I was in a 9.2 in November, 7 is big, but doesn't need a press conference
Found it:
It was... a 7.2.
I was in a 9.2 in November, 7 is big, but doesn't need a press conference
7.1 sounds terrifying, has me scared about whenever the big one will hit Seattle. Hope everyone is safe.
But did they have a press conference?
So uh...I live IN Ridgecrest at the moment, (moved from AZ for a job opportunity after college) and I'm pretty fucking freaked out right now. Anyone used to earthquakes wanna fill me in on "foreshocks" and how much of the media right now is just speculation? Cuz' I'm pretty shook right now if these last two were just warm-ups.
All anyone can tell you is that there's a 5% or so chance that a bigger quake will follow in the next few days, and a 95% chance that it won't.So uh...I live IN Ridgecrest at the moment, (moved from AZ for a job opportunity after college) and I'm pretty fucking freaked out right now.

I thought this WAS the 5%, since the one yesterday was smaller. I guess there's always a 5% chance the next one is larger?All anyone can tell you is that there's a 5% or so chance that a bigger quake will follow in teh next few days, and a 95% chance that it won't.
Honestly if I lived in Ridgecrest area and had the ability to move away for a few days, I would.

Yep, each new quake resets the probability spectrum for a larger event.I thought this WAS the 5%, since the one yesterday was smaller. I guess there's always a 5% chance the next one is larger?

I gotta get out of here before that happens. Like in the next couple years, I have to go.
Might set off Rainier, too.
1 in 20 chance that the next one will be bigger. It may be tomorrow, it may be in 2 years ... 20 years ... who knows.
I'd trust the real experts than the media on this one, to be honest.

Everything is speculation. News channels need to fill time. The people talking about plates moving are stating 100% fact, but no one knows what that ultimately means for a big quake. A big quake could hit California in 2 days or 100 years, and no on will 100% know until it actually happens.
The number being used at the press conference the other day was a 5% chance a bigger one will come. That happened tonight so I would assume it's a fairly small chance of seeing something even bigger. Smaller aftershocks are more likely.
Growing up in SoCal I remember being woken up in the middle of the night by quakes a number of times. It's unnerving not knowing if another one is coming. People would sleep in their cars all night just to get out of the house.
San Andreas fault maxes out at approximately 8.3, so at least it won't be as bad as when the doom of Seattle comes
Whats that big one under yellowstone called?

And we'll definitely feel it in California but the Pacific Northwest is the one that's really in danger. I hope people in those areas are at least taking precautions as well.
Not positive, but that was a lot closer to Seattle than the current one to LA, right?
Yeah that's exactly what I'm concerned aboutYeah having to rely on Trump to give federal disaster aid to liberal California. yikes
Naah, I'm just havin a chuckle, mate
Also, I don't know who she is - but she's awesome:
I too wish I was so cool to have been through major weather events and then make fun of others who havent to show my cool weather street cred
I'm in the South Bay and felt none of the quakes so far. How in the world do people in OC feel these?

Seeing as each point on the scale is 10x the magnitude, a maxed out SAF quake would be what... 120 times nastier than the 7.1 we just felt? Is my math off on that I'm so bad at math godSan Andreas fault maxes out at approximately 8.3, so at least it won't be as bad as when the doom of Seattle comes
