Did you feel it? Report shaking and damage at your location. You can also view a map displaying accumulated data from your report and others.

This map shows the predicted (theoretical) travel times, in minutes, of the compressional (P) wave from the earthquake location to points around the globe. The travel times are computed using the spherically-symmetric IASP91 reference earth velocity model. The heavy black lines shown are the approximate distances to the P-wave shadow zone (103 to 140 degrees).

Yep. There seems to be no end to their fantasy fiction.

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.

LOL!

It's another Tequila Sunrise...

[newzjunkey]

Well, it's Mexico so we might expect there to be damage and perhaps dead except I'm too tired to puzzle out where this is located.

[bd476]

Ouch! LOL!

I hear that Preperation-H wanted to use the song in a commercial and they were turned down. lol

Actually, Walking Dude - it was my fault. I've been testing nukes in my back yard.

My toddler fell down for no reason seven minutes later !

[bd476]

Great map! Thanks.

[bd476]

LOL, and that would be considered an after shock down boom.

[dc-zoo]

Tequila Sunrise.. hey that's a good one.

[bd476]

Thanks again for the map.

Just FYI, I went searching for more info on Jalisco.

There are a bunch of cool looking Surfing Mexico sites, however, my computer crashed wiped out big time when I landed on one.

Don't drink the water and be careful where you click.

"......Did you feel it?......"

Everything normal here in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Sarcasm aside though, there seems to be a great deal of activity lately on the West Coast.

[bd476]

That's possible, but I sincerely hope you're wrong about the timing.

[bd476]

The West Coast has had a little respite from large quakes in the past couple years.

Hopefully these recent quakes are not fore shocks but simply the earth releasing a bit of pent-up energy.

LOL!
