Re: 6.0 Quake Rattles Northeastern Nevada
As I'm probably the closest Junkie to it (~140 miles to the south) I'm doing good. Some here in Ely say they felt it, I may have but being from So. Cal. didn't consider it anything note worthy. Been talking to some people though that have family there, getting stories of cracked water tanks and dancing propane tanks as well as the downtown damage.Escaped on a technicality.

is that anywhere near the San Andreas Fault Line?
is that normal for that area?
was that one further inland than most quakes out there?

Re: 6.0 Quake Rattles Northeastern Nevada
What would be the rating on a quake that would re-shape the ground? There's stories out there of streets rising or sinking like 15-20 feet at any random spot, people's lawns becoming a minature golf course, etc. I assume this one just "shook", but didn't change the contour of the land?The official Bangshift garage door guru. Just about anything can be built using garage door parts, trust me.

Glad you're OK. Are you sure you want to live there? Here in coastal NC we're completely safe - depending on how you feel about hurricanes! Our plan - drive inland. Actually, in 3 years we haven't seem more than a big rain storm.

Re: 6.0 Quake Rattles Northeastern Nevada
SilverBuick please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's the make up of the soil and strata in a given area that will determine the amount of potential damage at a given magnitude. Sandy loam and a high water table would be at a higher risk.

my day job is boring as hell!!! I'm a middle manager at a boring middle america company that keeps data on people and businesses. No one here appreciates the EFI/car stuff I do on the side. Short of my office decor, consisting of pics of cars I tuned in the past few years, magazine articles etc. this job really blows!!
on the weekends and evenings, however - different story. But as far as raw smarts, TheSilverBuick beats me by a wide margin.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!

Dan, I wouldn't be so sure of that. There is a fault that runs directly under the nuclear power plant near Southport! In 1886 there was a really bad earthquake that tore up part of Charleston, SC. I don't know if that is the same fault line or not.
