My quake welcome to California ...

Manny in CA : 2/9/2024 8:49 pm

Got stationed here in the AF on this day, in 1971 (the day of the San Fernando 6.5 Earth quake @ 6:00 AM). My anniversary was appropriately celebrated by Mother Nature with a 4.6 quake @ 1:43PM centered in Malibu, this afternoon.

I was sleeping that morning in a barracks bunk, when the quake hit. It bounced the bunk clean across the room with me on it.

The barracks was a large 3 story building. I was on the 3rd floor. Right after the quake hit, I could hear a guy running the hall back-and-forth screaming "We're gonna die, we're all gonna die !" (It was my misfortune to become acquainted with this guy later, a real "goof-ball") !

We had a 5.7 here on the big island of Hawaii today. One of several hundred each day recently. Takes the pressure off of possible big one.

Thank goodness for us your sense of humor survived...

They have a "fault" in the Los Angeles area called "Daniel Jones"

Kidding, LOL.

I wonder what California is going to look like in fifty years if the faults shift dramatically.

Scary.
