6.5 Earthquake... Damn that was scary!!!

[JediMAC]

One would think that sort of bulk would be incapable of said hurdle....

Perhaps sweaters help one glide

Watch it bug, or you may find "The Sweater" wrapped tightly around your face in the middle of your sleep one night at C3!

As long as it's around my face, I can live with it.  *shudder*

Another serious aftershock.  At least a 5.0, which would be at least the fourth 5.0+ aftershock since the 6.0 earthquake yesterday.  This one shook our building real good as well.  I hate this ****!   

[JediMAC]

Apparently that one wasn't an aftershock, but an entirely separate quake.  A 5.0 just an hour and 20 minutes away from us.  Ugh.

It sounds like this Earthquake may of caused a rock slide which may of trap a car in it.

Edit: Sounds like CHP may of at first overstated what happened.

Better on your face than on your bedroom floor.

Matt where you in a highrise today for this earthqauke today?

For anyone here who doesn't know a 5.6 earthquake hit about 20 miles south of Palm Springs this Morning.  Sounds like moderate damage to the local area with possible low number of injuries.  Got me out of bed wondering if I should grab my GG bust off the shelf.  Hopefully everyone is okay here in Califorina.

[JesseVader08]

Wow.  Hopefully everyone's safe.  I don't know how you guys do it - I really think I'd freak if I felt the ground moving beneath me.   

[DSJ™]

Yiles! Hope everything is OK Tom. Just been reading that there were a few minor aftershocks.

Keep us posted and hope everyone is safe.

Nope.  Slept right through it, actually.  Patty was up though, but said she didn't feel anything.  I'm sure if I'd been in the office though, I would've felt it real good, as usual.

Hopefully everyone's ok out there by Palm Springs...

Don't forget their GC Busts...

Dammit, I'm getting tired of these things!  Especially when I'm high up in a hi-rise building!  Our whole building started swaying back and forth, and it felt like I was surfing in my office (we're on the 11th floor).  The blinds were swinging and kept banging into the windows, and you could hear the whole building creaking.  I bolted out the door and stupidly into an elevator which was already at the wait, which made matters even worse.  That thing was swinging all over the place.  Somebody wound up getting on at the 5th floor, so I wisely jumped out and took the stairs the rest of the way.  I was the first one out of the building, and thought I must've just been imagining it, until the rest of the building wound up evacuating a minute or two later...

Registered at 6.5, and was located up near San Simeon (Hearst Castle), which is about 4 hours away from here.  That should tell you how powerful this thing was!  But considering I felt the Northridge quake all the way out in Las Vegas, it's not surprising I guess.

My legs are still shaking right now!  God, I hate quakes.  

Most important: Is the collection okay???

[Nathan]

Hope you (and your collections ) are all OK!

I still can't decide whether you CA people have balls the size of cantelopes or brains the size of peas. I know I wouldn't live there. Here in the Midwest we have tornados but they just rearrange stuff on the surface, they don't move entire chunks of land.

[Jediknight760071]

I'm fine...I actually woke up while my bed was shaking, but I guess I'm really mellow about that kind of stuff, because I went back to sleep...while my bed was still shaking.

And thankfully, my collection did not fall on me....that's would have sucked big time.

[Darth Kenobi]

It seems like everything around the area was is okay down by the epiercenter.  I have heard a few stories about a small casino have damage and a shelf folding in half and then falling on a kid, but it seems everyone is okay.  Now I just need to put the time and effort in to secure my Busts to the shelf and tie the shelf down to the wall before we are actually hit by a big one.
