I live near fault lines and I am surrounded by dormant volcanoes. I fart in the general direction of your sissy EQ.

I slept through it. Again. They always seem to be in the early morning. There has only been one Midwest earthquake that I have felt. It actually woke me up. I thought it was a cat jumping on the bed.

Missouri and Illinois are 'southern' states? Subtard may want to take a look at this map:

We get tornadoes, too. We just don't have a season for them

Ha ha, yeah, I bet you get "tornadoes". How often does that happen? One, two times a year? You're adorable. Come to Tennessee in April and we'll show you some tornadoes. Or go visit Oklahoma for awhile.

I didn't know Alaska was the furthest state south.

We annexed a(nother) portion of Mexico.

I pull a muscle laughing anytime it drizzles on the west coast.

It's a mercator projection, has a tendency to distort

Hope the cornfields aren't damaged.

These threads always crack me up. Folks talk up their natural disasters like that punk we knew in high school who lived in the Bronx for 2 months. I come from Mordor, biatch.

California, where two inches of rain in six hours is viewed as the End of Days.

You average a whole 4 per year, over one of the biggest states in the country. There are counties that get 4 per year.

Good for you?

I'll never understand people being proud of living in a state/region that has shiatty weather.

The Mason-Dixon line is at the bottom of Pennsylvania, FFS. Most of the east coast wants to be Southern. Kentucky? Southern? Tennessee? My Ass.

//4/0 really? stirred yer Mint Julip?

Javacrucian: What a 4.0 might look like

[img.photobucket.com image 100x75]

Bullshiat, sir. That's only a 4 if you look at one half at a time.

Donnchadha: Also -- you can feel a 4.0? Anybody who said they did is either a) living right over the epicenter and was laying prone at the exact moment, or b) lying.

Nonsense. We had a 2.7 in VA on the 19th and people near me (40 miles away) felt it. East coast earthquakes can be felt at a greater distance than west coast ones. Hence why a 5.8 in Virginia can be felt in New York.

Donnchadha: Also -- you can feel a 4.0? Anybody who said they did is either a) living right over the epicenter and was laying prone at the exact moment,

3:58 AM. Sounds like they were probably laying prone.

Wellon Dowd: California, where two inches of rain in six hours is viewed as the End of Days.

Yeah...there is that. The news stations practically cream their collective shorts every time there's even a hint of rain. "FINALLY! An excuse to use our Hyper MEGA-Doppler 80-brazillian weather tracking system". Then they go to the map and it's a tiny little blip of green slowly moving across Ventura County. Thanks for the warning guys. Glad you spent so much money on an advanced weather tracker in a region where the forecast is almost always "72 and sunny".

Then there's the drivers. It's like the tards on the road here think they can drive as fast as they do on a dry road even when it's under a half inch of water.

Spade: Donnchadha: Also -- you can feel a 4.0? Anybody who said they did is either a) living right over the epicenter and was laying prone at the exact moment, or b) lying.

That's cause, like most things east of the Rockies, they're shallow; 3 mile depth...DC can't touch this.

GAT_00: Fark you, we don't claim Illinois. And let's see those same Californians freak the fark out over a tornado.

Californians are smart enough to generally not build their homes in the easily-predictable path of commonly occurring natural disasters (year after year after year). When they do, out of necessity, build where disasters are likely to occur, they usually use materials and construction methods a bit stronger than duct tape, corrugated sheet metal, and loosely-piled cinder blocks.

So, the typical Californian would not need to "freak the fark out over a tornado" even if they did occur more often.

/not Californian but doesn't care for the Southern macho b.s. attitude

That and the geological make up of the East coast means the forces are able to travel farther, not just the depth.

So how come Dorothy and Toto were left out of this one? It seems that Kansas would be closer than Alabama.

/must be the way the fault lines run

//also might explain why effects are felt farther away

/// +1 for the lawn chair pic, I always get a kick out of that one

Donnchadha Also -- you can feel a 4.0? Anybody who said they did is either a) living right over the epicenter and was laying prone at the exact moment, or b) lying. When I was 10 years old, we had a 4.0 in the NY metro area at around 6 a.m. on a Saturday. We were not directly on the epicenter, but I was lying down. I felt it, it woke me up. My brother slept through it. I suspect it was because we had a bunk bed and I was on the top bunk, which would have magnified the shaking.

Congratulations, you win the 'Everyone Saw This Coming' award!

Also gonna note that out east, buildings here aren't built with earthquakes in mind. Some of them are a couple hundred years old as well. Sure, it might be a 4.0 or less, but if a few tons of masonry comes crashing down on you, you don't care what farking number they labelled it with.

[Not this shiat again.jpg]

Almost exactly 6 months to the day West Coasties made fun of the East Coasties for experiencing the first quake some of them have felt in their lives? You CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT.

Why do people revel in the hardships associated with where they live?

Is it a "look how tough I am, we have ______" or "look how foolish I am, I willingly live where we have _______"

At any rate, the people of Pompeii laugh at all of you.

/nothing in the slashies today

Shook.

Along the same lines as "Hold my beer and watch this!"

In Deleware they sell shirts about how they survied an earthquake tornado and hurricane all in the same week. I was thinking about getting one for my dad. But he was out on the water when the quake hit.

You'd herniate yourself in the Pacific NW.

Yeah, those Californians are pretty smart....

/and since when do tornadoes have an "easily predictable path"?

Mr. Browning has a prediction.
