i felt the earth quake for about 8 seconds no damage nothing fell.
Big shake tonight 4/25 at 11:40 p.m. I live behind Slot world. This one shook the house hard enough to wake up my stepson.
lava flow to the surface around verdi?
I live in stead as i was reading comments about the earthquake i just felt one its around 5;12 pm. last night at 1;30 am and the 2 yesterday around 3;30 PM. I lived in California most of my life so earthquake was just away of life,but now i remember my many years of experience. dealing with the what ifs ,is the big one coming ? is mother earth trying warn us that something has to give or else.
Felt only one here. Last one we had a few years back, dog went crazy--this time neither dog nor cats reacted. Just a short jiggle with a lot of groaing and creaking of the house. Not bad at all, this time!!
I live near UNR on a mountain top. I only felt one of the quakes. The mountain must have absorb the shaking. It's so expensive to live up high, I guess it's worth it now.
Channel 8 news had the earhquake breaking news right away. and had good info. channel 2 news on the other hand, they need to get their heads out of there #$%@*
Felt two more this morning (2-25), fairly decent if they were enough to wake my family and I. Anyone seen the movie "Tremors?" :P
I was in the backyard with my dogs moving sprinklers, talking on the phone with the Chief's wife when she said "Did you feel that, we had an earthquake" I was walking anyways so I missed it. Then I went upstairs in my house and checking my computer when I definitely felt the bigger one. I miss earthquakes after living in California. Today's quakes were nothing much. I was in the mira Loma one and that was an earthquake. I was also in an earthquake in Taiwan on the 10th floor of the Taipei Regency and the building swayed by nearly a foot, furniture fell over and I lay flat on the floor until it was over because you could not stand up. Hope the buildings around here are prepared for an earthquake. People need to inspect their gas and propane fittings. My house is very sturdy, 2X6 construction and it did not really move anything.
We felt it. Very scary. Items fell off wall. Wife wants to move back to Calif. No one told us when we bought here that we would have this many quakes. Baieligh and Dutton who built our house should have disclosed this info to us. Some neighbors are thinking about going further to get the truth. We have worked very hard to get this house and if we have the big one all our hard work will go down the drain. We lived in the Oakland hills right on the fault line our whole life and the only other big quake that I have lived through was the 1985 quake. The Reno ones have been allot stronger than I can ever recall. I do not like them and my wife is scared out of her gore and my 2 year old thinks they are fun, but he is 2 and does not understand. I think it is time to get Earthquake insurance. Who cares what the cost is. It will be worth it in the long run. We are above Sommerset.
I was in for the day visiting my mother near Kietzke & S. Virginia (I live in Fernley) and we were enjoying a movie together when the first one hit. I honestly thought that it was someone running or walking very hard on the roof. They have been remodeling her complex and we really didn't think anything of it. Then the 4.2 hit and that REALLY shook the place up! We didn't have anything hit the floor but, we sure felt it! I'm originally from the midwest & we don't have earthquakes in general there but, after 14 years of living in Reno, I've kind of gotten used to the idea of them happening out here occasionally. We were a little shaken up for a few minutes after that but, turned on KOLO and saw the bottom... needless to say, things were explained he he!
I thought it was my lady friend rocking my world.
originally from NY so not used to moderate to big ones. The 4.2 one kinda freaked me out for a while. Neither my cat nor my bird reacted oddly.
I was in my livingroom sitting down at my desk on my computer and all the sudden everything glided to the left and back and rite away I grabbed my 2 year old son and shouted to my sister sitting on the recliner "earthquick" and she said "I that it was the upstairs" and all the sudden here comes the after shock and she said " Another one" I thought I moved out of the bay area but we get the same earthquicks here like over there. I just hope Nevada never has to experience the 1989 Mira Loma quick like the bay area because that's nothing nice.
I felt 2 very strong quakes that made pictures fall off the wall and tables, plants fall to the floor, tv's dancing on their stands, building shake and windows rattle......it was like nothing i have ever felt before. I have been in several hurricanes but at least you get a warning. Did anyone;'s animals act strange during and after??..mine were terrified!!!
