Much damaged around there?I’m sure in reality it probably only lasted 20-30 seconds, but it felt like a minute plus...like it just wouldn’t stop. And it felt more like a rolling sensation than a shaking.
Anyway, this was the first time in my life I got a little freaked out by something like this.
Luckily, no damage to anything of ours, personally; and I haven't heard of any damage in my area. But I live about 120 miles from the epicenter.Much damaged around there?
I hear that a lot. I was listening to some folks from CalTech the other day, and they were saying the most recent activity was on a completely different fault than the San Andreas, which is closer to the coast and the fault line that scare most people out here. I think that's what's scaring most people when they refer to the "big one."Big one is coming. Scientific fact, simply a question of when and how big.
I heard it’s roughly a 2% chance of happening any given year.
