First earthquake I ever felt
Мало того, что на юге Калифорнии пожары, СФ правда это не касается, но зато у нас тут свои приколы - трясло нас вчера. Я сначала не понял что происходит, думал метро под землей прошло, но потом понял что в этой местности где был метро не ходит, вторая идея была может на верхнем этаже здания, под крышей которого я в тот момент находился, ремонт какой-то устроили, но и верхнего этажа здания там не было. Неплохо нас тряхонуло короче, первый раз почувствовал землетрясение. Так мало того, что землетрясение, так еще и по шкале Рихтера 5,6 баллов (мы находимся в 80-100 км от эпицентра, я представляю как хорошо тряхануло тех кто возле эпицентра). Это было самое сильное землетрясение в этой местности с 1989 года. Вот так и живем...
Вот из новостей:
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck in a rural area about 9 miles northeast of San Jose, California, Silicon Valley's biggest city, last night, causing minor damage.
The earthquake was felt across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond just before 8:05pm (local time).
There were no immediate reports of major damage but the San Jose Mercury News Web site reported phone service failed in a part of Palo Alto, home to Hewlett-Packard computer company and Stanford University.
It said the quake caused minor damage and residents poured out of apartments in downtown San Jose to survey the damage. San Jose in the 10th most populous US city.
"It was pretty significant. you could actually hear the rumbling of the ground. It was a good shake," said Nick Muyo, a spokesman for the San Jose Police Department.
Residents of San Francisco, 50 miles north of San Jose, and Stockton, the same distance to the east, reported feeling Tuesday's quake.
It was the strongest tremor in the Bay Area since 1989, when a magnitude-7.1 quake killed 62 people.
