Tim240z Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 No details yet on the size, but my building at work (on rollers) shook for a good 20 seconds. OH just heard it was 6-6.5 on the richter scale, centered in San Simeon, CA. Very unsettling to say the least. I feel 'sea sick' now. http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Sh!t. I used to live in Los Osos, which is right next to Morro Bay. Phone lines are down apparently. I hope all my friends are OK... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 6.5 on the scale, up near Cambria and San Simeon... nearly 200 miles from LA. Everyone around me felt it, I was outside working on the Z at the time, as a matter of fact... and didn't feel a think. Goes to show how our cars can take up all our attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Glad you are all ok! SO how much does a 1000sqft hose go for out there? You guys in CA should sell you places, move to the midwest and you could have 10 z's! And a huge shop! I know the weather is nice but sheesh, I wouldn't want to get swalloed by mother earth for any amount of sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I felt it all the way up here in San Jose. I just woke up and it got me a little sea sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Well, so far everyone in Los Osos is OK. Los Osos is built on beach sand, which isn't the best idea but apparently it took the shock out of the quake, which is kinda backwards. They're all saying it was a strong rolling, where people in Paso Robles felt a sudden jolt. Haven't heard from any of my mechanic friends. I always dreaded the thought of being under a car on a lift when an earthquake hit... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Shasteen Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hope everyone's okay. Unfortunately earthquakes dont even get mentioned these days unless they hit 6.0 or higher. Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 I've never been in an earthquake, good ol aus. But its funny calling it sea sick, it should be called quakesick I'm not a CA native, so this whole earthquake thing is really strange to me!! Feels kinda like being in a train carriage while it's rolling/swaying down the tracks....most strange....also kinda wierd not being able to trust good ol' 'terra firma'.....or in this case: 'terra non-firma'!

Chaparral2f Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Tim, Glad to hear that you came through the shaker OK. Guess it was really bad in Paso Robles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 BillZ260, I used to live in Sand Springs. I'd rather put up with a quake than a tornado. My house might fall down in an earthquake, but it will still be on my property, or at least in the same county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Tim, Glad to hear that you came through the shaker OK. Guess it was really bad in Paso Robles. it was the worst over there because the old buildings downtown are non- reinforced masonry. not exactly quake safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I thought it was the Turbomeister doing a peel-out with in twin turbo 383. He drives much too fast for a man his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I've never been in an earthquake, good ol aus. But its funny calling it sea sick, it should be called quakesick Actually I think it would be groundsick. I didnt hear about the quake at all until I got to work (I work in claims). Any deaths or major injuries? Quakes scare the crap out of me, I was supposed to be in SF when they had that big old quake that took out the bay bridge. I was wondering if something was going on down there, I was trying to open apache.org and it was down all day, figured something must have been going on if the Apache site was down!

BillZ260 Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Chaparral2f I suppose it is all in your perspective, There is no real safe place to live, mother nature will always have something exciting for you. I don't know if it is because I have grown up here or the fact that I have never been in close contact with a Tornado, but they don't really scare me, even though the damage you see them do is tremendous! But I can go outside in the spring time and tell you when they are coming, you can smell/sence them. Is there anything that lets you all know a 'rumble' is comming?

Chaparral2f Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Bob, I know that mother nature will get you where ever you live. When I was moving back to Oregon I must have heard that statement a thousand times. So I just thought that I'd toss in my standard answer from then. I really liked Tulsa and if I didn't live here, That would be my first choice. There are places in Washington State where road signs that say "Tsuami Eveauation Route" and directly under it another. "Volcano Evacuation Route". Makes me glad that all I have to endure are forest fires, and the occasional Californian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
