I felt it...I just kept sitting on my couch eating easter candy going "meh"
I didn't feel it, but my friend did and some shit in the house shook.
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;21175729]if you, and the many other paranoid people saying that it's all related, you're wrong. scientists have been saying for ages now, since all the quakes following the haiti quake, that it's all unrelated and that these sort of earthquakes happen all the time. also, since the haiti quake, people including the media are paying more attention to earthquakes. you're just paranoid[/QUOTE] I know I am paranoid, but I just can't help it. A part of me deep down wants to know the truth, but what -is- the truth. Are we being baffled by scientists to keep the public out of panic? I try not to worry about it, but I'm just trying to be prepared for if the time comes

Looks like they were shaken out of comfort. :smug: Yeaahh first try at a news pun :l

My cousin was calling Blockbuster to check if they had Just Cause 2 right when it happened. The girl on the phone said she had to evacuate and then hung up on us.
I KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS! I KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME! It was San Andrea's fault!
[QUOTE=MetaliheaD;21173285]fuck man i felt the aftershock here in Arizona[/QUOTE] No you didn't, I sure as hell didn't feel a thing.
[QUOTE=StickyNade;21179286]No you didn't, I sure as hell didn't feel a thing.[/QUOTE] What part of Arizona are you in? Yuma County got a pretty good part of the quake.
[QUOTE=smurfy;21178388]I KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS! I KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME! It was San Andrea's fault![/QUOTE] Except this was not caused by the San Andreas fault.
[QUOTE=Killuah;21175776]That's actually pretty good news because it lessens the chance of a big 8 to 10 motherfucker building up. The area was overdue.[/QUOTE] I've always wondered that. Maybe we haven't had the big one yet because no pressure is building up. I mean if pressure is building up we wouldn't be having tiny 1-3 magnitude earthquakes all the damn time.
Felt it here in Tucson, about 200 miles away from the epicenter. Was just sitting on the computer and my body felt a little weird. Then I realized the building was swaying back and forth. Was more entertaining than scary, for sure.
[QUOTE=mjbrooks194;21181252]What part of Arizona are you in? Yuma County got a pretty good part of the quake.[/QUOTE] Yeah I live in Yuma and everyone I talked to felt it and said it lasted a good 30 seconds. Unfortunately I was distracted by a shower

The aftershock of the 6.9 earthquake has left many buildings slightly shook.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;21181839]Except this was not caused by the San Andreas fault.[/QUOTE] Still in the Ring of Fire.
[QUOTE=emPiRe14;21202866]Still in the Ring of Fire.[/QUOTE] what how is that relevant
This isn't anything new, I hope you guys realize this.
