, amid various earthquakes.
About a thousand years ago, the first representational republic was formed on the North American continent - ironically, by a bunch of Vikings, at - you guessed it - Thingveller, Iceland.
So, in many ways, it is true that America is bjorn in the middle of Iceland, and dies in California.
Fixed!
Yes, I guess we do disagree. I’m not even a Californian, I’m in Minnesota, so I’ll let them debate that with you.
I studied enough about plate tectonics to know things are constantly shifting on this planet. I worry more about the shift occurring in Washington than a 2.9 in California regarding Revelations.
That’s what I was thinking...nothing major, just a mild rumble.
I believe the world averages about 8000 earthquakes per day.
Yup, why get up in arms over a text that wasn’t written to us, most of which has already happened over 1900 years ago, and read every little world event into a sign of the end. Jack Van Impe does enough of that for the whole world.
I’m aware of the 8000 earthquake #. There was a major one in New Zealand. Italy. They are getting more frequent and more intense.
felt a beaut! in 2007 in San Jose that was in the 5 range. After shocks went on for days.
Had one earlier this year in the 4 range.
Other than that the rest you pretty much don't pay attention to.
Unless you were sitting right on top of it.
Who is Jack Van Impe? Doesn’t matter. If you’re talking the Bible, it speaks to me. On that note, bedtime.
Hope you all are fine in California.
This post can’t go much longer. It’s boring. lol
Jack Van Impe is a fraud who just wants to sell DVD’s.
There are a lot of other things happening, like the Euphrates drying up, not to mention America being given over to immoral rulers.
The events of Revelation have not happened yet.
2.9????
Ohhh, I’m shakin!!!!
NOT
;-)
A batch of those IOUs must have bounced!
LOL!
Gonna be trouble in the public housing sector, bet on it!
Watts?!
Who does John tell us it is written to in the very first chapter after he tells them "what must soon take place" and "because the time is near" in his introduction?
There is no good reason to twist plainly written scripture.
2.9 is not going to cut it.
Hey, when you’re sitting on top of the next 2.9 killer quake it will be your turn to start the thread, laughing boy.
You know, this poor quake is becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of earthquakes. Tough crowd tonight.
“What must soon take place” is in the time table of the Lord. Revelation has to be pieced together with Daniel and Ezekial, that is the difference.
Israel was not a nation from about 500 AD to 1948. Dry bones, etc etc. Israel used to be barren, not it is lush. Anyone who has been there knows this.
Then there is the church of Laodicia in Rev, the lukewarm church. That refers to the Christians of today. Post-modern Christians do no soul-winning, just go to church and go home for the rest of the week. This does not describe the Christians from earlier centuries. There are so many things that are coming together it isn’t funny. I could go on and on about the things that have not happened yet.
Lol
I prefer my quakes to be in the 2.9 range, if they insist on showing up uninvited. Which they mostly do.
Although a really big quake is usually good for thinning out the herd. I’ve had neighbors move out of state after some of the bigger ones.
Should’ve said Israel was not a nation from “500 BC” not AD
I’ll be glad to hope for a bigger one if it makes you feel any better!
Every decent human being should move out of California. All Thirty Three of you. ;O)
That was my biggest. It was a shaker, not a roller.
This is the part of the world I’m worried about.

Site of the largest quake ever recorded, a 9.5 in May, 1960
A couple of those and it will be the Island of Chile.
I worked in a build that was at that site ahown on Google map.
How can they give a center point of an earthquake when it happens along a fault line?
That’s walking distance away. No wonder it caught my attention.
I don’t care if it’s a 2.9. Baby earthquakes make my hair stand up, too.
And violent shaking at that.
I know someone who lived in Fullerton, in the hills. The Sylmar quake lifted the water out of her swimming pool and sent it through a sliding glass door and into her house. She had just walked past that door and into the kitchen. It did all sorts of damage and she probably would have been severely injured by the glass shards if she had been in front of the door. They took the pool out.
I remember the Sylmar quake waking me up. It seemed like the house was a box of Cracker Jacks that someone was shaking laterally. It was shaking so bad I couldn’t stand up so I went back to bed. The dogs were sure freaked out!
