You may know we have had serious earthquakes which killed a lot of people in Christchurch 2011 or 2012…About Feb, Im not sure the exact time but close to it
We had a friend of ours that was there as it happened, Sherrie. She and an Indian girl fell to the ground and were saved from rocks by being shielded by an art board she brought that day.
Yeah I have a little information about those events
We have earthquakes in our country too. Thank God, they are not as unimpressive as in your country.
May almighty save all from earthquake destruction
this quake wasn’t even on the San Andreas fault line, nor should it cause pressure to build up there…
Oh that too. True, its not even on the fault.
so I basically disregarded this one
I did as well. Rock and roll baby!!
Rock and roll. Just another day in LA
That’s really dangerous… powerful nature
Yeah , earthquake always left some stories behind
California is prone to earth quakes but this one seem quite severe.
Yeah , California become the center for earthquake
I live 175 miles away from this one. We did feel it.
Oh , It was very huge than ………
Earthquakes are very frightening and it is terrible that this happened right on July 4 the national holiday.
Yeah , It was very terrible earthquake.
Yes this one was all over the news here in the U.S.
Yeah , but California is very effected
Just ridgecrest. A very small town. It cracked a few buildings, and one road out in the desert. Things got thrown off shelves is all.
There is a lot of old buildings here in this town, a lot of old natural gas lines. The structure damage needs to be assessed in the whole town, that is why the mayor asked for a state of emergency. The news has really blown this out of proportion.
Even in our territory, earthquakes are a very rare and minor magnitude .. they are even stronger only far back
It was very huge and observed with high magnitude
I heard that there are two large tectonic plates that can move and a catastrophic earthquake
I heard about this earthquake on the news – how frightening! I hope California don’t get any more. No, we don’t get earthquakes here in England. There have been reports on the past though of tremors where people have felt buildings move etc.
Yeah , we lost 20 lives and some are missing , May almighty God save all – Ameen
There have been no deaths. Some people reported scratches from bottles falling off of shelves.
Oh my… earthquakes are frightening.
Yeah earthquakes are always frightening.
