They expect tsunami activity up and down the coast and there are County signs to indicate this possibility. Apparently there is a 'big one' due any year now. Yes, they keep saying we are overdue for a big one....sure hope not. They say we are 100 years overdue down here....San Andreas fault. 6 minutes ago, BeauJangles said: @missmuffet lives in the Pacific north west, but I'm not sure how far up there on the western seaboard she is. Would be interesting to hear if anyone in the Pacific Northwest felt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake Alert. https://www.shakealert.org/ Anyone on the west coast in a low lying area (below 600 feet) should stay alert at all times. Often a quake is detected way out to sea giving time for people to evacuate low areas. "Studies of earthquake early warning methods in Washington, Oregon, and California have shown that the warning time would range from seconds to a tens of seconds. ShakeAlert can give enough time to slow trains and taxiing planes, to prevent cars from entering bridges and tunnels, to move away from dangerous machines or chemicals in work environments and to take cover under a desk, or to automatically shut down and isolate industrial systems. Taking such actions before shaking starts can reduce damage and casualties during an earthquake. It can also prevent cascading failures in the aftermath of an event. For example, isolating utilities before shaking starts can reduce the number of fire initiations. For every earthquake, there is a region near the epicenter where alerts will not arrive before shaking begins because the system needs time to detect the earthquake and for USGS partners to distribute the alert. " Always have a plan, even if you never use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those not real familiar with how earthquake scales relate to how intense an earthquake is, this is a good example. The 7.1 that hit China Lake and Ridgecrest did a lot of damage, more on the base than in Ridgecrest itself. The Richter and Mw (moment magnitude scale) are both logarithmic scales (measuring the amplitude of the waves released) but the energy actually released is not a logarithmic progression as amplitude increases are.... which in practical terms means an increase of 0.2 indicates TWICE as much energy was released. So, as counterintuitive as it may sound ....this Indonesian quake is roughly double the strength of the 7.1 that hit California. The difference between 1 full point, (the difference between a 6.0 and a 7.0 or any full one point spread) represents an increase of energy released of about 31.6X The higher the numbers get on the scale, the more dramatic the differences in amounts of energy expended become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, Indonesia now. Sure hope and pray the San Andreas fault doesn't act up. I understand there are at least a few faultlines under Los Angeles. Our water mains are breaking under the streets as it is, let alone with a quake. And we also have alot of high rise buildings. The higher they are, the more they sway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google earth shows the epicenter of this Indonesian quake is in a quite remote area, pretty far from any major population centers, so hopefully there won't be much in the way of loss of life, or property. I dunno why, but since the California quakes i've felt an urge to pay more attention to quakes in general than i have felt in quite some time. I can't say I've had any revelation about where He is at in this, but my ears are perked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
