Nothing to write home to Momma if you live in California.
We have those on an almost daily basis.
but most of the world would suffer some substantial damage with anything close to a 5er.
Yeah one of the ladies I talk to lives in the area where they had the quake. Supposedly it was a 5.9
I live in southern california. Ss you said quakes are normal for us. We had a 3.0 quake pretty recently. The major danger is poor construction/engineering. Cheaply and poorly designed buildings crumble and take people with them. I'm waiting for the one that's supposed to cause California to break off and become an island.
I called to Moldova that next morning with some trouble but once I got through it was fine. I got several "the number does not exist but I was calling a cell number. My girl said her area reported a 6.0 near the capital. Groon I would put my money in a boat not hopes that it will float...lol.
Yes I spoke with mine that very next afternoon. She was frightened but said there was no damage in her area. Just that the news said it was around 6.0. Starting to sound like a Microsoft convention...lol Anyway I am hopeful that is most likely the first place I will visit this spring or late winter. I think I will make it to Riga as well despite the latest forcast there as I have good friends there as well.
