Re: True, true.... jh Send a noteboard - 23/08/2011 09:14:53 PM
Yeah. It's ... something like 8 times stronger between points.


10, so a magnitude difference of 0.5 would result in 3 times more power. or so. (3.16? I always mess up that number.) Edit: Not power, power is base 31 or so, but magnitude of the seismograph waves. Power would be 5.5 or so.

Yeah, see....we understand about the other factors in an earthquake. We live with them all the time. But the earthquake n00bs....they are excitable.

Fact. I always giggle at the UK and its 3.9 quakes!


I have experienced two quakes of that magnitude. It's really shocking. The bed was rocking enough to make me go back to sleep.

We didn't feel it in Norway Camilla - 24/08/2011 04:25:42 PM 603 Views
You're right, the reason it's news is because we don't get earthquakes that poweful. Hence, I posted *NM* LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 08:34:27 PM 278 Views
You'll be ok. But if you're feeling the paranoia..... Jeordam - 23/08/2011 08:53:36 PM 676 Views
I doubt things are broken- it wasn't too strong by the time it got to me, at least 100 miles away. LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 08:56:34 PM 752 Views
Probably worth remembering most of the buildings aren't designed for that Isaac - 23/08/2011 08:38:08 PM 637 Views

Pretty scary event when it's so shallow. Rebekah - 23/08/2011 08:36:01 PM 577 Views

Widespread tremors, alright. You guys OK, I guess? *NM* LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 09:59:22 PM 254 Views
Yeah, thanks. Very minor. I actually didn't feel it, but a bunch of my family/friends did. *NM* Aemon - 24/08/2011 03:55:51 PM 233 Views
Richmond, VA... definitely felt it Mat Maniac - 24/08/2011 06:44:39 AM 636 Views
