It's only a matter of time before that 9.6 rocker hits.
My room is moving... color me happy... it's not the earthquake, but it'll do. :)
Earthquakes, hurricanes, earthquakes, hurricanes...what ever happen to a good old fashion rainy day?
Oh heck. Put me on the list if I'm not already.
Seems like it's going to be used a lot in the future....

I want a 10! Like ME!
Landslides for whom? Free Republic.com is based in California.
The (B) will do that.

That 3.1 is a 3.9, and is east of the 6.9 that happened twenty minutes ago. Hmm.
What the b fails to accomplish the p's will. My room is moving... nicely.'
YOU may leave the thread.
Now. Shoo. Scram.
It felt stronger than the 7.2, but appears to be a few miles farther out. Must not have been as deep as the last. They are both in the same general area where we get most of our shakers up here. On the triple-plate junction.
WHERE is Petrolia???
