| #6 they've ordered a watch here in SoCal for 8"-25". Pray for us (/sarc). Rather, pray for our Samoan bruthas et al! |

| #5 Thus far here on Guam, besides the usual EM skybursts oer Hagatna Bay + now Southern Guam, there was nuthin except a very brief rumbling noise, seeming to escalate then suddenly stop. BARELY FELT ANY SHAKES = TREMORS - IMO the EM skybursts + escalating rumbling was more significant than any ground motions. I will add, though, that I was times feeling dizzy prior to the quake, i.e. losing my normal balance andor momentum. |
