I did however have read this before.

Stick to making sammiches.

Someone just ask about the navy sitting off something that may cause this.
total idiot question asked by a dumbass who just happened to realize the epicenter is around a Naval Air Base

Don't laugh. If you've been following the Area 51 threads you know the're playing with fire out there.

I don’t need to Google to know that
However its painfully obvious when you copy and paste the shite you get off the Internet

You’re full of shite but that’s par for the course.
^^ This is copied and pasted.
So is this:

With this special alloy, the bars would still bend as they shake, but they’d return to their original shape, preventing a permanent tilt in the columns that render a bridge

So is this:
quote:
Older overpasses, with rigid joints and columns, are being retrofitted to flex in order to stand up to a quake. To keep them from collapsing like the failed Newhall Pass interchanges, the bridges and overpasses are being strengthened with steel cable and spiral column supports, with enlarged footings and deep pilings in soft soil. “It’s important to design something that, in a strong enough earthquake, will bend instead of break,” Wiseman said. “We have folks around the world who turn to our seismic engineers for advice.”

You copy and pasted a sentence from a Seattle newspaper from a story published in 2017 regarding an idea about a flexible bridge to be built in Seattle????
Bella, go to bed. You’re in over your head

Watching CNN and you would think Cali just slid into the ocean.
All the drama yet not a single proof of evidence of any damage.
TD has shown more coverage of the quake than CNN.

these news anchors talking about this alert system that can count down to the second when someone can expect to feel shaking once an earthquake is detected...
that's freaking baller... not gonna lie

It’s still basically the same technology DA
Are you drunk?
The roads/bridges in earthquake zones are made like this. Seattle is one of them.
I’m not arguing with you in a very serious thread.

According to Bella Cali is built for these types of events. Nothing to worry about

Tell us more about how Seattle and LA are built the same way to withstand earthquakes
What makes the two cities so alike when it comes to building codes?
Posted on 7/5/19 at 11:57 pm to tgrbaitn08
Obviously there are things that just will not survive a major earthquake but earthquake prone cities certainly have engineered roads and structures much differently than say here.
Posted on 7/5/19 at 11:57 pm to tgrbaitn08
Now up to 22 quakes in the last 36 hrs

Nah I’m sitting on top of the New Madrid fault waiting on our turn to die.
Posted on 7/6/19 at 12:02 am to Tester1216
there's already been ~50 aftershocks recorded by the USGS since the 7.1 quake

Back in 08 I felt the one in Southern IL while at a hotel in Chicago. That was only a 5.4 or so, several hundred miles away, but the hotel very noticeably swayed. Kinda wild. Apparently the shockwaves travel farther and stronger in the Midwest due to the bedrock.
First and only quake I've felt.
