Thats a big one. I've felt a score since I was a lad but the 6.9 we had in '89 was a whole nuther ballgame.
Loma Prietto, right? Mag. 6.9


The one televised during a baseball game?

About 90%[2] of the world's earthquakes and 81%[3] of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The next most seismically active region (5–6% of earthquakes and 17% of the world's largest earthquakes) is Alpide belt, which extends from Java to the northern Atlantic Ocean via the Himalayas and southern Europe.[4][5]
All but three of the world's 25 largest volcanic eruptions of the last 11,700 years occurred at volcanoes in the Ring of Fire.[6]
The famous and very active San Andreas Fault zone of California is a transform fault which offsets a portion of the East Pacific Rise under the southwestern United States and Mexico; the motion of the fault generates numerous small earthquakes, at multiple times a day, most of which are too small to be felt.[8][9]

Specifically, right before Game Three of the 1989 World Series . . .


Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

. . . and the way it shook Candlestick Park prompted some wags to call the ballpark Wiggly Field . . .

Thats the one, it occurred during the Giants/A's World Series pregame.

Earlier, lighter shakers did nothing to prepare me for a relatively big one.

People's behavior in the aftermath taught me something about our society too. I got the strong impression it wouldn't take a very big push for the wheels to come off.

People up on their rides at Disneyland, I admit, that'd be pretty scary say, if one was at the top of a roller coaster or something. Thank goodness, everyone is okay, no one hurt.

Our neighbor had water splash from their pool, via an overflow, into the street last night while folks were outside talking in the street.

Friday night was a bit stronger than Thursday.

No panic. Simply walk into hall.

The best earthquake song of 'em all:

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Written by Rodney Crowell.

Recorded by The Seldom Scene, the great bluegrass/acoustic band based in the DC area. From the 1975 "New" album.

The lead singer is John Starling, who in real life was an ear/nose/throat surgeon and who just passed on a few weeks ago. A younger Linda Rondstadt helped out on the chorus.

Are you sure that is from 1975 and not 1985 or some year. He mentions the year 1983 in the lyrics.

"California Earthquake (A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On)"

There was a California earthquake in the year of '83
It shook the living daylights out of the Owens County Seat
There weren't a building still left standing when the dust had cleared away
Just a rumble in the distance all the way to San Andrea

How 'bout 1883?

(I bought that album in 1975).

Good luck with that.  It's CA.

The question is,

Does anything think this is a foreshadow of a larger one to come?. Or the big one?

I'll defer to those with more scientific knowledge than mine.  What I keep hearing is that those of us in the east are due for a major quake.

But then I guess seismology, like so many other sciences, has its share of doomsayers  -- i.e., quacks.
