I'm not sure where in Cali it was but I know it was a 4-5 pointer.
Did anyone feel the quake?

I am in Connecticut and did not feel the quake.
Did not feel it here either.
Did any one else see that big arsed bird that just flew past my window?

i heard a duck quack once, does that count?
Each point on the Richter scale is an order of magnitude difference. So a 5 is 10x as powerful as a 4. A five might spill your coffee, knock over a plant. But a 6 will level an unreinforced brick building. 6 and up is where things get hairy fast.
What do I know about quakes... I'm in OK. I figured 4-5 is a pretty good shakin'
We have crazy weather though yesterday really bad winds here tore windows off of one of the large buildings downtown and huge panes of glass were falling from the sky.... I bet I can even find a picture...
Sho-Nuff:

i'm surprised no hobo's were killed in the barrage of falling glass
This week has been pretty wild. Golf ball size hail. Tornado warnings, but no touch downs. 60mph winds. Fun stuff.

Brookside was totally down too, the whole block had zero power and there were massive trees everywhere that were either uprooted or broken.
I saw a lexus SUV that had a big ass tree smashed into the roof... it was AWESOME!
Yeah the storms the last two nights have been insane. we got 60-70 mph winds in downtown dallas. I live on the 22nd floor, so I look out over a wide swath of dallas, and I musta saw at least 5-6 transformers exploding in the last two nights. crazy. There was a 15x30 piece of metal that was ripped off the building next to us and we watched it dance in the wind at around the 25th floor for at least five minutes until it finally fell between two cars.
no, it was a daffy duck, in a "duck dodgers of the 24th and a half century" episode
Where you be at? I think our winds were around 80+ yesterday, at least in certain areas.
In order to have a tornado warning there has to be a touch down somewhere. A tornado watch and there is no touchdowns but it is likely.

i love it when overpriced yuppie bitch snob mobiles get all fuhked up, especially when no one gets hurt and they have to look at their mangled piece of "keeping up with the joneses" phalic symbols
heh!
You know what's funny is...we'll have an earthquake...even a very mild one that could pass as a dizzy spell...and all the sudden people get on the phone and call the radio stations...and the radio guys'll be all...yeah we got a call from someone in Gilroy that felt it...no damage or injuries to report...and it's like a 4 point o'er. why...why would you call the radio station unless you had something of relevance to report...usually they will say that we had an earthquake, state the epicenter and magnitude...thats enough...we don't need to hear how some yahoo in gilroy felt the ground roll...
Being in Cali we are all armchair geologists...

Had an F3 tornado about a mile from my house on Thursday. Pretty crazy stuff. There were two completely trashed homes, and about 30 with missing roof or walls. Luckily, no one was seriously injuried, except for a baby that got sucked out of a window. No harm done to the dirt jumps, either.

Damn, glad I don't live there. Yet

Not true. If radar indicates rotation, a tornado warning will be issued. I believe there was also some sightings of funnel clouds.
Def -- A funnel cloud is a vortex of condensated water vapor and air spinning at high velocity. Funnel clouds can form under cumulus clouds if there is enough humidity and vorticity in the air. Landspouts and waterspouts are funnel clouds which reach to ground level, but are usually weak, as opposed to tornadoes. A tornado by definition is a funnel cloud created by mesoscale storm rotation rather than the small vorticity in the air which is responsible for funnel clouds.
Ain't THAT the toof!
YEAH FOO!!!!
I new RM was a good place to learn new stuff
Better the the weather channel I tell ya!
oh and 68 degrees here with 12 mph winds and gusts of 29 mph.
No earthquakes or tornados to report..................a few geese and ducks though
