thanks for the warning. I just notifed my mother who is contacting all our family up near Eureka - a 7.4 is pretty huge.

Hope the CA coast doesn't fall into the water like Nostradamus predicted!

Yeah, but the Weather Channel keep sounding their "alert/alarm" every few minutes or so at a ridiculous volume...

Dr. Z,
Whats up with your annual summer party?

I like the Alarm!!! But I keep waiting for the next SitCom to come on!!! And that lady just keeps on talkin about the weather--WTF!!!

I put on my wetsuit just in case. Maybe I will be able to afford a home on the Nevada Coast!

Chongolio

My Mom lives in the city of Mendocino and felt nothing. Nothing! NOTHING!!!
( damn those news people! Eat your ridlin!!)

ok, this was actually funny.

Chongolio - I almost spit corn flakes all over the table imagining you guys running around last night in your wet suit :)

My Coast Guard base here on Yerba Buena Island went into what I like to call "Spazcon Delta" ( Take off on Defcon...)

They thought for sure the Golden Gate was going to be wiped out and were scrambling to get all the boats out of the bay. Thats your tax dollars hard at work!

Good thing I check out TC... I didn't even know there was a BIG earthquake up
here until way after 10pm last night when I signed onto TC! I was out watering
my lawn at about the time it shook, but didn't feel a thing! We are about
150 miles south of the epicenter... and NOTHING! With my center of gravity,
I usually am the first to feel 'em.

But, I am still keeping my 4.3 acres in Carson City, Nevada!!!

All is well. In honor to the tiki gods, I guess I will have to have a party
this weekend.
