Feel better, Riders.
I have a little terrier chihuahua mix who has a traumatic melt down every 4th of July. It's so bad that I have to put a 'thunder shirt' on him (and it's HOT here...he's miserable even in an air conditioned house) and use a mild tranquilizer. He still hides under the covers.
Well, having an earthquake this morning didn't help him any. I've had a very interesting Independence Day! A 6.4 earthquake that lasted for nearly a minute. We felt it here, but we haven't felt any of the aftershocks that hit China Lake.
Thank all the folks who got together and passed the California building codes...and who enforce them.
ANY way, feel better. Have a slightly less scary July Fourth....

Congratulations. Don't start a new war with Iran. You are in a habit of repeatedly doing so. It will harm the whole world.
Yeah, I saw the videos. It was very strong. It would have flattened half of Delhi where we hardly have any building laws.
That strong! However, the duration can be measured only by machines. Human perception errs.

The dog's fine...we put a 'thundershirt' on him, give him a tranquilizer and let him hide under the bed. He's none the worse for wear.
I, however, spoke too soon...there was this 7.1 'aftershock' that hit us the day after I posted this...and we felt a LOT of aftershocks from that one.
Nothin' fell off the shelves in our house, though; Poor Trona got shaken down, pretty much, but except for being hot and thirsty, it looks like everybody is OK, pretty much. Except for one man, it looks like, whose car fell on him while he was working on it....in Las Vegas.
I can't help but compare this to the earthquakes in, say, Haiti, (also a magnitude 7), that cost 316,000 lives.
thanks to where it was, and to the California building codes, which are incredibly rigorously enforced, for that.
Now WE (my parents and I) went to Utah. We just got home...and amazingly enough, for the first time everybody knew where we lived! All we had to do was say we were a hundred miles southwest of Ridgecrest, and voila', Weird feeling.
Given that the place I live in is larger than three quarters of most state capitals and Ridgecrest has a whoppin' 30,000 people in it....(grin)

We are. My mom (91) is freaked out now, though. They are having earthquakes in Seattle, according to her, right next to Mt. Ranier (they aren't, and it was a piddly 4 pointer, but, well...Mom.) She now thinks that the entire 'Circle of Fire) is going to go, coming back around to the San Andreas fault, which will FINALLY deliver the "Big One' and give us beach front property. We do, after all, live on the North American plate side of it.
I think that would be a slightly miserable result. Even though I do like the beach.
