Dang - out back gardening and a good earthquake hit in San Diego....not sure where the epicenter was - but the ground was rolling for a good 10 seconds - could see the windows in the house wobbling....dang....

    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    It rolled quite a bit here but not really any of the shaking that is usually associated with quakes...probably too far away. They're calling it 6.9 in Mexicali, Mexico.

    Good ole' 29 stumps. Been out there a few times, talking about boring. That place has to be it. Good thing, your not far from Vegas and other nicer cities.

    Heard about the earthquake, wow. Seems to be happening all over the place. Had one in Japan like a month ago now. Hope you guys are ok.

    5.4 and 4.0 right in the same area just in the past hour. There has been a ton of 'small' activity around there recently.

    I feel the same, but I want the zombies to come. I'll be REALLY disappointed if it's just super quakes, storms, and volcanic activity.

    Not sure what I would do if I seen a zombie. Shotgun season for me though. Just would suck if one got to me.

    I was home. The LCD was shaking on the stand, as did my rear bookshelves. Unlike other earthquakes, this one shook from side to side as if I were on a boat.

    The first thought that came to mind was how do I recreate the same effect with my subwoofer :D

    Again I will quote Mark Ch. 13:8 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows."

    It could be coincidental.........

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    So the fact that "nations have been rising against nations" since before Christians even believe the world existed is ignored? Ditto the existence of earthquakes and floods and famines and "troubles?"

    Believe in God all you want, but I've seen fortune cookies with more specific criteria for being "correct."
