» 55 TPS Reports

  1. Scot Z says:

    As a lifelong Californian, I can sleep through anything under a magnitude of 5.0. Hell, I slept through the Northridge quake and it was, IIRC, a 6.7! (I was really drunk at the time.)

    • dardub says:

      My bed was 3 ft in the air. That was a little tough to sleep through. Although I wasn’t too drunk since I was 12 at at the time.

  2. Mike says:

    I have a huge ding a ling.

  3. Sarah says:

    Forgot calling everyone you know to ask “Did you feel that?!?”

    • M4ce says:

      Also forgot “turning to your S/O and asking ‘Did the earth just move for you?’”

    • H3xx says:

      That too. This is the first graph that I’ve actually laughed out loud at in a long time! I’ve never experienced an earthquake, but as a Katrina “victim*” I think I’d prefer one or two, earthquakes.

      *I live in lower mid-state Mississippi, and Katrina wasn’t so bad for us. She just knocked out all our utilities for two weeks. The bad part started a few days after. We realized that all of the help was going to the coast, leaving local governments to fend for themselves. That was bad, and I cant even begin to imagine what Nawlins was like.

  4. Mariachi says:

    I live in Texas, we don’t have earthquakes, we’ve got tornadoes. Woooo

    • JaNeT says:

      Woooo rock on! From Iowa… we get them up here too! How Exciting! Wake up in the morning and see all the corn next to the house destroyed from a passing tornado and didn’t even wake up from wind that night! :D

      • Mariachi says:

        Yeah I know! i woke up one morning in April and almost all the chimneys in my apt complex were in the parking lot. I live about an hour south of Oklahoma so I’m right in the tornado valley as well

      • Homer says:

        Doesn’t anything happening in Iowa count as “exciting”?

        “Look Jethro! A red car! And it’s got sticker on its bumper! Wow that’s exciting!”

    • Seismically inclined says:

      Er, yes you do. Check out the D/FW area last year, around Grand Prairie, and the Panhandle.

      Oklahoma, too, but then again, it’s Oklahoma, so who cares?

      NB: Some of my ancestors came from Oklahoma, so it’s perfectly fine for me to poke fun at the Sooner State, because everyone wants to get out of there sooner.

      • Mariachi says:

        I’m in DFW and don’t remember any quakes. I’m like 15 min from GP too.

        And yeah…OU blows. Then again, I’m not a fan of any of the Texas schools either so……

    • Scot Z says:

      I think I’ll stick with earthquakes. They can be more devastating, but at least they’re not a seasonal occurrence. :)

    • jl5691426 says:

      What part of Texas are you in? We’ve had a rash of small quakes around Dallas-Fort Worth recently.

  5. Homer says:

    Can we combine the earthquakes graph with the New Jersey graph, and get rid if Jersey?

  6. whitey138 says:

    ugh…the shadow effect on the title hurts my eyes…

  7. pulled pork butt says:

    In Massachusetts we don’t have Earthquakes, we have THE RED SOX.

    • Seismically inclined says:

      Well, you do have earthquakes, they just don’t occur as often as on the Left Coast. 1755, for example. Probably had something to do with witches.

    • RSN for life says:

      After last night’s game, I would have preferred an earthquake. WTF, how do you blow a 9-1 lead!

      Still leading the division though!

    • CAPM says:

      Most of all, I would like a tobasco sauce enima

  8. Chass says:

    Awww, now I want an earthquake. We haven’t had one in like two years :(

  9. ... says:

    None of these things have ever happened. This graph is pure fail.

    • dardub says:

      Yeah I agree. If its small you barely notice it. If its medium one you run to a doorway or table and its over before you get there.

      • ed says:

        dang ppl loosen up. occur to you that it might have an alternate purpose besides being accurate? ever heard of laughs? jeez.

    • tinyeurekah says:

      you’d be surprised. this was made by my brother after we had an earthquake. and that small yellow pie wedge happened to the graph maker himself. ;)

  10. Ydobon says:

    What about searching the emergency box, checking it, realising the K-rations are out of date, eating them anyways and suffering a realy bad diarrhea?

  11. Chris says:

    Minor natural events like these also worm there way into trade chat in WoW, to the point of sheer annoyance.

  12. Yuval says:

    In Soviet Russia, earthquake has YOU!

  13. hangman says:

    Everyone seems to have forgotten the favorite after quake passtime of at least LA area residents, and that is guessing the number of the quake on the Richter Scale.

    • Seismically inclined says:

      It’s an all-over CA thing, not just L.A. :) I’m glad I live in probably the least-seismically active part of the Golden State (the closest big one was back in 1892).

      When I lived in Big Bear and Hector Mines (1999) hit, I told my wife “it’s at least a 7.0, and centered about 45 miles away to the northeast.” Pretty darned accurate for being rudely awakened at 2:45am.

  14. Danni says:

    Wow umm we just had one this morning in jersey lol

  15. Miroku says:

    I’m in the light blue part.

  16. Kalashnikov says:

    That graph seems a blue pacman!!!!

  17. Tuckerlol says:

    Very true. At least for the ones under 6.0. And ITA with the guessing the richter scale rating comment.

  18. Sparky says:

    Yeah… you forgot “Continue sleeping because they didn’t even feel it”….

  19. Hieran says:

    This one is good! My only suggestion would be to add a pie wedge for “have sex,” as I’ve heard a decent earthquake puts people in the mood. :-)

  20. Javier says:

    lol, i felt the earthquake at 1:40 in the morning here in Panama, i had to change my facebook status xD

  21. Heyimrandom says:

    I live in CA ever since i was born and only felt to effing SMALL earthquakes.

  22. Mystii says:

    not to mention that, some people that find out about the earthquakes make up fake charity organisations and trick people into ‘donating money to the poor and helpless’. people have been tricking others this way, A LOT.
