Just how bad are the earthquakes in Orange County? (Stanton: apartment complex, codes)

A 5.4 is a decent size but with much distance from it, you either won't notice it or could mistake it for a truck. I think yesterday's aftershock to Sunday's Baja quake was about that size. I was on the phone with someone 40 miles closer to it than I, and neither of us noticed.

Well that's fine and stuff but 99% is still a bold statement and it's not really true is all I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to be a smart guy or anything because your right, I don't live in California so what do I know? But statistically speaking it doesn't add up.

Would you be happier if I said 80%? Did you even look at the link I posted to the USGS web site? Whatever the number is, the overwhelming majority of quakes are too small, deep, or distant to be noticed. Some are just big enough to make you wonder if its an earthquake. Of the few that are actually felt strongly enough to leave no doubt in your mind about what's happening, a small percentage are strong enough to actually cause property damage. The ones that actually break stuff are a tiny minority of all quake activity.

And if you'd lived even a fraction of the years I've lived in California, you'd understand.

Next.

Of course he would be, as he doesn't know what he's talking about. Your 99% figure is RFO. (right f'in on)

I guess...I didn't mean to bother you with the details. But 99% simply isn't accurate and it just irked me. 80% works but I highly doubt that too. And yeah I been to that site thousands of times. I know the deal.

You don't have to live in California to understand! Get over yourself!

Everytime I talk to you, you come off really rude and I don't understand it. I never did anything to you so quit acting up. Dang.

That's why you keep getting in people's conversation. You don't know what the heck your talking about. You would know statistically it doesn't make any freaking sense. I tried to be nice. But you always have something slick to say and I gotta check you because that's how you wanna play.

Of the 100 most recent quakes in California (all happened today 4/9/10 BTW), 5 were a magnitude 3.0 or greater, the strongest being a 4.0. The median was a 2.0. Strong quakes are statistical outliers.

OK Fontucky: If you're so smart, which is it?

Team Kate
or

Aside from your personal issue with Fontucky, I must say that Fontucky knows more about California than many other posters including myself. I've learned a lot from him!
