5.7 earthquake
Re: 5.7 earthquake
One of these days I am going to educate myself in regards to earthquakes.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 9:06 amoh sure, but it didn’t even look like there was “natural” damage either...i’ll have to look into it more, but really surprised there wasn’t a tsunamiNotGutterGutter wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 7:46 amMinimal man made structural damage. My uneducated guess is that an 8.2 would fuck up a major city pretty bad.
the 8 the largest quakes in recorded US history have all been in Alaska...the 1964 one, which was notably centered much closer to Anchorage (80 miles vs 500 miles) resulted in landslides and tsunamis
i realize that the severity scale of quakes is logarithmic, but am still a little surprised...particularly with the epicenter of this one being just off the coast
I don't think about it often but when I do, it makes me a bit nervous living in a high rise when I am not all that far away from the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Plus, I'm a block away from a large body of water that is not immune to a meteotsunami.

it’s so incredibly dynamic and complex
related...imo, one of the coolest things is standing on the Pacific coast and thinking about what/where you’re standing in the grand scheme of things...on the edge of a massive continental shelf that is slowly inching its way westward

Such as the complexity of the human body.
When I start to think about the planet Earth, and question how it has or hasn't existed "forever", and how it's evolved, and many of the intricacies, it blows it me away.
Getting back to earthquakes and "natural disasters", as a child I believed California COULD (not would) "fall in to the ocean" in the next 100 or so years.
I have since read that's basically impossible. Then as an adult I started to believe much of California would be underwater by the next century (2100s). While probably highly doubtful. I don't think it's "basically impossible". If it did happen, my uneducated guess is that it would probably be more due to "man made disaster/s".
Re: 5.7 earthquake
Also hurricane headed there soon
Didnt this just happen there like 6 or 7 years ago with massive casualties?

Forgot to post this the other day......
"You all felt the earthquake, right?" one man asked as he exited his apartment complex. "I wasn't sure if it was just the brownies kicking in."

He just did! did you not see his post? His raising awareness and asking important and pointed questions to the 15 of us is more valuable and impactful, long term, than any actual effort.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
