EARTH QUAKE

[Chukar60]

We just had an earthquake here in Idaho.
6.4 at the epicenter. Here in the Boise area i believe it was a lot less severe. Shook the house for about 15 seconds.
My stupid dogs slept through it. No odd behavior or anything else. I must have some pretty insensitive dogs. Off to sensitivity training tomorrow.

Please one catastrophe at a time.

Please one catastrophe at a time.

Doubt there was much damage done. Epicenter was in a pretty remote area and here in the population center it was pretty mild,
Thank God.
As you said one catastrophe at a time is plenty

Please one catastrophe at a time.

We had a major tornado Saturday in NE Arkansas. It seems when it rains it pours. The one silver lining is it hit the main part of town and the mall, which were closed or with few around due to the virus.

Jonesboro remains under curfew after EF-3 tornado destroyed dozens of homes

WOW! My Grandfather clock stopped at that exact time!
Just like last year with an earthquake in Montana!

Funny but my wife asked me about an hour ago if I felt it here in Spokane.
I was walking around the house so the answer was no. She felt it because she was sitting at her desk in her home office.

Thankfully the epicenter near Challis, ID is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. About 100 miles east and 30 miles north of Boise and 150 miles west and 30 miles north of Idaho Falls. Doesn't look like there is much in the area to sustain a lot of damage. Being a 6.5 only 10km (6 miles) deep, the same quake centered on a major city would have been pretty bad.

It's a good thing it was in the middle of nowhere, because those Tsunamis in Idaho can ruin your whole day!

Great. I'll send em my book from my last session.
Maybe they'll make more sense of it than I did.
I'm retired. I don't gotta give a ____ anymore.

Thanks Boatme99. With the virus shutdown it looks like I will be home schooling.
The prognosis is bleak.

Well God does indeed have a sense of humor. This is the link to the local news about the quake. Take note of the landmarks used for describing the location of the epicenter

Yeah I live in Memphis. It just missed the paint company's store I worked for. We seem to be the new tornado alley, That's four since last fall within 50 miles of me. An EF1 missed my house by two miles back in October.

We hve some friends in Eagle. I wonder how they felt it? Will have to call them tomorrow.

As sheepdog said, "Please one catastrophe at a time."
Amen to that.

Our Raspberry Shake Seismograph that rests on our home's foundation here in Western Washington registered the initial quake and a few of the more than two dozen aftershocks since then. Here's a screen capture of the 6 5 magatude quake with location, travel time and other details:

Mother Nature playing a cruel and early April Fool's joke on us. I was
rudely awakened from my after dinner snooze. Knew immediately what
was happening because I have been through several quakes in the past.

Our little female Havanese was weirded out by it, but the male was
cool and calm, which is his nature.

Boonies: Far away from anything. 100 mile trip = a run to town for almost anything. parts, food, visit gun shop, saddle shop. In much of the inter-mountain west almost everything is 100 miles away. In my part of SW Wyoming we didn't feel the quake but it was felt in SLCity, 200 miles West.

Our Raspberry Shake Seismograph

I had never heard of this product, but just looked it up—very nice and interesting. I did not think anyone had a seismograph but research universities and the government. Surprisingly affordable too. Thank you for posting.

Right? I'm just waiting for tornado season to get here...

 

[Mule Packer]

Ms. Judy felt it. I didn't notice it. I was outside doing chores. My horse was acting crazy and running around the pasture. The mules, however, acted as though it was nothing to worry about. You don't sweat the small stuff, and to a mule, it's all small stuff.

 

[rubiranch]

Its gotten soo bad in CA that even the earthquakes are moving to ID.

Neighbours up the street have a couple. Love 'em.

Now that made me "Laugh-Out-Loud"......

You're welcome. Many of us on this forum also have safes bolted to our homes' foundations, so this personal Seismograph can do double duty as an EXCELLENT motion sensor to detect any attempted break-ins. The Raspberry Shake is sensitive enough to pick up a car idling in the driveway.

Our sensor is part of a cluster of about two dozen such devices here in the Puget Sound region. Raspberry Shake offers a web interface with a map overlay of their online network. In this area we are actually able to notice a decrease in the "background noise", showing a slight reduction in ground movement caused by reduced human activity during the current period of social isolation. It's pretty darn cool...

Going around...

I have all the equipment to put a seismograph together. Just haven't figuered out where to put it.

Mine is under my workbench, perfectly level and resting directly on the concrete foundation slab. The Raspberry Shake requires an Ethernet connection, so I've hooked it up to a wireless client bridge that communicates via WiFi to the router.
