You know, my cousin in Chico mentioned that they had a bit of a shaker. Way north, right?
Still, they build and expect shakers there as they do here. Ever look at the data sheets? Surprised me to see that the biggest US earthquakes were CA and TN! I would have guessed CA but Tennessee? Yup. Biggest lake to me is Reelfoot that was formed when a massive shaker got the Mississippi flowing backwards for a time in the 1800s.

Here's hoping the country can recover quickly. Can't imagine how bad it is overthere right now.
There was an earthquake near Eureka (a city about 200 miles north of here) a few days ago and it was 6.0 on the Richter scale. There was damage, but no injuries.

Flip on CNN or Fox. It is all over the news. They really don't have a judge on the damage but I just came from the other half of the island in the República Dominicana and can vouch that the place was already a mess. Natural disasters on top of one of the biggest slums I have ever seen and I didn't even cross into Haiti.
I am guessing that it will be bad once they access the damage. I knew they had a fault line running under the country but a 7.0 is going to be massive in certain parts of the country as they didn't build to withstand such damage. I sit on the New Madrid fault and even have earthquake insurance.

No, I missed it. Been looking at the weather lately. How much damage? BTW, good to see you haunting the boards again.
