Several things about this quake, and why we west coasters should NOT make fun
1.- The SUBSTRATE is ancient rock... so it rings like the proverbial bell... and it is felt quite further away from the epicenter than it would in places like San Diego... which is far much newer, aka younger rock.
2.- The west coast has this thing called Building Codes... we more or less build for this shit and for the most part can laugh it up when it is a six pointer... now a seven pointer Mexico City laughs we don't.
3.- This is quite the new thing for a lot of folks in the East coast.
Now to the East coasties... let me reach for that disaster manager hat.
Realize that there are a few things that can get affected even with a six pointer, even in San Diego... water mains come to mind. So for the next few days... consider getting bottled water. THis is a little into how you build these things, but your main water main, potable water, runs side by side to your waste water... and at times they get cracked and it mixes.
Also check your house for obvious cracks. If you find any.. chances are it is not structural, still have it checked by an engineer. Be ready for after shocks.

1. Good points, all of them...
I suspect they react to an earthquake much the way we would if we were confronted by a hurricane or cyclone.
It's scary and unusual...
Vibes to all east coast folks!
I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of people on the East Coats don't want, or need your vibes. Let alone anything else from you. Gross....

Didn't take her long did it? :rotf:
Don't worry nads I have plenty of canned and powdered milk and the sub Capitan is on speed dial.

Why do people like Nutcase Nadin feel compelled to render their "expert" opinion on ****ing everything? I don't know shit about earthquakes and won't pretend to, I've lived in the Central time zone for all my life, nowhere near a a coast. Lots of other things I don't know either. What kind of psychological term would one place on this bitch?
-
Not this shit again.
-
And other threads, they blame republicans and the ever popular earthquake machine.

3.- This is quite the new thing for a lot of folks in the East coast.
No it's not.
I hate people who have the mentality that earthquakes only happen in California. Of course earthquakes in California are more common than any place else in the United States. I remember earthquakes while living in Wisconsin. They were rare and "light" in shaking but you could still feel them.
Nadin, try to be less stupid.

It's okay, DUmmie, I've still got plenty of canned and powdered milk left over from the melt down.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It fits her to a tee.
A person with narcissistic personality disorder may:
React to criticism with rage, shame, or humiliation
Take advantage of other people to achieve his or her own goals
Have excessive feelings of self-importance
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, beauty, intelligence, or ideal love
Have unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment
Need constant attention and admiration
Disregard the feelings of others, and have little ability to feel empathy
Have obsessive self-interest
Pursue mainly selfish goals

Ahem...newsflash, nads--you live in ****ing SAN DIEGO, not along the San Andreas or in Gay Bay. As someone who has lived in SoCal (LA and SD), let me tell you right now, if Paul Moyer was still reading the news, he'd be on KNBC, shitting his pants just the same as when ya'll get three DROPS of rain in November and you go to the "STORM WATCH 2011!!!" and put Gordon Tokamatsu out somewhere because secretly ya'll hate his ass. I know you mouth-breathers love Moyer because he did pseudo-documentaries on chemtrails, but it's also the same reason Kevin and Bean sent him a bucket of KFC in the hospital after he had heart surgery.
Do us a favor, and quit repeating what you heard from that chick at CalTech, aka, "Seismo-Dyke."
Oh, and when you've been through an 8+ quake, call me. (Guam 1992).

I think that the earthquake created enough vibes for the people of the east coast.

I want an earthquake to hit San Diego right now. It needs to be big enough to knock out internet access within 200 miles.

:panic: :panic: :panic: OH NO!... MUST...CALL...NADIN.... :panic: :panic: :panic:
Been through many quakes...tornadoes...hurricanes...don't know how I managed it without Nadin.

We need to add seismologist to her expertise list.

That's a little unfair, is it not, Jess? That's somewhat like asking a dog not to lick it's balls.

She's already a seismic event.

She reached Platinum level about three apocalypses ago.

Actually, in my experience with the military personnel system, that seems to be covered by a diagnosis of "Personality Disorder."

