Title: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: javabug on August 23, 2011, 20:08:32 pm Because the east coast just had one. Originated near Richmond, VA (5.8 on the scale) and easily felt many miles to the north here in central Pennsylvania, and beyond. VERY unusual feeling for the area.

Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: javabug on August 24, 2011, 01:49:46 am Glad it wasn't any worse for everybody. Did some quick reading and the differences in west and east seismology are interesting.
Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: Rennsurfer on August 24, 2011, 02:13:23 am Hey, Mike... since your east coast cars have been Cal Looked, you can fully say that you're Cal Look, now. Welcome to California.

Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: Rennsurfer on August 24, 2011, 02:53:52 am Be not shy, John... share your inner-most feelings with the group.
;D Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: stealth67vw on August 24, 2011, 02:58:55 am My family is from the southeast US. They always say they would never live on the west coast because we have earthquakes. They say they would take a tornado any day ::)
Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: javabug on August 24, 2011, 03:10:50 am I was hoping to be considered fully Cal-look now!
Bates is right — getting a little bit of everything this year. As for earthquakes vs. other natural disasters, if you can no longer trust the very ground you walk on, what's left??? Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: johnl on August 24, 2011, 04:58:18 am So, the east finally got the "E Ticket Ride" :o :o Here in SoCal one almost gets use to this stuff. You know, Jerry Leiber died yesterday and maybe he was telling us something. For those of you who don't know who he was he and his partner wrote many, many classic Rock & Roll songs. Don't you think that was appropriate?? ::)

No thanks... I hope I never see a tornado or hurricane. Grew up on earthquakes. Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: Rick Meredith on August 24, 2011, 06:49:49 am Heck a 5.9 is barely enough to make me stop drinking my latte :D
And Mark when I worked at the BAP/Geon store in Santa Ana, a tornado blasted up Main St. It took off the roof and sign from the appliance store across the street. I'm sure it was minor by Midwest standards though. Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: Rennsurfer on August 24, 2011, 06:51:50 am Yeah, let's hope that we never deal with that mid-west weather, here. We're professional earthquake riders, but are NOT trained in the ways of that other scary stuff.

It was noisy/windy, but livable in the 100 deg+ summer. I even have one out on my patio, along with the ceiling fans. Title: Re: Are earthquakes Cal-look? Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 25, 2011, 00:56:04 am I know all about swap coolers ;) We run one all summer long at my current shop (Prescott, AZ), but at the moment it's raining cats and dogs so it's about as useful as tits on a warthog ;)
At the moment I'm more concerned with keeping my car locked up! |
