It wasn't even mentioned on the national news awhile ago. Not much of an emergency.

I have friends in the LA area who basically said "Quake? What quake? We didn't feel a thing."

RadicalModerate, earthquakes are not funny. There could be injuries out there.

I feel sorry for your "ex-mom"

Well, a troll announced it on the LW yesterday, but I still can't find the news on CNN or Fox News. Probably was never a quake.

Regardless dude, it is near impossible to have injuries associated with a 4.3 earthquake. Just stop being so dramatic with every little thing out there.

USGS.gov...best place to go to look at recent quake activity. No it wasn't a troll. It did occur, but it isn't news. Image below shows the 4.2 and also 301 other earthquakes there. It is a complete non-issue there.

I would also encourage you to review the Wiki page on the Richter scale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale

It shows the expected impacts based on the Richter number. 4.2 would have be: Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely. You have to get over 5.0 to really start seeing any serious damage...but that is mainly just to weak buildings. 6.0 and up is when things get serious.

Earthquake Emergency

Another major earthquake is due sometime during next week.

Ouija Board

Well, you should stay away from a Ouija board, because when the pointer starts moving, you don't if the other person is causing it to move, or not. I speak from experience.

There is some increase in solar activity going on right now and the rest of the week. I guess its possible that this could cause earthquakes.

Severe Earthquake Emergency

Its happening and it will only get worse! Faults are becoming more active than anywhere else! Its highly likely this will awaken the New Myraid fault! What will you do?!?!?!

How did I know that this was coming. sigh!!!!!

Thunder, I've decided I'm gonna move into your trailer for the time being. You're not using it yet, so I won't be in the way, and since it is earthquake season and not tornado season, I'd rather risk the trailer tipping over than my roof dropping down on my noggin.

Hope you don't mind.

Reports of grounds being warmer than usual. This could be hot magma/lava pushing upward!

If you are talking about around areas where the earthquake happened and are continuing to have aftershocks, then it should be at least slightly warmer than average due to moving creates friction and friction results in heat.

It could also be the farts of long dormant creatures from hell. I'm not laying down money on either choice, and suggest you don't either.

Scientists, police and the military have cordoned off the area in the vincinity of somewhere out around Prague, OK. Apparently a fire breathing dinosaur is emerging from a big crack in the ground opened by the recent earthquake. I think this may have a lot to do with the reported increase in ground temperature.

Some people are speculating that maybe it is a dragon, mistakenly identified as a dinosaur.
Scientists, police and the military are keeping mum about this part of the emergency.

RM why do you entice, encourage, and feed the monster? lol

Where have I heard about this before though...Oh yeah! LOL

red alert

When mindless cult members off themselves in groups like the Hale-Bopp idiots... I always wonder where those people come from.... After reading this thread, I now understand...

Ironically, scientists are now speculating that the recent spate of earthquakes in central Oklahoma is due to the approach of a comet--dubbed Nike-Adidas--that is just barely going to miss Earth!

Man, that lock-out is impacting everything

Man, that lock-out is impacting everything

I know, huh? Even Nike and Adidas are working together to try and destroy the earth. Crazy times.

This just in: Scientists and the military have confirmed that is was a dinosaur rather than a dragon.

Not a 10.0 as predicted, but a quake is still a quake.

Yes.

I think maybe the predicted "10.0" had a misplaced decimal point . . .

Yes.
But "They" are rarely correct.

It is officially the year 2012 and the chain of year-long major disasters have begun. Japan experienced a devastating 7.0M shaker on this very first day.

It isn't devastating -- the article says there was no damage reported.

Thunder never lets reality get in the way of a good disaster.
