There’s been a real lack of significant earthquakes on the San Andreas fault for some time, which is not a great sign

I wonder if the big one hits, whether Trumpty Dumpty will use it as an excuse to make those Liberal Californians beg for assistance and bend the knee.
Presumably Musk has taken an axe to FEMA and any response will be far worse than before.
Worrying times.

Or he’ll misquote some seismologist report he’d heard and say “it’s San Andreas’s fault and we’ll be coming down on San Andreas very hard, very hard indeed”.
Probably send him to El Salvador

Trump has just announced an increase on tariffs for earthquakes. Easy money.

Is it reciprocal? 6% for San Andreas

No, Trump respects the strength of San Andreas. The people of San Diego shouldn’t have started an earthquake with something 100x stronger.
More seriously, really hope this isn’t the start of something bigger.

Worrying. A friend lives in Murrieta, midway between LA & SD, and felt the whole house shake...while another friend lives in El Cajon - the suburbs of San Diego. He was working in Oklahoma at the time and didn't even know about it. It took a text from me asking if everything was ok, for him to realise something was up, and call his missus at home!
I was in LA for when this one happened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_...t=At 4:57 a.m. local,for two to three minutes.

That must have been horrifying
The Hector Mine earthquake (7.1 if you're asking) happened when I was on my honeymoon in San Diego in 1999. Shook our building like nothing I've ever encountered before. Really quite scary. Cue jokes about "making the earth move" which I continue to make to this day.
It was weird. I was working at Long Beach for BA along with 10 others. We were standing in the car park of our hotel and the cars started bouncing. One chap was in the shower and thought the building was collapsing, it didn’t. It was during a busy period and to hear the city go silent was very odd.That must have been horrifying
'Weird' is the right word. I woke up as it happened thinking I was pissed.

There will be 4.0 when WHU’s third goal goes in at 78 minutes and the ground empty’s

We were top of the north south in New Zealand and hit by a 6.3 tremor and the raw power of mother nature can be incredible and absolutely nothing you can do. This tremor was several hundred kilometres away and very deep but then again i believe that The Cook Strait sits on two major plates ?
