That nut-and-plate in this pic is a way to provide some stabilization to old brick buildings around here in earthquake country. On the other side of the wall was a steel rod or cable (not sure which) that ran all the way to the back of the building and connected to another nut-and-plate. Tension was then applied. There were several on this building from front to back and side-to-side.
Evidently, they were pretty effective. H.G. Wade's Warehouse stood in Alviso, California, through quakes, ground-sinkage and flooding for 161 years.
Unfortunately, it couldn't stand up to a massive fire that ran through it last Saturday. The front and one side wall are still standing, but probably not very stable. The other side wall is mostly gone and the rear wall is missing.

Damages from the earthquake on September 8th, 2023 can be seen in various places in Marrakech. I wouldn't trust this construction for too long.

Keenan ran under the table and she's still a little scared. It was her first earthquake experience. Her teddy bear is keeping her safe and calm.
We had a 5.2 magnitude earthquake last night at around 1am near Borrego Springs, CA.
We are okay, but boy did that scare us. It's been a while since we feel an earthquake of this magnitude. Hoping with all the aftershocks we've had since last night no big one is on the way. ;)
I wish with all my heart that my hometown
manage to overcome, in addition to the coronavirus, recover as quickly as possible from the earthquake's fatality...😪😪
A few days ago I posted a photo of dead trees along the shore of this lake and told the story of how it was formed. In this photo we can see the landslide scar that formed the dam that created the lake. The scale of the disaster is hard to imagine when 80 million tons of the mountain collapsed in 1959. After all these years, there still isn't much growing on the scarp.

This photograph was taken next the sign the Oregon History sign for the Cascadia Earthquake and Tsunami of 1700.
Memphis Sits on the New Madrid fault which scientists say will be bigger than anything California has ever had when it hits. The last time it happened was in 1811 and it created a huge lake on the Tennessee Kentucky border. Something that size would cause Memphis to gall off into the Mississippi.

I make that ass shake
It's time to devastate
Here to make the glass break
Drop like an earthquake

185 people died as a result of the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
185 precious lives are remembered here, with 185 pieces of Halswell stone recovered from St Luke's church damaged beyond repair on that day.
May they rest in peace.

The Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Portuguese: Convento da Ordem do Carmo) is a former Catholic convent located in the civil parish of Santa Maria Maior, municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. The medieval convent was ruined during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and the destroyed Gothic Church on the southern facade of the city is the main trace of the great earthquake.

Dear Flickr friends, I made this shot overlaying two photos slightly distant from each other. The photos were taken from a distance of about half an hour.
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck southern Turkey in February, 2023 near the Syrian border, and the city of Gaziantep, followed by a second 7.5 magnitude earthquake 9 hours later. I drove through Gaziantep area in October, 2023 and the earthquake damage was still evident.

A more recent shot of Kaikoura (aerial shot from Sep 2016). It's been badly affected by today's earthquake and aftershocks, and has all access cut off.
There was a M7.5 near the top of the South Island (NZ) at 2 mins past midnight. It woke up the whole country. It woke me through 2 sleeping tablets, and everything was rocking and rolling big time.
I'm lucky I'm far enough away from the epicenter that I only feel the bigger ones. I've got shell mobiles and other hanging things around the place that swing whenever a quake comes through. There are lots of ones that I wouldn't notice, but they do.
On a walk around Linwood Cemetery with my Flickr friend. January 2022 Christchurch New Zealand.
History of the Linwood Cemetery :
A lot of headstones have fallen and were damaged by the Christchurch Earthquakes in 2010-11.
The cemetery was the first Christchurch cemetery located outside the town ‘on sanitary grounds’ and is situated on what was once a large sand dune.
It was at one time called Christchurch Cemetery or Sandilands Cemetery, on account of the sandy soil, very suitable for digging. It has many large and interesting monuments, most of which are to the memory of early residents of the eastern suburbs. It has a Jewish section, including graves resited from the 19th century Jewish cemetery in Hereford Street. There are many notable people buried in the cemetery, along with a number of 'colourful' characters.
In 1884 the Council approved the construction of a tramway to the cemetery from the corner of Cashel and High streets and by 1885 had built a tramway hearse. Although now covered by asphalt, tram tracks survive beneath the main pathway within the cemetery.

Thank you very much for your visiting my photo. I would like you to do me a favor. People in Tohoku area are in hopeless situation. I appreciate it if you would donate money to your nearest foundation for people in Tohoku area. They lost everything!!!!! They need to re-create their lives. I am going to donate some amount, namely 300USD. I hope you consider the same amount. Thanks.(2011-03-14)
First I would like to express my sincere thanks for all the messages and concern from people across the world who have contacted us regarding the reported earthquake that has hit Cornwall in the last 24 hours.
Very kind of you Lindsey and Sharon😂😂😂
Amongst the concerns shown may I immediately allay your fears and inform you Sharp’s Brewery is intact and fully operational, phew.🍻🍻🍻
Yes the TV and press have reported an earthquake shook West Cornwall measuring 2.2 magnitude, some residents reported hearing a sound like thunder, Radio Pasty presenter Rebeca Wills, from Helston added “There was a low rumble and there was like a sonic boom”, if only she knew.😉
However when Horace and Hoof tiptoed across the breakfast room floor this morning with singed eyebrows, tails, and professor style looks on their faces the game was up.😉
You see mains electricity had always been low on the agenda here in Cornwall, we have always prioritised free range alcohol, so we could be as happy as pigs in you know what. 🐷🍻🍻🍻
However one night there was a meeting held by many of the local village elders and they came to the conclusion we needed these services on demand, or on tap so to speak.⚡️⚡️⚡️💡💡💡
So under the cover of darkness Hoof and Horace set off down to Poldhu Cove near Mullion quipped with a set of jump leads and a few jubilee clips.🔌🔌🔌🔦🔦🔦
As this is a fair distance from where we live H & H had to stop halfway to take on alcohol, so the boys went into a pub, Hoof had the jump leads hanging around his neck, the bar man looked at Hoof and said “don’t start anything”.🍷🍷🍷
The boys had a few games of spoof with the locals as they always do, then following a few jokes and a healthy exchange of banter Hoof packed the cash they had relieved the locals of into his saddle bags and they were on their way again.💷💷💷
H & H rocked up at Poldhu Cove an area they had staked out on several previous occasions, and had soon uncovered the transatlantic power cable that comes in there.⚡️⚡️⚡️
If you remember Marconi made his first transatlantic signal from here.📻
So in no time the boys had connected the jump leads to the T A cable and into a near by sub station and no sooner than you could say Thomas Edison and there was an almighty flash followed by a big bang, unfortunately Horace had connected the positive lead to the negative cable, he had forgotten to put on his little reading glasses and white coat like a mini professor (thank you Gill).👓
Come on just a simple mistake, the leads and connections were quickly swapped over and we were good to go and the whole of Cornwall had mains electricity , and not an earthquake💡💡💡🔧🔨🔩🍻🍻🍻🐎🐷😂😂😂
Thank you all so much for viewing my images, the comments you leave are always so appreciated.
I trust you all have a lovely weekend irrespective of the weather, I will leave you with this thought, an old charecter in the village use to say “There is no such thing as bad weather, it is being inappropriately dressed”
🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷😎😂😂😂
