Jim in Anchorage Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Been here 20 years and this was the scarcest. Usually they rumble in shake the building and leave. This one rumbled in, shook the building and instead of leaving just kept getting stronger and stronger. I was at home and prayed out loud the building would stand[i dropped my EQ insurance years ago.] O well better then hurricanes I guess. Any of you have EQ stories to share?

BUFFALOKIE Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 We have been having lots of them the last few years in Oklahoma. Small by comparison, but weird because we never used to get them at all. Structural damage on home foundations, but nothing catastrophic. Yet. Friggin fracking!

I don't know about AD but I import my fish from the pure clean waters around Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 How close? I had two 4.2s a mile away about 2 hours apart the day after the space shuttle crashed in TX. Watched the patio door vibrating like crazy. Was the most shaking I had felt. Had a 5.2 aboti 30 mile away. That was the longest shaking I had felt, about 20-30 seconds.

boyst Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 That's pretty good! The wife was satisfied with that? I normally wake up with a 6, maybe 6.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say how long because to me it seemed like hours. I have read it was a minute. Like I say the worst part was it kept getting stronger and stronger. Never been though one that did that.

Jim in Anchorage Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Stay safe Funny you would use the emoticon, As soon as it was over I rushed to the liquor store to buy beer. Employees busy picking up booze bottles that had fallen off the shelves to the floor but the beer was safe and cozy in the cooler.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yet. Friggin fracking! It is why we have the Bills in BFLO? Pegula made his money by cracking in on the fracking frenzy? Sorry for the bad puns... ;-) Correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 We were living in Seattle for a 6.8. It was 3/1/01, in the AM, so we were both home. Wife said what the f**k is that? I told her it's either an earthquake or the Great Northern is running a Hudson locomotive down the driveway and into the garage! Fortunately, no damage to the house. Some damage downtown, but considering 6.8, not as bad as I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
