Seismic Waves
I’m a big fan of XKCD. Sometimes the maths in-jokes are a little (that is to say completely) over my head but this one is hilarious. Particularly as I witnessed it myself. @wilw yelped http://twitter.com/wilw/status/11609609414 and many other of the people I follow erm followed.
[From Seismic Waves]
I’ve been Twittering more than blogging these days, I have to say that I think I might be getting a little bored by the Internets. Sure there is still a lot of interesting stuff out there but I’m not sure that I care enough to write about it. That said I have been thinking a lot about writing again these days. Inspiration may be coming my way.
[UPDATE] – I would just like to point out that I in no way find earthquakes or the damage that they cause funny. I understand that people were hurt in this seismic event and two died. According to the Guardian over 20 million people felt it.
Mexico and US rocked by earthquake
The Guardian World News 05/04/2010 11:15
Two dead in border town of Mexicali as buidings shake and roads suffer major structural damage in 7.2 magnitude quakeA 7.2-magnitude earthquake yesterday struck cities in northern Mexico and southern California, tearing up roads, making buildings sway from Los Angeles to Tijuana, and leaving at least two people dead in Mexico.
Mexican officials said at least one person died in a collapsed house and about 100 more were injured in yesterday’s quake, one of the strongest in the area for decades.
Another person, who panicked as the ground shook, ran into the street and was struck by a car on a darkened street in Mexicali, a border city near the epicentre of the quake, that was almost entirely without power.
The earthquake struck at 3.40pm (10.40pm GMT) about 38 miles (60km) south-east of Mexicali, according to the US Geological Survey, with a shallow depth of six miles. Three aftershocks of magnitudes 5.1, 4.5 and 4.3 followed within the hour, and dozens of smaller tremors struck later.
“It sounds like it’s felt by at least 20 million people at this point,” USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said. “Most of southern California felt this earthquake.”
