Heard the alarms, but didn't feel the earthquake, which is strange since most people did. Maybe I mistook the earthquake with my kinda wobbly standing desk.

I'm in the OC about 80 miles as the crow flies.

8.7 means someone is getting fucked up somewhere. 

its a pretty unpopulated part of Russia, so if it only is the EQ, then it sucks but damage should be limited to the area.    if its made a tsunami... shit is could get real along the entire west coast in about 9 hours.

Yeah, understood. I did not say massive russian loss of life, I said someone is getting fucked. 

Wonder if there are implications for Northern Japan.

the fact that the quake was shallow is pretty scary news. Hope everyone heeds all the warnings and gets to higher ground. Watch became a warning now so not great news. Damn. 
 

Fuck.

you can track the aftershocks here - the first on was 6.9, about 35 minutes after the initial 8.7, they are getting smaller and closer togetherScreenshot2025-07-29205959.thumb.jpg.c7eaba045d7508024d20f8dc0ea76772.jpg

Sorry was watching CNN. Just paraphrasing what they were saying.

any chance of a building falling on that cocksucker Putin?  

He's more than 4,000 miles away.  I doubt it.

 

This dude is showing various streams.  Now measured as 8.8.

These people not getting out of the water on Waikiki are nuts. 

I've got the SUV loaded with water and food and other essentials ready to go to higher ground if need be.

I get it that there's still 3+ hours until it gets there, but why wait and risk the roads being jammed pack?

Good to see you two check-in. I am going up to higher ground at Pearl Ridge. I live down near the old Dole Cannery and I see how it gets there just for heavy storms, much less this.

Fair point. I have two older neighbors I'm going to check in on to join me.
