Earthquake Warning

Sorry guys, I know how much you love this stuff, but if I don't post it, and it could have helped someone, well, you know. Guilt and shit.

It is a serious earthquake warning for Southern California (7.0 or greater is expected from a scientific perspective within a week), a letter was even sent to Governor Arnold. USGS is down right now, probably due to high amounts of activity. A "main signal" is what they are waiting on to make the final prediction of when and where. There was a 5.6 magnitude off the Oregon about an hour ago, as well. It is always a good idea to stock up on supplies, even if it is a false reading. Be safe.

  1. Sweet. Just what I need this week. That kinda scares me cuz we are due for an earthquake. I've only felt maybe 2 in the last few years which isn't good.

    There's our girl! Back with seismic warnings. Thankfully, I'm on the other side of the continent, so there's little fear of my imminent death right now...unless Yellowstone pops it's top. I wish they'd stop airing that damn show.

    Seriously though, I do hope it's a false alarm and that there turns out to be no need to worry.
