Russ Geezer Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 5357 Loc: SOCAL	A magnitude-4.6 quake isn't "very small", it isn't very big, but it isn't very small either, as I recall 4.6 is considered "light". Mag 1's and 2's could be classed as very small (micro and minor). Aren't semantics great? _________________________ Better is the Enemy of Good Enough. Okay, what’s your point??

Yeah, a magnitude 6.4 is only 63 times stronger than a magnitude 4.6 earthquake. (Don’t you love logarithmic scales?) _________________________ “Hiking is just walking where it’s okay to pee.

Susan Geezer Registered: 01/21/04 Posts: 5163 Loc: W. WA	"Did it wake you up?" I was awake. All I could think was that if that was a forerunner of a Big One, I'm sitting on a hill created out of fill, and there are probably at least a hundred overpasses between me and home. Sue
