I think slightly worse than that, considering many walls had to be supported with struts.
They should quit fracking down there, or find a way to make up for all the damages caused.
In my country, we can get earthquakes of magnitude 6~7, twice a month
2.9 you don't feel anything really
I live on the fucking fault in california practically.
I sleep through big earthquakes.
[QUOTE=Ithon;47404722]If there was a movie of an earthquake in Chicago you know there would be a guy with a one liner "my deep dish pizza!"[/QUOTE]
Honestly it would be more like "Somehow Rahm Emanuel (Current Chicago Mayor) is responsible for this, so I blame him!"

Just basement flooding rain and icy blizzards.[/QUOTE]
It [I]can[/I] get them. We had a funnel almost touch down in Naperville last spring.
[QUOTE=Fat White Lump;47402377]Reminds me of that gnarly earthquake the east coast had back in 2011.

I didn't even get to feel it since it only hit southeast Ohio.

it's rare to see stuff around the skyline of the city, but shit hits pretty much anywhere. the suburbs will see a formation several times a month in the spring, in the very least. The threat is real enough that I have to triple check the time and date if I hear sirens to make sure it's not a test (which run the first tuesday of the month at 10am in most places)
June 24th last year (this is just preceding the front of the 'Derecho' storm on the 30th) I got caught underneath a near-touchdown just after leaving work, traveling through Des Plaines. A few others and I pulled off the road and up against an old building when shit was very clearly starting to hit the fan. The thick rain was coming down in a wide spiral down and around the building, but breaking the pattern as it pushed down past the roof. Heavy, heavy winds shaking the car despite the apparent break of formation for several minutes, then 'poof' the rain stops and clouds are opening up again. Sunny skies and warm out not 15 minutes before, dropped 20 degrees and was almost dark as night with a hellish thunderstorm and tornado force rain slamming down. Weather sites hadn't even predicted rainfall and sirens didn't go off, it was terrifying.
also I've felt earthquakes here before, but 99% of the time you either just think there was a truck that hit a pothole on a nearby road or the low, near inaudible rumble sounds more like a freight train passing down the tracks several miles off
a knife wobbled down from my fridge hitting my cat causing it to scurry onto a broom that fell over and cut the stove on maximum which had a loaf of bread on it which had fire spread to the gas can to the left of it which exploded which caused the knifes in the knife storage to kill my wives and my childrens.

They give subsidies for solar panels or insulation to people who can prove damages, which is a start. In my opinion. the thing that's so fucked about it is that all the money flows to south of the Netherlands. I'll stop talking now since this is pretty off topic.
psh, you guys. 70% of my cities cbd is just parking lots now, even 4 years after the earthquake. you guys need to step it up.
