A 6.5 earthquake is a good jolt, but I would not consider anything under a 7.0 “massive”…

Just about the only retail commodity that has not been hit by rampant inflation and decrease in the value of the dollar has been the production and sale of wine. I still pay 2021 and 2022 prices. Looks like that may change if scarce supply enters the picture. This is wine country and vineyards are all situated over northern California.

A 6.5 earthquake is like having "minor surgery". It is minor to everyone that is not experiencing it.
My personal threshold to get worried, is when I hear glass breaking in a quake. Then I get nervous.

“Tens of thousands without power” in California is unfortunately not news.

Here in Indiana it would be massive.

When the east bay mini quake hit on Saturday, I recalled how the massive 10/17/89 Loma Prieta quake had a preschool on 8/8/89. Tongue in cheek I said the Saturday quake could foreshadow a major quake, but probably not, thus reflecting the squishy state of earthquake science.
Was I prescient? No. What we can say with certainty is that two earthquakes so far away from each other, on completely different fault systems, are completely unrelated. Lumping them together in the same article is journalistic malpractice

I thought the same thing - I’m a native of the state, dead center in earthquake territory - and 6.5 is a good jolt but nothing “massive” - now a 7.5+ , THAT would be massive.
Note to self: Check earthquake emergency supplies, including ammo.

Has the governor blamed “climate change” yet and demanded another increase in the gas tax (already the highest in the nation)?
He will.

There’s only one thing to do- increase taxes - that should help matters

"“Tens of thousands without power” in California is unfortunately not news."
Like "dozens shot in Chicago". Not news, just a quiet night.

“loss of power”
Clearly PGE’s fault.
Fines forthcoming.

The only sensible thing at this point is to set off dynamite at the San Andreas Fault and let the western part of the state slide off into the Pacific. Drastic, you say? It’s inevitable. You announce the blast a week before the event and watch how many flee back to Mexico.
