"The authorities continued to look for people buried in the rubble of collapsed and burned buildings in the coastal epicenter of the disaster." Last edited by Esteban; 01-02-2024 at 03:13 PM.. |

The scariest quake for me was the Sylmar quake in 1971. Was a magnitude 6.6 and was at around 6am. Just turned 16yo and lived in L.A. in an upstairs apartment with my family. The whole building started shaking violently. I was asleep with my cat in my room and I woke up and ran outside in my underwear with my cat under my arm. Will never forget it. At least 58 people died.

Other earthquakes I remember were the Whittier earthquake in 1987, which was a magnitude 5.9 and killed 8 people and caused 200 injuries.
Another one was the Northridge earthquake in 1994 - magnitude 6.7, 57 died. Was living in my current home. They say the big one is still to come. Last edited by Esteban; 01-17-2024 at 06:19 PM.. |

I pray for the ppl in Japan. I recall the Landers (7.3) and Big Bear (6.5) quakes of June 1992. Lived in Orange County and watched the water sloshing out of my pool. Moved to the Midwest shortly thereafter. Don’t miss the CA quakes, fires, floods, mudslides, riots, traffic, politics, and so on, at all.

The Oregon coast is overdue for a major earthquake and the resulting tsunami. The last one was in 1700 and the geologists say the pattern is one every 300 years or so. The cause is the Cascadia tectonic plate sliding under the North American plate and "catching" -- then every 300 years or so, it releases like a spring with deadly consequences.
Native Americans did not have good records of the date, but the last one's tsunami reached Japan and they had good records. In recent years, highway 101 along the coast has been posted with signs indicating where the elevation is such that it is a tsunami safe zone. There are no large cities along the Oregon coast, but coastal resorts and beaches are crowded in the summer. There's a coastal mountain range between the coast and my place, but the earthquake portion could be quite powerful and may have impact here.

The worst for me was Easter Sunday, 2009. I was at the beach in Del Mar, having my cervezas when all of a sudden there was a grumbling from the cliff above me. I hopped up and ran to the water. When I came back, I found my cell phone smashed by a boulder that had come down the hill. I was just sitting there. Scary stuff. |

I was working nearby and immediately left work and went to her school. She was okay and the class had evacuated to a safe location. You always worry about your family more than yourself, especially your kids. |

Funny part of the story - when we finally got to Narita airport they refunded a big portion of the ticket price because the train was delayed. ![]()

New details. Seems the coast guard plane did not have permission to enter the runway. Tower said "Taxi to holding point". Coast guard plane confirmed "taxi to holding point". Seems like 2 minutes later they entered the runway and the collision.

Small earthquake where I live today at around 11am. Magnitude 4.2. *yawn*
It was so mild I thought it was my wife letting the door that goes to the garage slam. |
