Does anyone else feel the tremors in Medellin?

Just reading some facts on the subject and found this interesting http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/2059330.stm if you look at the information at the bottom of the page you will see there is an earthquake 1906, 1923 then not another till 1960 , pretty infrequent right, now look how frequent they are now, every year(3 in 2006). I´m sure there were more in the first half of the century but were never globally reported, even so, the politicions and oil companies still ignore these facts.

United States Geological Survey keeps an eye on seismic events worldwide. You can see the details about your tremors here:

There is historical data available as well. Unfortunately no crystal ball.

paulr - that happens when you sit around drinking pilsen all day ;)

i have not felt anything and when i do, i always run to the bathroom to see if the water in the bowl is sloshing around. it never has...

but i hear alot of other people talk about the tremors.

trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine...

This is freeking me out, just felt another about 5 mins ago, again, very small but the place was def moving. If you look at this link, it says that there have been 2 in the last week http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Maps/region/S_America.... the last one was when i said, yesterday morning but near Bucaramanga?. No Pilsen touched here, don´t like the stuff.

paulr,

Generally I feel them half a dozen plus times a month, for four years now.

I lived in Medellin longer, but in a differant properties and didn't feel them before, my present property is higher up and a slimmer building.

If you are at ground level you won't feel most of them.

I am under the view that it is a good sign feeling them, that way the plates are releasing the built up stress, if I didn't feel them regularly I would get worried as the plates are not releasing the stress and the stresses are building up for a big one.

paulr - i was out drinkin and i had to put one foot down on the floor last night when i went to bed. does that count as a tremor? more spinning than trembling, but i thought i would ask ;)

Hey tejas, someone is feeling it on the `9 floor'!, I would think you would feel it even stronger!
