Ok, so, we just had an earthquake here in Trinidad. [Beer] Did anyone else in the neighboring area feel it? All of my neighbors went outside to find out what happened. That was kinda weird, first one I have ever felt.

Were you home while this happened?[ROFL1]Quote:

Outstanding volley gents![Beer]
Play on-
BOT- want to see something scary? Look at a USGS fault map of Colorado, it looks like a broken windshield. Unbelievable amount of faults run through our state, something on the order of 10,000 IIRC. One of the geologists at work said one of the most capable of serious damage and overdue to move is the Dakota fault. You know, the same one that makes up Dakota Ridge- the hogback just west of Denver.
Nice
Let us just say that unlike the most of you all, I didn't have a Dusty Johnson this morning.Quote:

Sorry for the derail, on with the banter...

Every time I look at our mountains I wonder about the seismic forces that made 'em heave up in the first place. Especially the Front Range. I sure don't want to be around for the next time!
Is that some kind of omelet?Quote:

and no i don't want to have another one like they used to have around here.
I slept through the northridge quake, I'm not so worried.
Well I'm glad you didn't have a dusty johnson this morning. If you float that way, more power to you. So anyway, does that mean that you weren't there for the earth shaking then? [ROFL1]Quote:

Well shit man, if you have time, let me know! Oh, and bring the Ferrari too. [Coffee]
Yeah, we also are in Trinidad and the wife felt it too. Apparently I was happily dozing in my recliner about three feet from the Mrs., and did not feel even one tiny tremor.
I attempted to make this post around 6:30 this evening but the internet was down and out here in Trinidad.

All of the panneling is slightly loose so when it shakes, it sounds like someone is hitting the fucking walls all around you. [Mad] Ok, time to calm down the kids and go back to bed now...
About 10 minutes ago (~1155) something sorta shook me house (not bad, but I'm by the front window and it rattled enough to scare my cat [and me]...I went outside to see who was screwing with my house).
Well at least you felt it. The first time today when it happened I thought someone was backing a big truck into the side of my house. I didn't think for a second that it was something natural like that. I grabbed my 1911 and headed for the door. I put it down as soon as I saw the other neighbors standing out in the street wondering what the hell was going on also. Damn ginsue, I thought you would have given me a little warning about shit like this happening here![Beer][ROFL1]

i felt this second one, was kinda confused as to what happened now i know...thanks guys
The wife and I felt two tonight, the second one was way stronger and lasted longer, lol...huh huh huh...longer....huh huh
Pretty cool.
I guess from what I have been reading, it was the third one in the last 24 hours and the worst at a 5.5. The first one was a 2.9 just before 8 in the morning (which we didn't feel), the second at 5:30 was a 4.6 which we did feel, and of course the one that dropped the damn fan on my head was a 5.5. What the friggen hell?Quote:

Because I DIDN'T!). Of course, I have a .45 just inside the door!
Theres been 4 in the last 24 hours, Ive felt two of them so far being in Trinidad. Found this site.
