Giant fissures appear near epicenters of California's major earthquakes

There were multiple fissures that broke the ground in the Mojave Desert in southern California on Thursday and Friday after two major M6.4 and M7.1 earthquakes struck the area. The power of nature is amazing... And these deep fissures near Ridgecrest, California are just terrifying!

On the Fourth of July, people from Los Angeles to Las Vegas felt the ground shake. Books fell off library shelves, trees collapsed, and cracks spidered through building walls and highway asphalt.

The magnitude 6.4 earthquake was centered in the California city of Ridgecrest, about 175 miles northeast of Long Beach. It ended a five-year drought in California's seismic record: Before yesterday, the ground had not shook in the state since a magnitude 6 quake struck Napa in August 2014, causing $1 billion in damages.

Then, a 7.1 magnitude quake centered about 11 miles north of Ridgecrest struck at 8:19 p.m. Friday, rattling the Kern County city of 27,000 and the nearby small town of Trona in San Bernardino County.

The area appears to have taken the brunt of the damage, which includes major cracking on the State Route 178, at least one collapsed building and a fissure that stretched across the Mojave Desert.

Both major earthquakes have created large and very impressive cracks in the ground of the dry Mojave Desert. The power of nature is somehow very creepy!

Another yahoo headline? Any fissure a humanoid can easily step over is not GIANT.

My thoughts exactly. Having lived through the Landers 1992, Whittier 1987, Northridge 1994, Loma Prieta 1989, Sylmar 1971, and others all in my lifetime in Southern California, this recent quake is just another one in the books. I find the minute to minute newscasts laughable. The only thing newsworthy about this earthquake is the time since the last one. Minimal damage, no casualties, just another sunny day with people freaking out like they’ve never had their ground shaken before. I guess I’m the freak because my pulse doesn’t rise when the seismometers start swinging their needles.

Ignorance is what fuels the indifference that Is witnessed here.

Laughing in the face of adversity is some peoples way out of not facing the facts.

Planet Earth, will not laugh with you, when those that

Hmm.

So finishing off the last sentence.

"those that" are stupid enough, to so laugh in the face of the apocalypse.

Horrible grammar I know, but hey ho.

There’s a difference between “laughing in the face of the Apocalypse” and accepting the inevitable without fear. I accept that this Earth is coming apart at the seams and there’s not a damned thing that can be done to forestall catastrophe. The Wave is upon us, and ‘tis the season of transformation. That’s not ignorance of facts, but rather what I like to think of as grace under pressure and acceptance of ones incarnation on this plane and time as but one term in school in many of the journey of the soul in ascending to union with the one. It isn’t the first nor will it be the last, for there is no beginning nor end, just cycles. That’s being objective, not stupid. Do I cry for that which is lost? Most definitely. But I will not cower. I will continue to learn, and do so with humor, cheer, and mirth. Because the point is to live, not worry about the end of the world.

And having lived in Earthquake Central all my life, I don’t get rattled (pun intended). So shoot me.

Fissures are interesting, but without any real data - like length, width, depth, 'meaning' - it's not that big a deal, not worth an article. There are little cracks in our yard when the damp soil dries out after sunny summer days. Earthquakes fissures are of more importance, but still fairly meaningless as a barebones newsbit-let.
