earthquake silence you laid your head on my lap and asked me how it felt to be a human pillow. i said it felt good. if i was honest, i would have said that it was the most frightening place i have been in a very long time. 010303 ... nom when i talked with my mom on the phone today she told me the tv said to be prepared 070203 ... ctv.ca "...Should B.C. escape the big one this time, the next window of higher earthquake risk will occur around April 2008. Rogers said seismologists haven't figured out why the ETS phenomenon happens every 14 months in the Pacific Northwest..." 070203 ... nom "...Residents of southern British Columbia can breathe easier now that the window of increased probability in which a major earthquake could strike the region closed sooner than expected. Seismologists at the Pacific Geoscience Centre in Sidney, B.C. say the latest episode of subterranean tremors on Vancouver Island than began Jan. 26 has ended about a week earlier than usual. "The tremors stopped about 24 hours ago," Natural Resources Canada seismologist John Cassidy told CTV.ca Sunday morning in a phone interview from Sidney, B.C. This means the heightened risk that a magnitude 9.0 or higher earthquake could strike, accompanied by a tsunami equal to the size of and strength of what hit the Sumatra-Andaman Islands in 2004, has significantly weakened..." 070205 ... Isaou Shake shake shake. We are so unbelievably lucky, this all seems so unreal 100904 ... Isaou Crazy crazy. Aftershocks are a constant reminder that it did really happen 100904 ... raze a few days ago we had one about twenty miles away. i guess what made its way to us was the aftershock phase. as far as i know it's the first time i've experienced any part of an earthquake. our house shook for a few seconds. i thought the oven exploded, somehow, in the quietest way possible. but no. it was the last gasp of a little quake, with a lowly magnitude of 3.6. 180421 ... unhinged fracking is taking over ohio ... maybe it was a residual earthquake caused by fracking seismologists say this area is due for a huge one, possible 9.0 or bigger. i have no idea what to do in an earthquake. sometimes when i get really high i start to get vaguely panicky about a damn earthquake... 180421 ... ovenbird I’ve lived in Cascadia almost 20 years and while there are minor earthquakes in the area constantly I’ve only felt a handful of them. The first time, the jolt that woke me felt like the hypnic jerks that sometimes startle me out of early sleep. I experienced a sensation of falling and found myself grasping desperately for something to hold on to. I’ve never gotten used to the constant threat of seismic apocalypse. Every small tremor sends me on a scavenger hunt around my house checking all my emergency kits and supplies. These include water, non perishable food ration bars, grab and go disaster bags full of flashlights and first aid kits and thermal blankets and tube tents, water filtration devices, and matches. I would be kidding myself if I pretended that a recent acquisition of two folding kayaks didn’t have something to do with assuring me that I will be able to paddle off this island delta if the tsunami leaves us underwater. The problem is, I’m not sure any of these things will be of any use at all if the Big One comes for us. I live in a near constant state of low level anxiety wondering when the earth will liquefy beneath me, sucking me into a silty hell, and filling my lungs with mud. 250915 ... ancasa.reyn i was awakened early this morning by an earthquake i have experienced quite a few since moving to the bay area but never has one kicked me from a deep sleep at first i wasn't sure i hadn't dreamt my fourth floor swaying so i immediately checked my quake notifications to confirm that indeed a 4.3 temblor across the bay was recorded the weird thing about quakes in the middle of the night is having to decide whether or not to go back to sleep which i did a few hours ago an aftershock rolled through the building i live in was built in 1904 or 1905 or 1906 which would mean it survived the last big one or maybe the last big one is yet to come 250922 what's it to you? who go blather from
