I drove that road from LV to Reno plenty of times. They have some crazy brothels out there in the middle of nowhere. I'm imagining some dude getting busy in there when the Quake hits and the ho saying, "I told you I was going to rock your world". There goes another satisfied customer with a story.

Can't blame fracking 70 yrs ago. But they will here. If they frack there even. They'll blame it anyway.

Just like last year Paris hit 100 degrees. First time in 100 yrs....OK...................
We had global warming 100 yrs ago too......OK....................

It caused Highway 95 to crack open in 3 places. 95 repaired and back open.

I've always wanted to experience an earthquake.
I've got hurricanes,wildfires and tornadoes covered.

I have all of the above PLUS. The largest quake I've had was a 7.6 on 2012. Fun stuff ! The house was no problem but walking was "interesting". My gardener hung onto a tree and said the ground was like ocean waves. I was inside so missed that bit but it was a rollin !

Speaking of volcanoes.... Has anyone looked at the one at the end of that fault line?

Long Valley is a super volcano and its currently in the yellow. Seems that the shaking has some nerves rattled.

Its looking like the whole volcanic network was rattled.

I was literally on top of the epicenter of the Northridge quake in '94... the epicenter wasn't in Northridge.


What a ride...

While I understand the richter scale I have nothing to base it on never having experienced even a small one.
Kinda one of those....I want it to be a good one....but not to good.

Be careful what you wish for. I lived in California for 5 years back when. There's a lot of paranoia in and around earthquake season, which is wherever mother nature feels like a good shakeup is needed wherever she picks. Some are hospitalized with fright after a 5-point Richter scale quake.
