URGENT -- MAGNITUDE 6.5 QUAKE HITS WEST OF FERNDALE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

CRACKS IN THE ROAD IN EUREKA
Wasn’t Alaska in ‘60s bigger?
I know have three sites up.
Quick someone run up to Oregon and check on those Sea Lions that hauled ass from SFO recently ...
I was in a very small one here on the east coast once!
I live on the Chesapeake Bay and the soil around here is clay in nature, so any little shaking is amplified by the soil. When it hit it felt like I was sitting on a bowl of jello for about 20 seconds. It was very freaky and my equilibrium was a little out of whack for several hours after. Thankfully it was so small that there was no damage other than the sounds of the house creaking and the cats getting worked up a bit.
I can't imagine living through a REAL quake!
My little roller is plenty.
Tsunami???
Load that software. I’ve had software engineers tell me they wish they’d written it. It’s really good.
That was my though.
Running posts on Twitter from people on the ground
Thanks for sharing that! Let us know if you hear anything else.
Any word from people in San Francisco, Petaluma, or points thereabouts?
Yet Obama continued his vacation anyway. ;)
Total BS...they started leaving end of October first part of November...to feed...nothing much left in SF bay...are now in Oregon with plenty of anchovies...

Subject: Tsunami Information Statement issued 01/9/2010 at 4:32PM PST
At 4:28 PM Pacific Standard Time on January 9, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 6.4 occurred 15 miles/24 Km southwest of Eureka, California.
The magnitude is such that a tsunami IS NOT EXPECTED. However, in coastal areas of intense shaking, locally generated tsunamis can be triggered by underwater landslides. This will be the only WCATWC message issued for this event.
The location and magnitude are based on preliminary information. Further information will be issued by the United States Geological Survey or the appropriate regional seismic network.

They’re here, and look very relaxed.
Who would have thought sea lions like Pizza
Yup, the San Andreas. Our little friend here in So Cal.
USGS and 911 say no.
