RN, Beckie, did they test for Valley Fever? There is Valley Fever where you live. If the dog was on the streets for a while before being put up for adoption, or near areas where there was construction so the soil was disturbed, an animal can get Valley Fever. I was in Merced County when I got my dog from the shelter. They tested for distemper, parvo and valley fever. He was a very sick boy, but was given the baytril and a few weeks later (after even the best vet told me he might die--and i had to keep him in the car until the vet's office was free of other pets due to possible spreading of whatever he had) he was fully recovered. He is now 4. Kendall unfortunately got healthy enough to clear a 5 foot high cyclone fence and he goes where he pleases

rn, tabby...i know they took a blood and then some samples from his eyes, but i'm not sure what exactly all they tested for. the only thing that they told us was that he had that tick borne parasite. he was invested with ticks when we got him, so my mom and i are hoping that's it, but if he isn't getting better (have an appt on friday)...i'll ask if they have tested for valley fever.

i know if you aren't born in the valley (san joaquin) and you move here, you are susceptible to the valley fever, but if you are born here, you aren't as likely to catch it.

It sure did go on and on. My poor little plant next to my sofa shook for quite some time. My lamps were also swaying.

This EQ was the strongest I've felt in many, many years. A few of our knickknacks fell to the ground. We're within 10 miles of the epicenter. We have a 2 story house and I could hear a type of cracking noise upstairs, as if someone was jumping up there and then BOOM!, a big jerk type of movement and then the slow, gradual movement and rumbling sounds til it stopped. This one grabbed my heart! Harley and Dixie we're stunned and didn't even bark until it was over and all the other dogs in the neighborhood started barking.

out here in Riverside which is over an hour away from Eggie I felt it but it wasnt like the typical earthquake, it was a little fast like jerk and at the same time I could hear rumbling in the distance. Dylan and I both said earthquake? and Bill said no, he didnt feel anything, and we were all within 3 feet of each other LOL

Glad you are ok Eggie and Yanks!

it really confused me at first....I thought it might be something outside because I live in downtown LA and you never know what's going on out there. But 5 seconds in it became clear that it was a pretty strong earthquake. I'm having a gout attack right now, so I'm not especially ambulatory, but I got myself over to my TV to make sure it didn't fall over. I have priorities!

The rolling part of the quake freaked me out, but rolling quakes always do. Thankfully, the only thing that happened was that one of my prescription bottles fell over.

Later I went upstairs and actually found items that had fallen over (small ones..) including a Mickey Mouse who took a nosedive into a wastebasket.. and a painting on an east/west wall at a goofy angle.

I wonder if that quake was on the Newport - Inglewood fault.. if so it would make sense that Eggie and I felt it (well Eggie is closer no matter WHAT fault it was on), but the N-I comes down through Long Beach.. the last really big quake was the Long Beach quake of 1933.. and goes through Culver City, Inglewood, Gardena, Compton, Signal Hill, Long Beach, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa

I live a couple of blocks from Huntington Beach and really close to Costa Mesa/Newport Beach too..

That fault continues down the coast of So Cal to Encinitas which probably explains why Julip felt it so strongly in San Diego County and I gather her DH was on the stairs and had some difficulty. I'm thinking Costacat felt it too.

Also would explain why Pamy and other inland empire folks wouldn't feel it as much.

Tisha.. the rolling quakes freak me out too.. though I remember when I worked in Long Beach on the third floor, we had a series of odd quakes and one of them bounced us up and down! That was pretty strange as well. That would have been early 80s.

RN we didn't feel anything up here, but saw it on a news blurb. We usually feel the LA centered ones up here, strange.

How many aftershocks have there been now? The blurb mentioned 1, but I haven't watched tv since then, that was about 9pm.

Suprisingly few aftershocks. I haven't felt any of them.. 2.5 3.1 1.6 and 1.8


LOCAL-TIME LAT LON DEPTH LOCATION
y/m/d h:m:s deg deg km

1.8 2009/05/17 22:23:20 33.923N 118.337W 15.4 1 km ( 1 mi) ENE of Hawthorne, CA

1.6 2009/05/17 21:48:25 33.934N 118.379W 15.5 2 km ( 1 mi) WSW of Lennox, CA

War, I suspect it really was on the Newport - Inglewood fault so not as likely to be felt out your way. I did see a couple of reports on the map from out there but mostly along the coaast and inland, from northern baja on up.

Yet again - didn't feel a thing here (just on the edge of Thousand Oaks into Simi Valley). We laughed - heard on the news this morning it was felt as far away as Carpinteria. We did not even have cocktails last night - not felt by humans or pets here.

Right now, Pamy, when we lived in San Francisco, I came to the conclusion that there are people who feel earthquakes, and people who do not. Bigdog and I are both people who do not. One time we were standing in a grocery store picking up a birthday cake for me to take to work, talking to a guy, and a all of a sudden he said, "whhhhhhoa" and another guy came running out from the back with a wild expression his his face. And we both said, "what?" And they both said earthquake. Neither of us felt a thing.

RN: Ok, weird. I am way up in N. Cal and I woke up in the middle of the night, well not quite awake, but felt some movements. I though maybe I was just dizzy, room moving, sleep/dream type thing. I wonder if it could have been tremors way up here.

RN: also, yay, we sold our truck this weekend!!!

Right now, Juju, I think you're right. I hardly ever feel earthquakes. I've never been afraid of them.

RN, we have enough with our snow, freezing temperatures, potholes and stuff. We don't want our pictures falling off of our walls, too! I'm just saying NO to earthquakes!
