Live video of them talking about it (exciting!!)

But there's no real articles about it right now. It's still going on right now, and that sucks. I can't think of much to say. Hope no members here are in it (or any family members).


That's a pretty big earthquake...

5.8 isn't actually very big. There's been no damage or injuries reported. Plus, the LA area gets earthquakes quite frequently. heh nice try

 i mean obviously it's good news that there are no injuries to report but

you know the news story isn't that significant when the photograph going along with the news story is PEOPLE ON THEIR CELL PHONES OUTSIDE oh my

I was in an earthquake once!

yeah i was watching the news and they had a telephone interview with some guy in los angeles

Reporter: Sir, can you tell us what you can see out the window?
Man: Well, it looks like people are going on about their day. There's a lot of people talking on their cell phones.
Reporter: Oh, of course. I would imagine.



edit: woah tell us coachfend

yeah, it wasn't really bad or anything. my house shook fairly violently for roughly 3 seconds and then nothing else happened!

nah, that's for WEIRD and DUMB news. This is fine where it is, it's just the OP didn't/doesn't seem to know that the quake was relatively tame.

haha CNN's main photo for the story is now SMOG COVERING THE CITY SKYLINE

oh cool we got someone who lives there! hey ric i'm guessing you've been through other earthquakes too? anything major?

well i mean i hadn't payed much attention to the news, i just posted it.

also, apparently looking up the richter scale doesn't help because it classifies high-end 5's as "damaging well-constructed buildings etc etc" so i thought it would actually hurt stuff! apparently not.

>7 or suck my d*ck.

most of the time I'm asleep when earthquakes happen! I live pretty far away from where the sources are, so usually the effects aren't very severe.

i was in a 4.5 earthquake in la when i was like 11 but i didnt even know it happened until somebody came into the room and was like omg are you okay that was a pretty crazy earthquake!!!

maybe i am genetically predisposed to earthquake immunity like people who can roll tacos with their tongues

Earlier on in the year we had an Earthquake in England (which is very uncommon), where I live was like... 20 miles from the epicenter. Though not as large as this one (though it could be felt more or less everywhere in England) the difference wasn't all that big. But most people didn't even notice it (late at night, sleeping), those that did just didn't care and went back to sleep.

No offence or anything, but anyone who was even bothered by an earthquake of this size (which is basically a little bit more than a loud fart) must be a real fucking pansy. Lets just hope someone doesn't slam your front door too hard and scare you to death because you confused it for the end of the world or something stupid like that!

speaking of natural disasters there aren't any hurricanes this year and I was looking forward to seeing a big ass one before I leave

hey guy just dropping in to let you know you're dumb, well cya

I think when the ground starts shaking people will react and assume that it will be bad. It's better to assume the worst and respond than it is to assume that nothing bad is happening in an actual emergency.

But hey good on you if you're such an internet badass

My grandma said that it felt like one hundred elephants pounding on her roof for thirty seconds.
Yeah, she is a real fucking pansy.

I was in an earthquake once!

me also.

on the front page I saw "earthquake hitting L..." and I was worried it might be Laos *whew*
