Was there an earthquake today in Cali?

I sort of heard it on the way home.

Won't be long before we get ours. Good luck to people who live in Richmond or Queensborough if the big one hits.

6.9 on the RS (not Revscene, LOL) Richter Scale........

[shenmecar]

Yes.

LOS ANGELES- A 6.9 magnitude earthquake centered in Baja California, Mexico was felt all over Southern California, rocking high rise buildings from San Diego to Los Angeles, but there were no immediate reports of major damage.

The preliminary magnitude-6.9 quake struck at 3:40 p.m. PT about 110 miles east-southeast of Tijuana, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

According to reports, the quake's force caused high-rise buildings in San Diego to sway back and forth around 30 seconds before rocking high-rise buildings in downtown Los Angeles.

Richmond.. million of years WTF?

lol.. Richmond probably won't sink that dramatically. but for sure it will be flooded if a 6+ hits

[jing]

is it really gonna be THAT big of a deal for richmond? i mean, richmond has been here for millions of years, i'd suspect that it has undergone quite a few earthquakes... and yet it's still here
lulz ignorance at its finest..

[greendb7]

it will be bad since YVR is there, that is if anything sinks

[Durrann]

1 person confirmed dead as a result of this earthquake so far.

[dachinesedude]

i wouldnt say the whole richmond would be bad, but the coast would be pretty fucked up if a big one do hit(river road, steveston, 1 rd)

Ever since that Haiti quake, the quakes have been inching closer and closer to us. Turkey, Japan, LA...

Lol whenever I blaze up at night all alone I get paranoid the quake will happen.

The land may survive (I doubt it: liquifaction + flooding = a whole shit ton of water), but I know for fucking sure that after the "big one" hits all the buildings build on the silty delta we call Richmond will no longer be standing.

[1exotic]

Richmond will be fucked, but what about further out... such as Burnaby/Coquitlam.

[murd0c]

Richmond will be fucked, but what about further out... such as Burnaby/Coquitlam.

Burnaby and Coquitlam are both on bed rock they will be fine. The biggest issue will be the fraser river breaking the dikes and causeing massive flooding.

[2damaxmr2]

Well at least i don't have to worry about the looters once the big one hits.

[MDMA]

They call it Ditchmond for a reason

I think you've been blazing up a little too often, or you need to pay attention in geography a bit more... how do you figure the earthquakes have been getting closer to us?

Distance from Vancouver

Haiti: 5644km
Turkey: 9605km
Japan: 7544km

Magnitude 7.8 quake shakes Indonesia's Sumatra today
JAKARTA (Reuters) – A major earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck off the coast of Aceh on the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Wednesday, but there were no immediate reports of a tsunami or casualties.

A Reuters photographer on Simeulue island, south of Aceh, said there was panic and electricity was cut off after the quake. Metro TV reported that people rushed to higher ground in some areas.

The quake was centered 204 km (127 miles) west-northwest of the coastal town of Sibolga and was at a depth of 46 km (28.6 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It had initially reported the quake's magnitude at 7.6.

The Reuters witness said there were at least three aftershocks.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no threat of a destructive widespread tsunami. However, it added: "There is the possibility of a local tsunami that could affect coasts" no more than 100 km (62 miles) from the epicenter of the quake.

In December 2004, a magnitude 9.15 quake off the coast of Sumatra's Aceh province triggered an Indian Ocean tsunami that killed about 226,000 people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and nine other countries

um...hey how about mitchell island?

[-EuroRSN-]

Man doesnt matter where you live in Van if the big one hits WE WILL ALL BE FUCKED!

[alwaysideways]

It wont be so much about the inital EQ, its going to be how we all survive until help arrives (water, food, shelter, ect). If Abbottsford airport still has a functioning runway it wont be too bad, but if its damaged it will take a long time before help arrives. Roads/Bridges into the area will likely be out of commission, no airport means helicopters only....

On the plus side, the probability of it happening anytime soon is minimal. Possible yes but not probable.

Cali has been having EQ's for year and years. Those who think we are close because Cali just had one.....you FAIL
