Portland Earthquake?
 

WTF was that? My entire house just shook one time real fast. Kinda like somebody hit the foundation with a big ass sledge hammer. I literally saw the entire room get jared.

Weird as fuck.

I went ouside to see if sombody drove their car into my place or something.

im going to call my boy in PDX right now.

:winkwink:

is 503 near you Aaron?

im planning a trip to see some friends and am just curious.

thats the area code i am dialing right now.

503 covers 1/3 of the state. Yes, I am in 503.

Oh My! My monitor shook like crazy about 5 minutes ago. I thought it was a big truck or something, but there was none...

I'm calling my wife in the Wells Fargo building.

Tell her to quit while she is ahead. I worked there for almost 4 years. What a fucking waste.

shit youre right.

the rest is 234.

i forgot ;)

is that near you then?

503-234-0000

i felt it too

Not sure. Shitloads of prefixes around here. What part of the city is he in?

She's a paralegal working for the Portland Chapter 13 Trustee. What did you do there?

She didn't feel anything but people are talking about it. They are covering it right now on Channel 49.

3.1 about 10 miles north west of Portland. Just a little local one, but very shallow. Preliminary depth is 10K.

What matters is that if the quake forces you to move to another office please make sure to update your 2257 info.

Thanks

I just called my mommy who is working at Blue Cross, about 3 blocks from the Wells Fargo building. She felt nothing.

no clue.

he didnt answer so i couldnt ask, i left a message telling him i needed some PDX herbs.

im planning a road trip there ;)

:1orglaugh

you guys are all wrong - it was me, I drove into all of your places with my pickup, then hi tailed it outta there

It was a disgruntled 2257 non-compliant content provider, that found his name have a big "N" on your list. :winkwink:

they ran out of prefixes.

503/971 is now the portland metro area and such.

541 is the rest of the state..

Yeah man, I Felt it too.

We lost power and phone, and all the books and shit are on the floor here.

My window in the office is cracked, and the Police and fire dept are running down my street like crazy.

This is bad.

I think they just called the national gaurd to come watch over some of the stores.

This is fucking crazy!

I never knew a 3.1 could be so powerful!

Dude I think it was something else like a bomb. Cause it sure felt stronger thatn 3.1

Give us a call when you are in town bud.

hope everyone is okay

That was just a really big fart I let out to see what I could shake up in P- town. cover your eyesit might burn a little, my ass is on FIRE.

What magnitude was it?

felt like a 9.0 when it came out of my asshole at 90 mph

3.1 and it was already mentioned above in this thread.

waiting for the tsunami now...

.

maybe you bought a shit house, and its sinking...

I miss Portland.

One of these days I think the entire west coast is going to shake rattle and roll.

I left after the '94 quake in Northridge.

Has anyone heard about the overdue 9 magnitude earthquake thats predicted? Thats supposed to happen 200 miles off the Washington coast. That would completely flatten every structure in the Puget Sound region and severe damage in Portland and B.C. :uhoh

You must have gone to the same high school that I did jim...my science teacher was all about teaching us that back in the day. I thought we were all gonna die.

But that's Stadium's crazy ass teachers for ya.

Noon? wtf was I doing at noon?? I think I was just gettin out of the shower. I'm in s.w. Portland and I didn't feel a thing :D

It must have been shallow for such a microquake (scientists term, not mine). Really suprised it knocked out power and everything.
We've been having a lot between 2-3 on richter scale in Washington State over the last year. I never feel them.

But I'll never forget the 6.2 Seattle had back in february of 2001.
Had JUST gotten out of bed and my naked bod was being tossed from one side of the hall to the other side as I was trying to get down it (and my cat goes screaming by me heading for the closet). Then I realized I should wear SOMETHING as I was trying to get outside. Got my robe and then as I was about to open my door (on top floor of apt building at the time), thought to myself "PLEASE let the stairs still be there!" I just KNEW they had to be gone. I've never been hit by 3 distinct waves that lasted 45 seconds like that quake did. Man..scariest shit one can experience.
