      I sometimes feel quakes in Nevada if they are close enough. I didn't feel anything.

      I think this was closer to San Fransisco than LA. So no way would I feel it.

            6.5 they are saying now.

            They are saying it is close to LA now. I usually can't tell unless the quake is east of LA- this may have been North.

                They've upped it to a 6.5 on the Richter scale ... epicenter 7 miles from San Simeon.

                I didn't feel anything. Then again, I'm in the Upper Midwest, in the middle of the North American tectonic plate.

                    It struck 35 miles North of San Luis Obisbo. That is about 250 miles from here, if I recon correctly. Still, is was really rolling here.

                        I wonder when the aftershocks will begin? Hopefully they won't be too severe ... but then again, sometimes they're worse than the original quake itself.

                          Perhaps it is a harbinger of things to come...

                          Or perhaps it is merely flatus tectonics - a little gas disguised as a heart attack.

                          We've had cleansing fires in San Diego and a quake in SLO - should be be prepared for some plagues of pestilence? I just want to know if I should ask for duct tape and plastic sheets for Xmas.

                            Actually, quakes like this are supposed to good in the long run, because it's thought that they allow the earth to let off a little "steam," which, in turn, prevents or delays the "Big One."
