I was watching CNN today as I did my cardio.......there was an evac to the mountains because of tsunamis but they reported no tsunamis had arrived yet..... only power outages so far and no deaths or serious injuries either......i suspect his power is out......

if i'm not pulling this out of my ass, eathquake measurements run in tens.

so a level 1 is a certain movement, level 2 is ten times worse than 1, 3 is ten times worse than 2, etc. so yeah, 6.6 is pretty massive.

Earthquake is actually a friend of Onlyme's. They did an armwrestling movie together in 1983, and ran into each other on the set of a commercial in 87, where some amusing anectode to be told later was born. Also the two of them were training at the gym and they ran into the Barbarian Brothers and had a good laugh at what one of them said before shoulder pressing 660.

I thought each decimal point was ten times worse so 2 would be 100 times worse than 1 but I could be mistaken. Last time I read about earthquakes was a long time ago so my facts could be skewed.

Power Rod is right, a 2 is ten times as bad as a 1.

Hulkster · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2006, 04:32:24 PM »

correct. it is a logarithmic scale.

thankfully, CNN is reporting no fatalites so far.

Lets hope it stays that way

Apparently the power outages there are tremendous so if he is ok (and I hope he is) it isn't likely we will hear from him anytime soon.

You are correct. 1.2 is 10x worse than a 1.1
A 6.6 is fairly bad-the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 in Santa Cruz, effected the entire San Francisco Bay Area. From the Cypress Freeway in Oakland, the Santa Cruz mountains, to the entire Marine District almost going underground. The Loma Prieta was a 7.2 I think.

Earthquake (John Tenta) Actually died of cancer a few months ago unfortunatly.

it goes by the 10th power, not times 10 like power rod said.

Worst area affected was Kailua Kona, where Keith is. We got power back on Oahu at around 4 pm.

Onlyme caused the earthquake by falling out of bed.
