Earthquakes 2008

Anyone else just get the shakes?

Nope.

So nothng as yet for the year? Isn;t it about time someone started up with, “well when’s the biggie happening?”

Just got wondering after noticing Blighty suffered a quiver. You could scarcely call it a shake relative to Taiwan’s jah wobbles.

HG

Did you feel that?

Felt.

Not a terribly big one, but first I’ve felt in a while.

And for the first time I can remember, CWB and USGS actually agree on the magnitude of a quake.

Pretty good jolt about 30 minutes ago in Kaohsiung.

From the look of the map at CWB, most of the island is really getting some action today. Still waiting to experience the first quake in my new place on the 9th floor, hasn’t been a thing that I felt in Taipei since I moved to this building in November. Perhaps I’m crazy to be looking forward to that experience…

Man. I woke up this morning remembering that I had a dream about an earthquake.

Looks like It was a fair sized one here in Jiayi.

Poor doggie. He woke me up with a weird whimper and I put a sweater on him. This morning he had taken it off. So he was trying to tell me about the quake. I never would have guessed.

Downstate earthquake in Ill

As the saying goes=you get out of Taiwan, but Taiwan can’t get out of you… :laughing: I slept thru it, but some people said they felt it in Chicago.

[quote]
WEST SALEM, Ill. — Residents across the Midwest were awakened Friday by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake that rattled skyscrapers in Chicago’s Loop, and homes in Cincinnati but appeared to cause no major injuries and only minor damage to buildings.

Several aftershocks followed, one with a magnitude of 4.6.

The quake just before 4:37 a.m. was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 45 miles from Evansville, Ind. It was felt in such distant cities as Milwaukee, Des Moines, Iowa, and Atlanta, nearly 400 miles to the southeast.[/quote]

Shaking in Nankang.

Nothing noticeable in Neihu.

Who felt it, dealt it.

[quote=“Dr. McCoy”]Who felt it, dealt it.[/quote]You may be right.

Edit:
Nope, I was right.

Ok, THAT one wasn’t just me. 12 hours apart. Weird.

Dammit was just about to be able to close my eyes after staring at the ceiling endlessly, but thanks to this recent one I am up and about again.

It’s been pretty busy along the east coast the last 24 hours. This is yesterday afternoon’s; didn’t feel it.
