Seems like a lot of quakes the past few days. 7.6 is pretty serious. The '06 quake in San Francisco was 7.9. The Loma Prieta was only 6.9.

I was in the Loma Prieta quake and it definitely was rock and roll at 6.9

I don't want to see anything stronger.

So far there are no reports of major damage, and only one death.

You just know that a few seconds before the first tremor hit in Aquila, Mexico,

some father told his son, "Tira de mi dedo, chico"

Anything over 5 gets your attention.

Over 6, the alarm bells are ringing and damage is possible.

Over 7, yeah, stand-by for more and check your surroundings

St. George, Utah just had a reported 4.4 earthquake. No great shake, but I guess it is for them.

The good news is that it was in a remote area. Also, saw they had a M5.3 after shock 85 minutes later.
