E1 Western? LOL, you´re trading out for a less competitive conference, good call.

Edit: There is still a way to go into eastern.

To me it would make more sense for other solid teams from E2 and a couple teams from E1 east to try and switch into the west if possible.

Why have one conference stacked and the other weaker? That doesn't make the league any better either.

Anyway, i will take it however i can get it. All that matters to us is that we are back in Elite 1. We should have never been demoted in the first place.

Will make sense if Cybertron and couple of other E2 teams join as well, will be interesting to see which E2 team will stay in E2.

Alright, the Palm Bay Palookas are back in Elite #1.

And no, we're not swapping with your Elite #2 team. We just got OUT of Elite #2, why would we want back in?

Sorry, guys... if I'd known moving Palm Bay from Elite #2 to Elite #1 would trigger such a big earthquake, I woulda stayed put.

lol at west coasters who want to live in a spot where it isn't.

i guess we can now change our equipment. Tired of having Oline with not fumble and HBs with hold block %.

Also lol at the teams that didnt know how to use the equipment swap

LOL @ West Coast people assuming that a 5.9 on the West Coast is exactly the same as a 5.9 on the East Coast.

Earthquake waves travel much further in the eastern part of the USA than they do in the western part of the USA. The soil and rock types are different, plus the west is more mountainous, with the numerous mountain ranges out there limiting the reach of earthquakes.

Check out this map, which compares one of the New Madrid, Missouri earthquakes from 1895 with the Northridge, California quake from 1994. Both very similar in strength, but the New Madrid quake was felt over a MUCH wider area.

Another even stronger quake from New Madrid later that year cracked sidewalks in Washington DC and damaged chimneys in Maine.

And as yet another example, a 7.3 in Charleston, South Carolina in 1886 damaged buildings as far away as Ohio and Kentucky.

So, sorry, but a 5.9 in the east is a big earthquake. And if it had been centered more directly underneath Washington, DC, they would've seen far more damage... like what Christchurch, New Zealand just went through a few weeks ago when they had a 6.0 centered basically right underneath their city. Go ahead, tell Christchurch they didn't have a big earthquake either.

Thank you for the geology lesson. I am well aware that the cold, old lithosphere beneath the eastern US, especially that region between the Appalachian's and the coast, allows for the attenuation of seismic waves to great distances. My comment was intended more at mass media reaction I was seeing around the web, then the actual strength of the earthquake. If I offended anybody, I apologize. Being a geologist myself, I'm just sometimes amazed by the media frenzy that only follows an earthquake if it occurs near an important population center. If the same earthquake hit in the middle of Kansas, there might have been a sidebar note on CNN.com, but since it was near DC, it was all over every broadcast known to man.