To all you trash-talking West-Coasters with your earthquake savvy:
Take your next earthquake in an all-brick office building without your fancy West-Coast earthquake-proof building codes, and then you can talk.
Sincerely,

More seriously, East Coast DUers, check your local news
for the town fathers checking out bridges and tunnels. I hope you don't have aftershocks because they can be as upsetting as the initial quake. But taking a minute to check out damage along your commute route might not be a bad idea.

no time to make threads but the "town fathers"??? Yes, stupid indeed.

Well at least she didn't use Google for all of it.
I turned on CNN right after it happened and the bold part is almost word for word what they said.

Did you hear that nadin? According to ScubaGuy even CNN is taking heed of your brilliance.
First you saved us all from dying a radioactive death. Now you're saving the entire east coast from an earthquake. Two thumbs up.
I just thought about it, but you may be the one that saved the east coast from Hurricane Irene. The last I checked it was heading to Florida. Now it appears to be turning out to sea. Irene must have heard that you had put on your disaster manager hat.
You've sure got a lot of hats. How do you keep up with them all?

Nadin can't possibly be a seismologist - she would never be able to spell that word correctly with any consistency.
Now a sizemologist.. that would be more her style. or better yet a sizemologyst, as it is properly spelled in English Feminine.

She reminds me of an overexuberant school teacher.
Nadine(in a high pitched voice): Now kiddies , today we are going to learn about earthquakes. Can you say earthquakes?
Little voices: earthquakes
Nadine: goooooood!! Now eastcoasters.........blah, blah, blah
Nadine........:foff:

I'm laughing my ass off because I predicted Nadine was already spouting this exact line. My co-workers are rather amused by the ant farm that is DU.

It's truly unfortunate that we have to continually highlight an arrogant ass like know-it-all nadin, but what choice do we have?
The rest of the DUmbasses are deadly boring...Vinnie, kpete, Sarah Imaboobi, Anne Pritchett...all as entertaining as an evening with Josef Stalin.
Please, please, Pammie, Mrs. Packer, gayboy forkboy, TwixVoy, phony soldier DUmotex (the .22 cal. tank killer), TiTtyboy, UGP, bobo the hobo, please, you guys, come home, all is forgiven.

I know, I know, but this nadinostradamus thread seemed to attract both a lot of views and comments, which is why I zipped it to the top; it's been very popular.
However, I'm starting to think about (please notice "think about" does not mean the same thing as "actually do") breaking my prohibition against "stickying" my own threads (other than important announcements and polls) so as to boost, to promote, my fellow Nebraskan for top DUmmie of 2011.
Omaha Steve hasn't been receptive to my proposal to be his campaign manager, and as you know, sir, I take rejection rather badly. I refuse to accept rejection.
And so I've named myself my fellow Nebraskan's emeritus or honorary campaign manager.
I'm going to do my professional best to promote him, publicize him, boost him, for all the world to see, in any way I can, including in the DUmpster.

Well, that's great! Now we'll see if know-it-all nadin can rise to the occasion. Actually, I have no doubt she can.
At the DUmp she's a force of nature, like a swarm of locusts, or a dysentery epidemic.
DUmbass Omaha Steve, on the other hand, is a fat, wimpy, boring parasite. He's never made a memorable post. He's not as useless as Vinnie, but it's close.
So his hopes for a DOTY depend almost entirely on a strong fourth quarter campaign, a campaign much stronger than he could ever mount without help.
His disability storyline has some potential, but he'd do much better if he could bring in his bizarre hobby of travelling all over the country, buying autographs from hopelessly obscure actors who last worked in 1960s and 70s TV series.
His naive, almost infantile, political ambitions could become a very strong storyline, but will require a lot of help due to his severely limited writing ability.
He's a boring, boring, DUmb man, but a well-orchestrated campaign can work wonders, as Anne Pritchett can attest.
The remainder of 2011 could be interesting, if at least a couple more really wild moonbats get it in gear. So far, it's been pretty grim.
