SkinsOrlando Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsww/Quakes/usgvbk.htm Appears there's been a small quake in LA. Heard it was Eli's dreams shattering. In all seriousness though, hope all is safe and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Most people associate LA with Los Angeles and not Louisiana, particularly when the title refers to an an earthquake. A more specific title would probably be better. 3.0 is pretty small, couldn't have done any severe damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyG3 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I was just thinking - I didn't feel anything. LA is not L.A. And, yeah, 3.0 is hardly noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Had I not already read the news elsewhere, I immediately would have thought Los Angeles when reading this thread topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsOrlando Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Sorry for the confusion but the US post office abbreviates Louisiana, LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Not to put too fine a point on it, but the US (sorry, U.S.) Postal Service's abbreviations do not trump the entire planet's strong association between Los Angeles and earthquakes. This really is not as big a deal as I'm making it out to be. I'm just feeling argumentative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwebst1 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hell, there was a 4.0 earthquake in Maryland when I was in middle school or high school... I didn't feel $hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
