Did anyone feel the small quake last night?

http://www.news1130.com/news/local/article/184186--small-quake-felt-around-the-south-coast

I was sleeping and I woke up felt my bed shake...Was confused at first and thought it was just my imagination :whistle:

Guess it wasn't. No one else in my family felt it.

[chris walter]

Shit there was another small earthquake last week on the island. Get ready for the big one

[Gtrr33]

what did you guys expect? it will happen soon, just make sure you are prepared.

[buddy]

i slept right through it ...

[jmvdesign]

Didn't feel it as I was still half awake.

Though, I have felt two 6.7 and 7.0 earthquakes before in LA and Philippines before. It's definitely one of the scariest experiences I've had.

[MG1]

Lots of small earthquakes = no big one, so let's have more small ones to relieve the pressure.

Damn it, took this long to get where I am today and now the big one might hit and I lose everything - that would totally suck balls.

Damn you, mother nature..................

Like most old timers, I'm well prepared. Stocked up on bottled water, canned goods, etc. All I need is a good generator.

Not living on the side of a mountain or on a delta. All good.

I guess if the big one hits, I'll have RS withdrawls............

[Euro7r]

Didn't feel anything, was too passed out at the time.

[twitchyzero]

i'm glad i don't live in richmond

[MG1]

Just like my son. He can sleep through earthquakes. I wouldn't be surprised if I find him snoring away with cinder blocks on top of his head. LOL.

[Berzerker]

I thought I was just having a really good fap session.. turns out it was a quake... It was better than I thought!

Berz out.

[!Yaminashi]

Wow, this is news to me. Didnt feel any shaking whatsoever

[urrh]

Wow, this is news to me. Didnt feel any shaking whatsoever

me too.
actually i've never felt an earthquake. i remember there was one when i was in high school but i was on a ski trip at the time. people told me desks were rumbling and stuff

[hotjoint]

didn't feel a thing

[$_$]

do you guys have earthquake kits? maybe i should start prepping one for my family ...

[AzNightmare]

If the "big one" strikes, the first thing RS members will do is create (and post in) an OFFICIAL EARTHQUAKE thread instead of getting under a desk or something.

Poll question for everyone:

You're lying in bed for the night, an earthquake strikes and you have a split second to react. Whats the first thing you would grab to keep safe?

[wasabisashimi]

i'm glad i don't live in richmond

richmond is on a hot streak for building new highrise condos

[twitchyzero]

it's not a bad idea to learn where the main power switch, gas and water valves are in the house...other than that i'm not really prepared myself.

Poll question for everyone:

water and cell phone

[!Yaminashi]

however none will be standing if we get hit

[dachinesedude]

didnt notice either, around what time?

the last "big" one i remember experiencing here was around 2000-2001, remember that one? the school was swaying back and forth after the quake, that was some intense shit, cant imagine being in a real big one (like 7.0+)

have to keep that safe at all costs.

[Vansterdam]

i feel safe as long as im not in richmond or at work when it strikes lol

[Teh Doucher]

Poll question for everyone:

bottles of water, truck keys, cell phone and wallet. only so i can drive out to calgary and escape all the bs that will follow after the big one.

[Teh Doucher]

i feel safe as long as im not in richmond or at work when it strikes lol

thats my worst fear, being stuck at work during the big one. id for sure get crushed by something

[MelonBoy]

Dam.. I hope im in school.. arent school buildings built to with stand a certain degree of earth quakes?.. also my room is full of ikea shit.. and my table can barely hold up my tv and stuff.. so ducking for cover is gonna be useles.. guess ill have to take my chacne standing between a door (door frames = strong?) lol... fml..

But for sure id grab my cellphone if anything lol ..

[Ikkaku]

Probably grab my phone, netbook and wallet. They're all pretty close to each other.

Not all schools are earthquake proof. What would be funny, though, is a school that has had seismic upgrading done, completely falling apart during a mild earthquake. This after millions of dollars being spent. I mean, tragic. Like leaky condos. Someone didn't build it right - pointing of fingers while hundreds of kids are being pulled out from the rubble.

Being downtown when an earthquake hits would also be an intersting experience. Those newer buildings would just sway like they were in an animation movie.

[Leopold Stotch]

i was eating at 645, felt nothing.

You know that small quakes are good for us right?

Small quakes relieve the tension built between the plates

[BeeBeeAhn]

Didn't feel anything up here in Squamish.

[Death2Theft]

Heres hoping that it hits the olympic village so all that shoddy worksmanship can go down and be rebuilt properly.

pants jacket and shoes, I can grab the other shit later. Ban it would be suck balls standing in my back yard in my boxers or buck ass naked. As well my truck keys so if something happens I could take off.

[dinamix]

My gun and iPhone.

It'd be easier for me to get anything I want incase of a public catastrophe .

exactly why LA never has big quakes. just small noticable ones quite a bit. Im not to worried. If it happens it happens, you cant live your life in fear of something like that happening

well, everything i need is right beside my bed. Phone, wallet, keys. Then just grab my jeans and jacket from where i threw them right beside my bed....then i would run down the 3 flights of stairs to the door haha. Oh and i would make sure that my family was getting out of the house too and the dog.

[Drow]

the last "big" one i remember experiencing here was around 2000-2001, remember that one? the school was swaying back and forth after the quake, that was some intense shit, cant imagine being in a real big one (like 7.0+)

in elementary i got sent out to stand in the halls along with my friend because we were fucking around in class. out of nowhere the door beside me started shaking and we thought it was one of our friends teasing us. i smacked the door to tell him to fuck off only to find that the exit sign on the ceiling was shaking as well. we then realized it was an earthquake and fckin booked it under a table. after the earthquake we were still standing outside the hallway for like 10 minutes and we decided to go back inside the class. when the teacher saw us she had the biggest O SHI- look on her face and started apologizing. thinking back to what happened then i realized i missed out on an opportunity to sue the school for some serious $$$. oh wells :mad:

[Lomac]

Didn't really notice anything this morning. Mind you, I was still slipping in and out of consciousness around that time.

