July 26, 20241 yr i let go of a massive fart around 25 mins ago... kinda felt myself levitate in my chair.... maybe it was the earthquake and not my release of 500psi of methane outta my ass? Edited July 26, 20241 yr by AUS-97HORN

July 26, 20241 yr I'm in my hometown right now and probably physically closer to the epicenter than 99% of Surlyites (~55 miles SW of the epicenter), but I didn't feel a thing.

July 26, 20241 yr I felt it but it was a little like throwing a hotdog down South Austin’s mom’s hallway.

July 26, 20241 yr I spent more than one Thanksgiving holiday as a kid building cotton modules for my grandfather near Camp Springs. Nothing to rattle out there but wind turbines and sneks. hits close to home/csb/
July 26, 20241 yr There has been a ton of activity in that area over the past few days. Hopefully this morning's M5 was the mainshock or we might get a bigger one in a few days

February 9Feb 9 Dang. Eight point zero, in the Caribbean, between Cuba and Honduras. The quake’s strength has been revised downwards. Now saying seven point six. Edited February 9Feb 9 by Willfully Horn

That is still a mean ass quake. Got flat plains in Central America and covs in PR/Hispanola. Cuba would be fucked.

February 9Feb 9 8.0 is pretty serious - I think the one that was the basis for this video (minus the Germans dancing or whatever) was in the 5 range. Need to find the original.
February 9Feb 9 Strike-slip fault so probably not too much big tsunami riskWas wondering if Galveston would get some surf out of it but I guess not
February 9Feb 9 Here is the latest from the USGS: Tectonic Summary The February 8, 2025, M7.6 earthquake southwest of the Cayman Islands occurred as the result of strike slip faulting in the shallow crust near the boundary between the North America and Caribbean plates. Focal mechanism solutions indicate that rupture occurred on a steeply dipping structure striking either west-northwest (right-lateral), or west-southwest (left-lateral). At the location of this earthquake, the North America plate moves to the west-southwest with respect to the Caribbean plate at a rate of approximately ~20 mm/yr. Local to the February 8, 2025 earthquake, this motion is predominantly accommodated along the Swan Islands transform fault, a left-lateral structure. The location, depth and focal mechanism solution of today’s earthquake are consistent with rupture occurring along this plate boundary structure, or on a nearby and closely related fault. While commonly plotted as points on maps, earthquakes of this size are more appropriately described as slip over a larger fault area. Strike-slip-faulting events of the size of the February 8, 2025, earthquake are typically about 140x20 km (length x width). Large earthquakes at this location of the plate boundary are not unexpected. Ten M6 or larger earthquakes have occurred within 250 km the February 8, 2025 earthquake over the preceding century. Notably, on January 10, 2018, an M7.5 earthquake occurred nearby with a similar mechanism. This 2018 earthquake caused some damage and a small tsunami. Luckily, the remote location of these earthquakes limits the potential for significant damage due to shaking.
February 12Feb 12 There is some crazy shit happening around Santorini in the Agean. There are some similar patterns to the last big quake in Turkey. It might be a bad valentines day(moon is moving to same alignment as when that happened). https://www.sciencealert.com/earthquake-swarm-emergency-in-santorini-after-thousands-of-quakes
February 12Feb 12 well... considering there is ample evidence that Santorini is now heavily considered to be the basis island for the Atlantis myth, and all kinds of evidence to show that the volcano underneath is capable of throwing out a VEI 6 level of shit.... this could be concerning. or its just a normal little one that pops a bit of smoke and fire and we all go on our merry way

February 15Feb 15 5.0 earthquake in west Texas late last night. Also, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE USGS MAP SYSTEM?! https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/tx2025deqh/executive

February 28Feb 28 4.8 a little bit ago. I didn't exactly "feel" it, as in experiencing any shaking, but it was almost like a giant gust of wind was trying to lift the roof off the house with the creaking and groaning from the attic, but, for once, there was no wind. Kind of unnerving. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/tx2025edml/shakemap/pga
February 28Feb 28 One of these days I'll be able to read the beach ball diagrams. I've seen so many videos and still don't know how to read them.
