Just heard. Hope Sherard & Fam is OK.

Looks like it may be far enough off the coast that it MIGHT not be a huge deal.

    Why is no one covering it? All I see is a small blip on Foxnews.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I'm not sure. I heard it on TV and then posted it. They said they were waiting for more details, but I'm not seeing much online other than some Google feed.

    It's one of those things that could be nothing or a really big deal. Hopefully it's nothing.

    It felt pretty intense, never experienced one before. Freaking crazy. It actually felt like someone was shaking the heck out of me, then I woke up and noticed it was the house. My immediate thought was get the hell out. Appreciate the thoughts though.

    Glad to see that you are ok , those 7.0's arent fun whatsoever...been through 2 of them...waiting for the next one.

    You sold your motorcycle and haven't replaced it yet right ? That sucked the most for me...getting home and seeing water coming out from under the garage door....my 2 motorcycles flipped over in there too...audio system on the other side of the room from where it was when I left the house. :eek:

    I am glad you are ok.:cool::cool: I lived through the Northridge quake. It was also my first, and thankfully my last. I will never forget that shattering of glass and the sound of walls falling in. It was the scariest 17 seconds of my life.
