Re: almost lost a Ty in quake
yeah, it was the 5.8 i was referring to. lol you're correct, a 2.2 is what happens about 1 hour after i eat lunch. :rotf:
but, there is a case to be made about resonant frequency, which could have more of an impact than the magnitude of the quake itself.
also keep in mind, NOTHING out here is built to earth quake standards, nor do any of our insurance polices cover any sort of structural damage. i know quite a bit of people that have structural cracks now that aren't covered by insurance, and now they are worried that if they don't fix them immediately, their insurance company may drop them (if they find out about it) since their house is no longer "structurally sound".
on the flip side, i remember visiting LA and it was about 58* out. people were wearing jackets, hoods, gloves, and were freaking out about how cold it was. I guess it is all about what you're used to. :tup:
