Wow, these EQs are getting stronger.... makes me wonder what our BIG ONE in Cali will be like... the Sunday Mexico quake was definitely felt all the way up in L.A.
I was looking for you on the Baja thread the other day- checking on you! Glad you’re well.
The whole pacific plate is acting up.
I was at a park in a Los Angeles suburb Easter Sunday when the Mexicali quake hit. It was so slow and rolly that most people weren’t aware of it. It felt like a cruise ship moving in calm seas. I felt it distinctly and it lasted over 2 minutes, not at all like all the others I’ve experienced. No shocking moment.
But it reminded me of the complete helplessness we feel in a quake, the kinetic energies involved are almost unimaginable. The entire landscape acts like rubber.
“Wow, these EQs are getting stronger....”
Sure are. I can make them bigger if you want.