Ya, I was about to enter a film set when shit starting vibrating around me. Decided it was best not to do so, considering there were probably a hundred mounted lights up in the air at that point. Didn't feel like dying from a falling fill light...

Hope a big earthquake happens. Richmond is so boring! :fullofwin:

[joxxy]

didn't feel anything, but I'm in Richmond.
I've felt 8.0 + earthquakes before moving here, and they're scary as shit.
but I'm even more scared now cause of what people say here... T.T

Thank you. Now I have been informed.

[vafanculo]

When i used to blaze up at night all by myself, i would get into super paranoid stages about 'the big one' lol. Sometimes id get super freaked out haha.

but even now that i dont smoke no more, i still seem to think about it once a day. Even though we are due for the big one, apparently it can happen anytime soon, but 'soon' in scientific terminology is like over a span of a few hundred years, if im not mistaken.

But yea, +1 for small quakes relieving the tension.

[BNR32_Coupe]

when the big one comes, just hope you arent in a concrete building over 3 stories high, or a condo/apartment.

house, wood buildings, or low rises and youre in the safest type of building possible.

when the big one hits, the majority of deaths will be people in downtown, richmond, and condos. unless the earth rips apart and lava spews out right in the centre of lower mainland, we're all going to be fine

yeah i was still in elementary school and the lights were swinging a little bit..didnt think much of it until i heard it on the news later on that day.

i think ive been in quakes that were 3-5 richter before but they usually lasts less than 15 seconds..pretty common in some areas of SE Asia.

[optiblue]

I was at work and didn't feel a thing. Didn't even see any ripples in the water baths.

my fleshlight.

[StylinRed]

You know this got me thinking... (i didnt feel this one or know about it till this thread)


The last time we had that larger earthquake... several years ago now i think...

me and my family didn't do anything we just sat there looking around wondering how bad it would get instead of reacting

-_-

should probably change that.... in case the next time the house just falls on us while we're observing


1st thing id grab is my wallet (where my phone and keys sit atop of so those too) then try and get out of the country/province until things get back to normal

[Ikkaku]

:lol I still remember the last 'major' quake we had, I was in drafting class back in highschool, the ceiling lights were swaying and people were like OH SHIT. Mind you, this was in Richmond, and the drafting room pretty much had concrete walls. Anyways, people were pointing out to good ol' Mr. Erickson that there is an earthquake, and he's all like 'that's absurd! the odds of that happen is incredibly slim!' He goes out to the office to see what's up and comes back in with a :S face and was like 'okay, you're right, there was an earthquake'

[jpoon]

We all need to be prepared though, and just because it hasn't come doesnt mean it wont come. Water, food, meeting places, emergency contacts = all need to be discussed with loved ones. And the phone lines will be jammed if an earthquake does happen, so relying on telecommunications won't be of help.

[Soundy]

We got so many trains going by here... a heavy freight ripping through at full speed gets the house shaking pretty good. Big One will hit and I won't even know the difference.

it's an earthquake not a zombie Apocalypse , there's no need to get out of the country .

damnit, you beat me to it. I'd grab my laptop after though and just spankwire some eva angelina and forget about everything else :fullofwin:

[Qmx323]

What if internet just DIES

[GabAlmighty]

My car keys and ID.

[baggdis300]

haha, this is the first im hearing of a small quake....

[StylinRed]

if there's a 10.0 or whatever that they're always yammering about everything will be pretty much flattened

why would i stick around :P

[1exotic]

and how exactly would you leave the country?

airports would be closed, roads would be fucked = you would be stuck here.

+ if there was a big earthquake, it might not even hit BC, might be closer to Seattle you never know.....

Wow I slept right through it, strange thing is I woke up at around 7:00am. Must not have felt it at all.

Ahh no brainer! Penis first, always, if I lose that I might as well just jump down the earthquake.

[!oHenry]

I just had a thought that if we have a bunch of small earthquakes, wouldn't that depressurize the plates enough and reduce the chance of "the big one". =S

that's part of the adventure :) better than sitting around and waiting

Quake like that hits anywhere north of Oregon, it's still gonna do plenty of damage here. Keep in mind that the actual subduction zone, and the expected epicenter, for the "Big One", is a good 20-30km off the west coast of Vancouver Island. That means Vancouver is more than 100km from it... and they still expect huge damage.

No kidding. It's not like the border crossings would be free of cars, if they were to be open. And heading south wouldn't make much difference if an earthquake was bad enough to make you want to leave. As for the airport, it's technically part of Richmond, and we all know what some predict would happen to Richmond during the Big One :whistle:

[Death2Theft]

Doesn't that make the island alot more vulnerable than say richmond? Being underwater is one thing but the force of the impact...

Lol wut? The only thing the island is good for in "the big one" is saving us all from a tsunami. The island and the mainland are on the same plate and will therefore "shake" relatively the same amount. Richmond's gonna sink no matter what in an earth quake. Unless for some fucked up reason it rises during the process...

[MG1]

Unless for some fucked up reason it rises during the process...

Wouldn't that be hilarious?

Richmond survives earthquake, while everywhere else is devastated. See? Chinese are going to take over, LOLOLOLOLOLOL.......... That's why they all live in Richmond.
