so you say from this angle you don’t think the F/A 18 footage on this pass appears close enough to the tower – https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...t#post16584106

7.1 magnitude EQ moments ago near Ridgecrest CA. It was stronger and rolled longer here than the previous 6.4. Predicting more significant structural damage near the epicenter. Holy cow.

We felt an aftershock just a couple minutes later that was just minor, but still could be felt.

Read a news article just this morning that only about 1 million homeowners in California have the optional Earthquake Authority insurance. It’s affordable where I live and we have it, but in the L.A. area article said it would be $2,000 or more.

EDIT: now calling it a 6.9 quake. Still a MAJOR quake.
EDIT2: Revised back up to 7.1. Experts saying ~10x more powerful than the 6.4 quake.

What's going on yesterday and today! And yes, from 7.1 to 6.9 (very briefly) but now back to 7.1 Mag (official)
{It's always less when they get their numbers right.}

yep and even though 6.4 -> 6.9 increase doesn’t sound like much, keep in mind the magnitude scale is logarithmic
epicenter probably in same region as above (NAWS China Lake)
hope folks on base and in ridgecrest are o.k.

Someone living in the Los Angeles vicinity had foot waves in his swimming pool, and the chandeliers were swinging.

They had to call the HDR pro video calibrator. ;-)

How is it by San Diego Penton; any unusual occurrences?

* Here, @ home ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...nada-1.5201165

My speakers are spiked to the floor and my TV is attached tight with its seatbelt.
What worry me the most are my ceiling speakers, falling down on my head. ;-)

Other than that things are shaking up good globally ...

Below 5,000 is one goal.

Yes; it was first announced as a 7.1 Magnitude, then briefly downgraded to 6.9 Mag, and now finally as a 7.1 "mainshock" earthquake. The 4th of July one was a 6.4 "foreshock" earthquake. Since then (the 4th) there has been approximately 5,000+ aftershocks.

The 7.1 Mag of yesterday was felt as far as Mexico.
