Just got a text from my daughter in Los Angeles (Miracle Mile area). She was out running errands while she could. It's been raining and windy. She figured she better finish up errands early today. She parked in a newer underground parking garage by the store and her car started rocking back and forth from an earthquake. She said it lasted about 30 seconds.
I looked up USGS and Ojai, California was hit with a 5.1 and since then they've had 5 more of 3.1 - 3.6 magnitude.
Makes perfect sense
It doesn't. An average weight human with large feet puts around 3psi against the ground when walking. It goes up from there. This rainfall works out to 0.005 psi.
If the earth survives us, it'll survive rainfall.
The people were already there. The record rain fall wasn’t. Plus lubrication and liquefaction. Kinda does make sense
No, it still doesn't, and the water was elsewhere. The atmosphere took 0.005 psi from one part of the crust and moved it to another part of the crust. It's as flicking water from your fingertips onto your face.
Liquefaction is when the ground becomes like a fluid because of vibration from an earth quake..... You're of the mind that the rain also fell in perfect resonance with the earth to make it behave like a liquid? Because it wasn't heavy enough to do so.
Lubrication....you'd need the water to have penetrated the ground deep enough to trigger an earth quake and not be absorbed by that same ground before getting there. You'd need a lot more water and probably different types of rock.
Interdasting. So the earthquake is just bad timing then. Not mocking you, i need to get off the jump-to-conclusions mat kek.
Lol!
