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....

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?

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.

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."

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.
