Quake...the real kind

[Dutch]

Being from California, I always get asked about earthquakes and if I worry about them happening. To be honest, I've only ever felt 3 of them...including an hour ago. I was just sitting here staying up late working on the mod when a 6.0 quake hit nearby. I haven't heard any reports of damage yet but that ****** felt BIG. So I guess for once, this fits the California stereotype lol.

It sound pretty dangerous, but from that description it doesn't sound like anything to worry about, just make sure you have the right safety precautions just in case.

How strong is a 6.0?

Do you feel a slight tremor or does stuff go flying?

What with sinkholes, quakes and tornado alley, do you fancy moving to Australia?

See you in five minutes, I will put the kettle on.

This is kind of off-topic, but is there a Quake mod that has actual quakes?

If not, why not?

ROGUE/DoE (second mission-pack) has earthquakes in one (or two) of the maps

and seven's SMC has random light quaking every few minutes

I remember the quake in the mining level and the last DoE level with the boss but that's it I think.

I will check out the mod you mentioned, thanks.

the SMC has had random quakes since V4.50 (from almost a year ago)

Hahaha sounds good! I was far enough away to just feel a pretty good shake but Napa (the town it was near...that a all that fancy wine country) got destroyed.

They upgraded it to a 6.1, which is very big. The Richter scale is a log base 10 scale, each step up is 10x greater than the last. So going from a 5 to a 6, for example, is exponentially worse than going from a 2 to a 3.

Guess we must be kinda close Dutch. Cause I felt it this morning too.

My window shaking woke me up, and when I stood up, I was wondering if I should run to the doorway. Then I enraptured by the floor moving and swaying for a short while (I'm on the second story). Nothing was broke or out of place afterwards, so I just went back to sleep. Apparently it was much worse for the Napa area.

I drove through one some year's back out in California near Fresno. It was small but even driving down the road you could feel it. I searched for weeks on end trying to find a report of it then i realized that it was not a Quake at all, I farted and shook the seat.

It happens.

On a serious note. Praying for those in Napa and those effected by it.
