USGS ^ | 7/29/08

[ZGuy]

An earthquake is now rocking the Southern California area. (I'm near Dodger Stadium)
As I post this, the USGS has not yet determined the epicenter so click on the link above for the exact location and magnitude from the USGS.

Here are the maps for California and Los Angeles:

Here's the historical review of the last seven days:

USGS Downgrades to a 5.4

[yield 2 the right]

DOWNGRADING TO FROM 5.8 TO 5.4 PER FNC....

[BunnySlippers]

Shep is breathless right now ...

[lainie]

I’m glad some of you are able to watch him & report. Saves the rest of us the heartburn.

[sarasota]

Thanks. Anyone know if Air Canada has issues?

[Coldwater Creek]

I have family in Yorba Linda as well, I couldn't get phone service to them. Thanks for the info.

Did they happen to say which direction from them the epicenter was? We used to live in Rowland Hights.

Now in Tenn. and just get tornadoes.

5.0 will wake up the dog. 6.0 the dog will come out of the doghouse and sniff around for a couple minutes. 7.0 the dog will give you white-eye.

Lot of moving and rolling here by downtown San Diego.
lesser aftershocks in the past half hr.

[sofaman]

yup here .. we survived Gray Davis and Arnold Scwarzenschriver, we’ll survive this

[BurbankKarl]

Soto and Eastern would be SE LA...probably a major pipe too.

I am listening to the LA County Radio System, they are very concerned about that water leak...the hole is growing big time.

This one was a swaying quake in CA very much like the ones we have here in the midwest. That 5.2 we had earlier this year in the midwest was a long swaying quake that lasted about 45 seconds. Hard rumbling at first then swaying.

Prayers to the folks out in CA.

Just downgraded to a 5.4 mag per Fox News.

Checking in from Hollywood, around Hollywood and Western. Felt a pretty good jolt and shake, thankful to work in a well built 80 year old building.

All clear.

[T Minus Four]

Wrong, each whole number (one point) is ten times stronger than the previous. A 5.0 in ten times stronger than a 4.0

[SE Mom]

Shep is disappointed by the downgrade..

BUT he says “I can now report a NUMBER of AFTERSHOCKS”....

[LRS]

Yeah, Shep is trying to work himself up...

[Osage Orange]

Yep....unless things have changed with "Global Warming".

LOL!

[Tennessee_Bob]

stong? Is that like hugh?

Aww, cut him some slack. It's obvious his beeber was stunned.

[mware]

shep needs a midol and a white wine spritzer today to calm his nerves - he was an idiot during Katrina

As TOL would say, OH THE DRAMA!!!

[Lucky9teen]

Do you hear them...?

The sound of a freight train coming through your house, imo.

[lainie]

Thanks, CM.. you too

now downgraded to 5.4? that surprises me.
