Anyone feel it?

I'm in LA. I didn't feel a thing.

1. I'm surprised anyone noticed.

4. We have hundreds of those a month.
Why would anyone even report it?

10. I think it had to do with her technical issues.
She lost contact with someone on the phone.

7. A 2.0 is barely noticible...
...even if you're standing right on top of the fault.

I read an article where someone once wrote something like "if you want to claim clairvoyance, predict that there will be a 2.0 earthquake in Southern California in the next three weeks -- it will happen practically every time."

8. The reason Randi mentioned it is because the earthquake somehow interrupted her phones.
I grew up in San Francisco and have lived in LA for 15 years, so I know earthquakes. I was just wondering if anyone felt it. I am surprised that something like that could interrupt her phone system.

That's all.

15. I doubt that's the reason her phone was interrupted
that would be real odd. Maybe thunderstorms in the area?

19. I thought a 2.0 was pretty light to cause such a problem, but then I thought maybe she was wrong on
the actual intensity of the quake. Maybe it was more than 2.0? She said she could see, via webcam, the guy manning the phone system actually shake around. I thought that seemed odd. But since I'm 87 miles away, what do I know?

21. I heard that
Hope everyone there is okay.

It's so good to have Randi back again! I didn't understand her comments about Al Franken though.

22. Somebody needs to take Randi aside gently and inform her that this
is not even remotely news.

2.0? 1.5? ROFLMAO.

24. Well, to be fair, she didn't do a whole segment on it. She mentioned it because of the phones.
I've lived in CA all my life and I've never heard of a 2.0 causing this much damage. I don't think my OP was the best written ever, as you can see from all the responses! :rofl:

23. And who did she say caused them? Or if you prefer, let them happen?
