I see rock fall dust clouds up in the Sierras...

 

This dust storm is coming from the Sahara desert. Supposed to hit this week. Hit the Bahamas and islands down there this week.

I felt it in Mammoth. Putting down a decking on the second story and I got to watch the Pettibone arm sway. You must have felt it good. It was close and shallow.

 

There was a search and rescue team up above Bishop earlier this morning, hope they are ok...

 

USGS downgraded to a 5.8 magnitude

Oh yeah, the shop was rocking and I expected the fire supression or lube plumbing to start dropping out of the ceiling.

Waiting for the aftershocks now...

 

What a year.....

 

Where?

 

I turned on the scanner when the Big Pine siren went off this morning, was a gas leak 67x Main St. I left it on and then a call came in, they were talking about setting up a relay for communication but the team said they thought they weren't going to need it.
Did not hear anything else.

 

According to USGS 8500 people felt it

 

That is close to the total population of Bishop, BP, LP and Independance

 

Sounds like a rock slide went through Whitney Portal Campground. Emergency responders are on site. No injury reports yet.

 

Thats supposed to hit us starting this evening if the winds keep up. I have a front row seat since I live on the Atlantic

Fucking thing will probably have that face thing from The Mummy....someone get Brandon Frasers fat ass to a gym please.

 

12 aftershocks and one was a 4.6 - did not feel any of them in Big Pine.
