| 1134477 | 2010-09-07 14:15:00 | Just had a big-ish one a while ago. I like 'em. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1134478 | 2010-09-07 15:56:00 | Yeah - we get updates that tell us youse guys will get serious aftershocks for a while yet. I personally like EQs, but I've never been in one that actually caused me any grief and destruction to any of my effects. We had that big Landers/BigBear quake that was - what, a 7.6 or so? Just an 'E-Ticket Ride' for me as I watched building fall down around me. Youse guy, OTOH, don't have too many places that would be exempt of destruction if this gets worse or even just keeps status quo. My heart and prayers go out to you and yours and hope all come through this with a big grin and say: "Wasn't that neat" when it's all over. I wish I could be there to help. |

| 1134480 | 2010-09-08 04:40:00 | It was a 4.1 this morning, just before 8am. And man was it bad. Different location (near Diamond Harbour) That is the first quake to have me running for a doorway, esp being at work with crap falling everywhere. Ended up evacuating for a while and they were just discovering a few cracks in the walls before I left. |

| 1134482 | 2010-09-08 04:52:00 | The aftershocks just keep coming, we could do without them. Everytime it happens, our dogs think that they are being invaded. Here in Sydenham/Beckenham, beside the Heathcote River our 33 year old brick house has only lost a couple of handfulls of pointing from the wall/soffit joint. A few ornaments, a large potplant container, and a photo frame broken. Just a couple of hundred metres away some liquifaction in a street. A 21inch (CRT) TV has fallen off a dresser twice, the last time this am. It still lies there, as it cant fall any further. After the first fall it still worked! | Brucem (8688) | ||
| 1134483 | 2010-09-08 05:13:00 | Just came across this, seemed appropriate. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||

Ended up evacuating for a while and they were just discovering a few cracks in the walls before I left. The Seismological unit here in the US says that many people are injured by standing under their doorways, since the house can 'rack' and crush them. The newest and most logical place to stay in next to your bed or under a very substantial piece of heavy furniture or table - since it's pretty solid and can offer a good area to keep an air space. |
