Ridgecrest may have very significant damage and loss of life. we'll see....praying 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It struck about 8:20pm last night. It was stronger and lasted longer than the previous quake. Since we felt it so much, we knew Ridgecrest was really being hit badly. Our hanging plants were swaying, aquarium water sloshing some, mom's chair shaking. I was standing in the kitchen by a counter, could feel it but felt secure by the counter. We are about 150 miles from Ridgecrest. The only saving grace for us was that these two big quakes were the rolling, swaying type once arriving in L.A. The thrust type quakes are more violent, such as the one I experienced in 1994. That was terrifying. Ayin, it is a law here that apartments have a Carbon Monoxide detector. But this management company is shady. They said they would refuse our rent check if we didn't pay them $135 for a plumbing bill. We paid it as we thought they would try to evict us...then found out the other tenants didn't pay but called the city. The city inspector told me to call him next time. Once this management company has your money, they won't give it back. I tried to get reimbursed for $120 when my lock malfunctioned....they ignored me. They have done more awful stuff to tenants here and in thousands of buildings they manage, including wrongly ruining someone's credit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the same thing going on over here this month in the UK as well. So I assume it is a worldwide thing. God bless you, and you are in my prayers.

OK a quake....OK after shocks are expected and this could lead to a BIGGER ONE but then again it may not. In other words we don't have a clue. A big earthquake could happen absolutely any time possible in the next 100 years. I think all that these things are unpredictable. I am curious though when one sees these rooms shaking even though all still holds together what's that do to structural integrity inside of a building that you might not see? It boggles my mind to think everything can still just be fine with any building shaking like it does. Edited July 6, 2019 by Rockson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It boggles my mind to think everything can still just be fine with any building shaking like it does. I think it does affect especially the structures that are not built to withstand earthquakes. I've heard some buildings here like the Cathedral in downtown are built to withstand an 8 quake. Other newer buildings are built on rollers so they can sway easier. Our underground water pipes are over 100 years old. They have been breaking alot over the past 12 months or so. After the quake on July 4th, a water main broke in the Miracle Mile area. After the 7.1 quake on July 5, another portion of that water pipe broke. In my own apartment building, when the rugs were gone due to a big fire in my wing, I saw many cracks on the cement hall floors. Likewise when linoleum was put into my dining area, many long cracks on the cement under the old rug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being so shallow and so close to a populated area I can't help but see a hand of mercy in that. Ridgecrest residents and the military families on base at China Lake are still in a pretty dire situation, lots of homes now unliveable - but the lack of lost life is quite remarkable. That whole area is still shaking with a steady drumbeat of small quakes in the 1 to 3 magnitude range ...almost one a minute. I imagine people in the area remain on edge and those that have lost homes are in a real trial for sure. Knowing what China Lake Naval base is used for i wouldn't mind seeing that place leveled. If it could be done without loss of innocent life I'd be willing to push the button myself just to see that place wiped from human memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
