Keep getting bigger.

Unusual.

trailers are coming off their foundations says the update on earthquake-report.com

Interesting. 5.3 is just about big enough to knock a glass off a shelf.

Thank you so very much!

I’m guessing that the soil is really loose there. Or the trailers are.

[SCalGal]

Trailers are generally either 5th wheels or pull behind camping trailers. Mobiles can be either with or without a permanent foundation.

So, I'm not sure what they mean by "trailers coming off their foundations".

[machogirl]

They didn’t say on their update.

[machogirl]

Been about 10 minutes.

Nope, I’m home in Mississippi awaiting Isaac and an answer from dearest, sweet you!

I expect any second our President will be quoted on these earthquakes and that he’s right on top of it.

Sorry, had to go fix my pup and me something to eat. He was about to rip the top off my laptop. lol

I'm thinking pressure waves here, emanating from deep within the mantle. Remember our discussions a month or two back about them?

Sheesh wonder where there is one near by?....hehehe!

[machogirl]

that is interesting. it’s eerily quiet. animals want to eat now.

[machogirl]

sure looks similar.

25 posts before a California basher shows up.

25 posts before a LIBERAL basher shows up. I don't think LA or San Fran reflects the rest of the US of A. Look who elects the nancy pig lousy, babs boxer, maxine waters and the like. We have our own Queen Sheila and lord dognuts districts, but not the number of leftists in Texas compared to CA.

trailers coming off their foundations”.

Older mobiles were set on mortor blocks. Most states require newer mobiles to be secured - tied down to cement pillars. We just got a new mobile here in Wisconsin so I’m guessing that is what it means.

Where was that rumblin that Drudge had a link to posted yesterday? I know it was california but not sure where>?

[Errant]

That was up around Sacramento, IIRC.

[hope]

The weather channel is reporting 99 earthquakes so far..I think they are shy of a few.

[machogirl]

they sure are

Barry told his girls he was “going to plug that hole”. Will that work here? (/s)

Thanks... This Stoneley wave thing is for sure the culprit and thanks to the borehole I wonder if we would have ever captured it? Anyways...if the plant did not cause the swarm, we sure know what did. By the looks of things perhaps it's calming down. http://apl.aip.org/resource/1/applab/v31/i8/p547_s1?isAuthorized=no Stoneley waves have long been assumed to exist between rock strata deep within the earth’s crust. We report the first direct measurements of Stoneley waves, in this case generated at 8 MHz and propagated along nickel‐Pyrex and other interfaces. The optically measured wavelengths agree with calculated values within 1%. The waves are not detected between unsuitable material pairs. Possible applications are suggested.
