Aye i saw it ta.

Apparent the quake was 100 miles south of me, and measured 5.3 on the Richter scale. Not big in the grand scheme of things, but its the biggest in england in 24 years and the only one i've ever felt this far north.

BummerJonny 02-27-2008 06:41 AM

doubr i'd have felt it anyway...

I grew up in So California, and went through some pretty bad quakes. The last big one I was there for was the Northridge quake. Kicked the entire region in the balls for months. It was a 7.0. More that seven of the after shocks were above 5.0.
At least out there, buildings built since the 50s are "earthqauke proof" which really means the building will get hammered but it should not kill you, and other than the Oak Ridge Apartment Building in the valley that had its second and third floor crush the first floor and around 15-20 were squished to death, fatalities were pretty low. In Europe there are thousands of unreinforced brick buildings that are gonna come crashing down at anything more than a 5.5 and death will be wholesale.

Theres only been one injury reported so far and thats a kid in his attic room had his pelvis crushed.

Its pretty weird that it occurred so far north though. Mostly they're out in the English channel so we never even feel them up here, but this one occurred in the north. In my life, thats unheard of. Especially a relatively big one like that. I didn't feel the aftershock though which was only a 1.8 3 hours later.

Negatore, sir. But that was a useless comment :p

I dunno, just something about them irritates me. Although i really dont like that kinda music.

GhostNote 02-27-2008 08:46 AM

So it's the latter, i guess? Alot of people don't like indie.


-GN

Drum Phil 02-27-2008 08:48 AM

Probably. Theres something about indie in general that doesnt sit with me.
