0:10 – He was out by a mile.

@mupty Well that’s California for you

Baseball > Earthquakes

Fact!!

Look the Bay Area has not have a quake thats from 6.3 or greater since Loma Prieta Quake of 1989. Look within the past 20 years. Eureka and Landers had 7.2 quakes in 1992. Big Bear 6.4 in 1992, Northridge 6.7 in 1994, Hector mine 7.1 in 1999, 6.5 San Simeon in 2003, 6.4 Parkfield in 1994 and the 2010 quakes in Eureka and Calexico/Mexicali areas. Stress is on us

I was flying over California (destination, San Diego) when the airline pilot came on the mic and said that San Francisco had just had an earthquake.

I love how Al handled it. He could’ve been a news man. My aunts and grandmother lived there at the time and I was so nervous. I was 9 at the time.

Hey, you can’t forget about the New Madrid Fault that’s here in the Mid-West. That Fault Line is way over due for another Major Quake, I mean sure we have had Quakes around here. In fact we had a Quake within the Mid-West just this last year and another in 2002 and one in 1986, that were in the 4-6 range on the seismometer. The New Madrid Fault runs from Wisconsin down to Missouri, and I live in ILLinois which is apart of the Fault system. The Big One is Coming!

Sorry! I was once cleaning out my hard drive and found this little treasure in the process. Since it wasn’t on the Internet, I decided to upload it.

That’s all I have, sorry once again.

It great to look back a this stuff.

I was six years old and living in Novato at the time. My mother had gone to Safeway and my stepfather told me to stand still while he held my infant brother when the house shook for 10 seconds. My mom returned an hour later telling us that Safeway’s roof had caved in and that people outside starting running.

The San Andreas can produce quake sin the 8 range because it’s a slip strike fault. Alaska, Washington, and Oregon are capable of bigger quakes because they are subduction zones.

Did you forget the Big Bear/Landers Earthquakes. That was a 6.5 and 7.3.. Those were hours apart. Alaska does have more earthquakes but So.Cal is overdue for a major earthquake. So it;s not doomsday more than being prepared.

I worked at Elegance Unlimited Limo service then and when I got back home I went to work, got my limo and drove 78 hours straight with the ABC news crew in and out of SF – no working signals, no power in most of the places, and it was hot.. no one had ice nothing. it was an experience I will never forget. Oddly enough I never saw any of the news footage as I was in the middle of everything at the time.

My son and I were sitting 10 rows behind the players dugout – we at first thought it was an upper deck rumble- it was truly weird- a guy in front of us had a small TV and he was the one who told us what it was and that the bridge had fallen as well as the highway overpass. We sat in our seats for about an hour- finally got on the phone at around 10pm and drove el camino real all the way back to SJ no lights on the road..

Yes 7.8 or 7.9 quakes are the highest recorded quakes CA can have. Look at Alaska I heard that they get 8.9 quakes and the last big one was in the 1960′s. Look at the New madrid fault they have a 7.0 quake that can shake the entire eastern half of the US down I wonder if New Madrid is overdue for another big one.

I was six and living in Novato.

They’ve been talking this SHIT for years. It’s called anti-California doomsday propoganda it was because it was so famous for earthquakes. When the truth is that Alaska is more earthquake prone then CA and that California only has tremors 3.5-5.0 all of the time. A major quake 6.0-7.0 only hits the state once every decade. The Big one 7.5-Higher. Yeah, right! The last time that happened was in what 1906, oh wow! That was over a hundred years ago!

Historic videotape. If you get any more, share with us!

My aunt is late to EVERYTHING expect a Giants game. Thank god she was in the staduim and not on the bridge. Location and luck is everything

that shit is scary

Not that it really makes a difference but only roughly 70 people were killed. 300 was an early estimation.

At :16 (just before they lost video), you can hear the crowd noise start to escalate.

@mupty A seismic wave?

Man you can hear people cheering and going nuts in the background.

Yeah I know like 300 people were killed in that earthquake but who wants to bet that people were doing the wave in the stands when the earthquake hit?

It is actually “I’ll tell you what, we have an earth–”

Am I hearing the sound of panic in the background?
