CALIFORNIA — Five earthquakes were recorded within a 9-hour timeframe Monday morning throughout California’s coastline. According to the USGS website, the earthquakes were all between 2.5 and 4.1 magnitude and started around 12:17 a.m. in Boonville. (Snip) These come just hours after Japan was hit with over a dozen earthquakes that triggered tsunami warnings, with the largest recorded with a 7.6 magnitude that started fires and brought down several buildings.

I spent time studying protecting art museum statuary from earthquakes, learning at the Getty Museum in LA how to protect valuable antiquities. From my study, 2.5 won't be even noticable to most people and 4.1 would be noticed but cause very little damage, perhaps items falling off of shelves. Some protection to large statues should be in place for this level of quake, but it depends on the height to base size ratio. California residents.....please tell me if this estimate, which I was told by the Chief Conservator at the Getty Museum, matches with their experience.

Here it comes: GLOBAL WARMING!! Horseface (eg., Teresa Heinz's disgusting, disfigured, pompous, condescending, money-sniffing, jet-riding, yacht-sailing giggilo) will fly his stupid, drug-addled wife's private jet to the area in order to get some face time on TV, promise U.S. taxpayers' money to "help" folks who have more money than we have, and arrange for a large portion of said "help" to find its way into his and Bidet's private accounts. Bidet is already getting kickbacks from the drug cartels in Mexico and isn't even being challenged nor investigated. Horseface is simply getting in on the action. Why wouldn't he?? It isn't as if the Republicans in DC give ONE BIG DAMN.

These low level quakes relieve pressure. They're also completely unnoticeable without equipment to detect them. A 2.5 is similar to a big truck rolling by outside on the street. The big quakes come from pressure building up until it eventually snaps overcoming resistance with a huge shift. Those are the big ones that cause damage and death. You can look up how many quakes happen in California on the USGS site by location, time and strength. There are quakes literally every day, often several. This article is just filler noise. Nothing interesting at all to me as a (now recently former) life long Californian. A bunch of minor quakes? It's like saying the sun rose or there was snow in the mountains or the beach got wet.

Quake intensity drops quickly with distance. I was right on top of a 4.0 in 1989, that was pretty exciting. But 20 miles away most people didn’t feel it. CA does have quakes every day, most are small and go unnoticed. I suspect the reason this story appeared is because of the Japan quake. 63 year CA resident here, now a refugee living in Idaho for obvious reasons (not quakes).

Those little ones relieve presssure. Less chance of big one. Whenever I see someone wishing disaster on fellow Americans in California, I wonder how they square that with God. I have never known a Californian to wish for hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, etc., on their fellow Americans in vulnerable states.

Kinda fun when you feel "something" then notice the chandelier is swinging. Sitting on the couch when a larger one hits and you get a couple of waves that feel like sitting in a canoe when a power boat goes by. Other times a jolt and you wonder "a big truck and a pothole or a quake"? A little excitement. A big one - not so much, hang on to something. For those hoping California falls into the ocean, it is not that kind of fault. Seattle on the other hand..... You should wish for a large scale landslide in Hawaii (the big island splitting in two with one side dropping into the ocean depths) which could create a tsunami that would drown LA, the San Francisco bay area, Portland and Seattle. Then you might get the death toll you want.

CHICAGO – As the suburbs continue to take a stand on arriving migrants, Chicago is running out of funds to help them, and space to house them.

Despite a disappointing counteroffensive this summer and signs of wavering financial support from allies, Ukrainian soldiers say they remain fiercely determined to win. But as winter approaches, they worry that Russia is better equipped for battle and are frustrated about being on the defensive again in a grueling war. Some doubt the judgment of their leaders. Discontent among Ukrainian soldiers — once extremely rare and expressed only in private — is now more common and out in the open. In the southern
