Major earthquake in the High Desert

After like 20 million years of fault movement maybe

 

Scientists be like..I predict that something will go boom someday.

 

This will be a fun day

 

exactly. we're on geologic time here, most of the predictions are focused around news/media time but do not mistake that for anything other than deadly serious BE PREPARED for the big one. Be prepared to last several weeks without assistance. Be prepared to evacuate, including keeping extra fuel for the trip or rescue/recovery efforts. Our trucks are thirsty.

 

A 6.4 quake rolled out of Tonopah west this morning and woke my ass up! The house and everything in it was shaken' and grooving'!
Widely felt, folks in San Jose and Vegas reported it.

 

Definitely felt it here in Fallon.

 

I bet you did! You were pretty close to it.

 

The old "My Pillow" was shaking!

 

Thankfully it was a slow roll.

 

This large earthquake is right ontop of the newly discovered Walker lane subduction zone !!!!

Thought you lived in Brooklyn lol

 

Almost a year from the 6.5 / 7.1 earthquakes in Ridgecrest Ca and the distance between the two locations is 200 miles and both located on the Walker lane subduction zone

 

Looks like it put the hurt on the 95

How you doing Bob? You getting down here any time before San G?

 

Doing well sir, how you doing? We were hoping for a work trip mid-May for Kass but that's been Wuhanned...hoping to have it rescheduled once they open everything back up. I'll definitely post in the SD thread. Chris ended up moving over to AZ a couple weeks ago.

 

We are doing well despite this Wuhan bullshit.
I'll keep an eye out for you posting in the SD thread.
What motivated Chris to move to AZ? Did he get a new job there or just sick and tired of the COL, taxes, and political BS here in CA?

 

Hopefully we'll be over it soon, it's beyond gotten old.

I think it's "an all of the above" for Chris. He's over in Yuma so we'll see how it goes. So far they're really liking it.

 

Nah, I broke it off with @NYCTaco52 . Turns out he's not my type...

 

I bet Matt @theesotericone got a little shaking early this morning...
