Earthquakes

Just last week we had a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and I woke up with the news that we just had yet another one.

I caused the earthquake in your mom’s bed last night.

I was thinking of you the other day, when it happened. We get earthquakes too in California. The 1989 earthquake was less of a magnitude, but damn, it was intense. I was watching baseball (aka, “doing homework”) when it happened. The game got postponed. Our car in the driveway got shifted a couple of feet and lots of dishes broke. My wife’s house, at the time I hadn’t met her yet, was inhabitable. The chimney fell from the house and all the windows broke. It was no joke. Hope you and your family are well

Haha, thanks.
After the September 19th 2017 earthquake, a puny 7.5 can't scare me.
We have seismic alarms... we usually have at least 1 minute before the earthquake reaches the city, as most earthquakes in my country comes from the southern coast.
This is the sound of the seismic alarm... beware, it might give you chills.


This is the 2017 earthquake:



And this is last week's:


There's literally no comparisson between 2017 and last week's.

Yes I edited the last link because the video uploader blocked it's reproduction on foreign sites. I've changed the video.

About the California 6.9... Wow, that's quite big. The "normal" richter scale for earthquakes here in my country is 7 or more.
Like, literally the seismic alarms won't sound if they detect that the comming earthquake is less than 7.

So we can literally have 6.9 earthquakes and less than that without even noticing.
I think... the depth of the earthquake has a big role here.

To be honest, I didn't felt last week. Of course, my family and I evacuated our building, but as soon as we got in I immediately went to sleep five more minutes.
We didn't had electrical energy for about half day though, so I just slept all day.
I don't know why, but I find 6.9 in my standards/normal scenario...
