Richter values are a lot like Megatonnage. Both express an estimate of how much energy is released at a single point.

What matters to you is how close it is, what kind of land you are on and what kind of building you are in.

That is why the Richter scale is good for geologists but almost useless for engineers. If the 2.5 is right under your house, you will notice it, and may have to dig your way out.

2.0? Don't even wake me unless it's at least a 6, and don't post about it unless it's at least a 7...heheh.

Mr Teacup and I were staying over night in Yucca valley when the 7.4 hit. And then the Big Bear one hit a few hours later. Now there was an earth quake. Tore up Yucca Valley down town.

Must be a really slow news day in the LA area to even mention a 2.5 belch!

Up here in N. Kali, we would not even notice that, (Map of latest shaking in Kali)

Who appointed YOU the posting police?
ABC news reported it, so I passed it on. CHILL!

It's okay, no one on this thread is truly upset with you for posting this. But we are making fun of it a bit.

2.5 is not an earthquake and it hardly qualifies as a tremor...those of us who live in CA are so used to them that unless it hits 6.0 and we have absolutlely nothing else going on we "might" stand in a doorway otherwise we are so jaded that it really just doesn't matter. But we appreciate your concern for sure, have a nice day and let's do lunch sometime. Ciao! Semper Fi, Mike

Must have been right under the KFI Newscenter. They reported it in their 'news headlines'---ABC affiliate--and it went right to the national wire. No fault in your reporting, only theirs.

We have gotten into the habit of using 'unreliable' sources, haven't we? {;~)

"...Nothing to see here, move along, go to the mall, buy a car, get on a plane..."

LOL!

But you didn't finish...

Be quiet and don't complain about the two sand goblins three rows up arguing vehemently in Arabic.

Just shut up and ponder the wonder that is diversity.

And don't be working that armrest back and forth. You can't break it loose, and -if you do manage to- the airline will rat you out to your employer and put your ass in a sling with them.

Just close your eyes and relax. the strip search you had to endure before boarding your flight will insure your safety.

The Taliban is experimenting with one of it's weapons of mass destruction.

Oh please! A 2.5? Rosanne Barr fell off her damn chair, that's what caused it. Sheesh!

Darn right you should go to the mall, buy a car, take a trip, if america doesn't keep moving, more people will lose their jobs. I'm sure the terrorists would just love to see our economy get worse than it already is, do you want to give them that satisfaction? I don't, and I'm not going to let anyone scare me from the malls or from travelling.
