Noos srez 6.erfcsake near Wells Nevada. Any Rpca ner ther? TuTu > Noos srez 6.erfcsake near Wells Nevada. Any Rpca ner ther? TuTu There isn't much of anything near Wells Nevada. A 6.0 is pretty big and Wells is way east of the usual fault lines. Wonder if it shook Reno? Guess I should be watching the new a little bit. We are a days drive west of that. Jo > Noos srez 6.erfcsake near Wells Nevada. Any Rpca ner ther? TuTu TuTu, sweetie, we are sending you calming purrs for you, your Mommy, AND your local topography. >> Noos srez 6.erfcsake near Wells Nevada. Any Rpca ner ther? TuTu > > TuTu, sweetie, we are sending you calming purrs for you, your Mommy, AND > your local topography. TuTu says thanks. She awakened me about 6;15 AM but I didn't feel anything and was unaware until I saw it on the news. The house creeks a lot lately but I attribute it to the very cold weather.

He was at work on the 6th floor and it really shook that (brand NEW) building. MLB >>>> Noos srez 6.erfcsake near Wells Nevada. Any Rpca ner ther?

MLB Engineering guidelines for earthquake safe buildings allow then to sway without breaking. Unfortunately humans haven't been reengineered to accept rocking buildings with anything approaching calm. You know it was a good hard quake when it rocked things from Salt Lake to Reno. Jo Ever been in a strong earthquake?? I have, a 6.8 in Feb, 1991, in the Renton area. I was in the kitchen, DH was watching sumptin on da big skreen TV, heavy roadwork was being done outside so the house was sorta shaking anyway but then THIS happened: this too scared the contents of the litterbox outa me I'll tell ya. The guys doing the roadwork never even felt it! Looky here: Strong Quake Rattles Seattle, Buildings Emptied 2-28-2001 updated 4-20-2001 250 injuries - no deaths attributed to the quake A strong earthquake measuring 6.8 in magnitude and lasting about 45 seconds rocked Seattle on February 28, knocking chunks of masonry from skyscrapers and forcing thousands to flee their homes, schools and offices.

PURRS Kyla --and Clowder > Ever been in a strong earthquake?? I have, a 6.8 in Feb, > 1991, in the Renton area... The UK had an erfcake! 5.3, the strongest since 1984. Only one injury known so far. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm  SignatureMatSav > The UK had an erfcake! 5.3, the strongest since 1984. Only one injury > known so far. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm Husband & I were woken by it, even though we are *miles* from the epicentre. Waffles remained stuck to me, limpit-like, for the remainder of the night. The boy cats were utterly unfazed by it. Low but loud rumbles, shaking & noise from stuff in house moving. I immediately turned the TV on to see if there was any news as I wondered if it was another Buncefield - as the noise from that explosion woke me in a similar fashion.

PURRS and prayers Kyla > Did you sustain any damage? Are you okay??? > PURRS and prayers > Kyla We're fine, thanks. The magnitude of the quake was low and we're far enough away for it not to cause anything other than sleep disturbance and minor excitement :) "wafflycat" <> >> Did you sustain any damage?
