4.7 earthquake in southern california

[dajuice]

It makes me shudder when I hear of earthquakes and my prized collection. This thread should be deleted.

It woke up everyone in our house - except our dog, who maintains a 100% success rate for sleeping through earthquakes.

Desensitized to earthquakes.

You live in the wrong state then.

Desensitized to earthquakes.

I have only been woke up by one in probably 25+ years.

5.1 yesterday. Seemed to last a while.

We've been having a **** ton of earthquakes in Oklahoma for the past 3-4 years or so. It's strange because I don't remember there ever being earthquakes here before.

I think it has slowed down a bit, but at one point there would be like 4.0-5.0 earthquakes every month.

End is near for your collectibles.

Damn! I didn't even feel that one.

Where was the epicenter?

Are these la earthquakes close to the area that is due to have a huge earthquake?

The San Andreas fault is one of the largest in so cal and would have a large effect over a very wide area from the high desert all the way to the coast. Also remember that San Francisco has a history of large quakes as well. People have been talking about the "big one" since I was a kid, and even though the Northridge quake was big with a lot of damage it wasn't the big one. I felt the one last night at around 8 and saw thing visibly moving in my home. I'd still take earthquakes over tornadoes and hurricanes and day of the week.

Yeah the theory is a little jolt every now and then is actually good because it relieves some pressure.
If the big one ever hits it'll be after a very long drought free of earthquakes or aftershocks.

Damn! I didn't even feel that on

Where was the epicenter?

La Habra.

 

[fistfulmetal]

I felt it big time. Very shaky motion as some of my figures started falling. Nothing broke and no damage to my home thankfully.

 

[wavestuff]

i didn't feel the last two but i hope we don't get any more

Quake hold my CA friends Quake hold.

 

[Centurion]

La Habra.

Thanks. I've become desensitized to most of 'em. LOL!

 

[jchu]

I just moved to La Habra last month and I can't believe the earthquake generated from there. It was crazy, we had 4 days straight of earthquakes there! Good thing I didn't finish displaying my collection.

 

[wavestuff]

lets hope there are no more shaky shakes

what's the best way to secure your statues asides from wall anchors for deltofs? Tacky putty for the base of statues or something like that- thanks in advance

First I would NEVER use those in CA. But if you are, I would secure the cabinet to wall, then add quake hold to all the bars that the glass attaches to and then quake hold the statues. I have use it on pretty much everything.
