Knicks not playing team ball at all, but I guess that's summer league.
I had the same thought. Maybe at the next time out, remind them that the rules permit this thing called "passing." And there may be teammates who are "open."
foreshock. Aftershocks are not larger than the main quake
This. Even the local news people here don't seem to know that. Downgraded to 6.9, which is still pretty damn big. Considering that a 7 is 10x a 6, the difference between a 6.4 yesterday and a 6.9 today is pretty big.

And it was a little tremor a few years ago in NYC.
Can't imagine you West Coasters having to deal with it on a somewhat regular basis...and wildfires, too.
After sitting in my last house in pitch black in the middle of the night as my phone was sending off emergency signals, with the windows covered hearing winds of a hurricane (and later seeing that a tornado likely whipped down our street) I'd rather deal with an earthquake...

It's not that regular. 15 years in LA, no more than 10 that I felt? And of course those were all small. In that sense, WCers are baffled how people live in the snow, and that is an issue multiple times a year. I'd dare to say you're more likely to get in a car accident in the winter than injured in an LA quake (on avg!)
But clearly I'm about to go thru my first big one, we're due
Actually Albany had a few in the 4.0-5.0 range growing up. I felt one, but most were early AM and I slept through

Well, I've been through a few of them. A really big one is scary in its own right, but what really is unnerving is that aftershocks come almost continuously for a while. And after Northridge, I learned the worst word in the English language: "foreshock." As in, that could be a foreshock of a bigger quake. I remember yelling FORESHOCK????!!!
When they start, you don't know how big they're going to be. So you have that moment of "Oh shit, now what?" Then sometimes they get bigger, and sometimes they don't. This one started like "Oh, there's another one." And about 10 seconds later it was "Uh-oh." But it never got really bad. 100+ miles from the epicenter.

The scary part is that this one would be a foreshock as well if another quake larger than this occurred. That's pretty unlikely, but not impossible. A 6.4 and 6.9 on consecutive days would release a LOT of built up seismic energy along the same fault system
I had fam that lived in Nevis (next to St Kitts, Antigua). They talked about boarding up the house, dealing with no power, and holing up every year, sometimes a few times

And the thing with hurricanes is that they're not exactly quick. I mean that one specifically at 3 in the morning, your sitting there for hours. Some could say "well you could have evacuated," and if we tried to go north, good luck. If we had gone west, the storm was even worse there. Hurricanes are scary shit if you get hit straight on and they're so unpredictable
The rest of the games tonight in Thomas and Mack are postponed Â
Depends on the storm and the quake, and where you are. If you are near the ocean you never want to experience anything like the Japan quake and tsunami, that's one of the worst things you could go through.
The thing about a big earthquake is there's basically no warning and there's no such thing as an earthquake shelter. Your building either stands up to it or not. Your stuff is either secured or it isn't. Your walls crack or they don't.
There's a new ShakeAlertLA app that is supposed to go off and give us a little warning if there's a big (bigger than 3) quake centered in Los Angeles. It hasn't gone off because they say that the tremors locally weren't big enough. So they say it's working. But: How would we know if it wasn't?
Hey there Mrs Fiz...
Barrett needs to shoot a lot better to be effective. At least he’s not shy.
What Knox needs to do once the real games start...and what disappeared mostly from his first SL stint
Knox on queue with a strong move in the paint
And a KNOX DUNK from RJ
Not many, and few at 250+ I bet
Awful game from him. There will be better ones, but poor showing from him. Same with Iggy.
This Wooten kid is really active
That would have been classic.
yeah, she's being pretty open about that!
I'm no Zion but my first quake, I was sitting on a top bunk and jumped off it started RIGHT then, i really was like "WTF, freshman 15 already"
And you could tell all the SoCalers in the room because they were calm, almost everyone else was freaking out
"Zion's not playing, what more is there for me to say?"
So how does this count against the standings and the Knicks chances of winning the league? /s
They're playing next door!
That's what I think. But looks like the show may go on.
This announcer is basically begging to get out of the building.

"there is no time limit on when it stops swaying, so we're still waiting on the swaying to stop. This are also swaying at Loyola Marymount"
