I think people in your building are getting "shaken" for other reasons right nowJoe Pozer said:I didn't realize there was an earthquake until Acadian called to tell me about it. Some people in my office bldg., here in San Francisco, felt a little bit of shaking but not much

Only 6.0 and 200 miles away.....dh girlie is right pfffff! At least that is the way I felt when I lived in Cali (most of my life).

But thanks for the concern Freak...I forgot to mention that in my original post!

He's going to call it a a girlie-quake...reflux said:I can't wait for Arnold to come out with a speech saying that we (Californians) won't let a simple earthquake damage our pride and pursuit of freedom. Hey, he did it for the last one...
Joe Pozer said:Yep, it's not a fun being around here today. Pretty sad seening people you've worked with for the past four years getting laid off.
You don't? Then what happend in Seattle in 2000 (or was it early 01?)? I've experienced a couple of small quakes around Portland.evilbob said:Only 6.0 and 200 miles away.....dh girlie is right pfffff!

We had a little quake up here a couple of years ago. I had to work with this one A$$ of a contractor from England. Bosting this and that everyday, putting America down.... bla bla bla. Oh but then the ground shook a little and he started to cry (seriously, tears). Next day he went home..........bye bye.dh girlie said:EXACTLY...I'd like to see what all these out of staters/coutriers would do if they were here in 89!
Got me, yes there are quakes up here but I have not been knocked down by one yet. In Cali I have been takin off my feet 3 times, that will get your attention real quick.towelie said:You don't?

Holy crap I was in that one... At first I said to myself "oh an earthquake" then it was like BAM "holy sh!t this is not good. Ran out of my bedroom to see the lighting fixture that hung 6 ft from the second story ceiling smashing holes into the ceiling drywall. Now that was a quake!!!dh girlie said:The one in 89 in SF was BAD...to see it on tv is completely different to see it in person...in sf there were 5 story buildings on the ground that you were looking at the roof top...street broken and raised about 6 or 7 feet...creepy and eerie was what it was...
I'm talking about the kind of eruption like was seen in 1980.towelie said:I grew up about 35 miles from St. Helens. I remember every few years you'd look out in the morning and see a big streak of ash across the snow. It tends to have these eruptions from time to time, and it has been awhile. It is about due.
Make no mistake that St. Helens, like all the cascades, is a very active Volcano. If you ever climb it you can look down and see the dome in the crater steaming. If you ever climb hood, just above Timberline you encounter the "sulpher vents", which is a series of stinky, sulpherous steam vents. I've never climbed Rainier, but I hear it has some activity too, as does Adams. These are very active mountains, and it is only a question of which will have a major eruption first, and when. All of them will likely erupt again though.
I don't think there is enough of the mountain left for that to happen, let alone glaciers.Rip said:I'm talking about the kind of eruption like was seen in 1980.
