I was in a bar in San Francisco, on Castro Street, when the 1989 quake hit. I was standing in the back of the bar watching some guys play pool when it started. There was a rumbling sound, than the floor started to move and the old timber beams of the building started to shake, dust started to fall out of the ceiling. I thought that it was it for me. Everyone ran out the door and into the street. After it ended, everyone when went back in and ordered another drink. However all power went out than and they had to close down. The whole street closed due to power failure and all these people were just milling around Castro and Market. It was a strange afternoon to say the least.

I think the general rule is that if you are inside, take cover under something sturdy, or at least cover your head, with your arms or whatever. I think the old adage about getting in a door frame is not true anymore. I have put earthquake hooks on all my paintings and pictures, and strapped down all bookshelves, cabinet, etc. I have extra water and other supplies. They are saying if the big one hits in the Palm Springs area, we will be on our own for up to a month. All service will be cut off from Los Angeles and no airports will be serviceable. Should be fun.

SO we immediately run to the basement...as the wife and kids are going down Im grabbing the radio.....but notice that it is calm outside...i go to the basement and i look at the wife and said WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?  She looks at me like what?  I said its calm out side....there is NOTHING...she said well maybe it was a downburst?  I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...because there is NOTHING.  A few minutes later I hear on the radio we just had a 5.5 Earthquake and the epicenter was located just 20 miles west of here.  So thanks Warhawk for stirring things up around here LOL....we all are up now 2 hours early! LOL

When I heard the news this morning, I thought you'd had another gas attack!!!!!!!!!!! :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*))

Timmay:
Haha! LOL....actually we just had a strong aftershock just like less than 3 minutes ago.  There have been many aftershocks here all morning but this one was by far the longs and most felt aftershock...lasted about 20 seconds...
Like I said all you guys in California are probably rolling your eyes at me...but this is weird stuff, especially here in SW Indiana.  I will keep you all posted

BALDANDRE:
Yup, saw that a quake hit the midwest...

Can't say it's a California thing anymore...oh and the mudslides are only near the hill areas...and there is a lot of California that is NOT by a hillside and fires happen in a lot of places and gangs and random shootings everywhere these days,

so I guess Cali doesn't stack up so bad ...

but really I'm up in Washington, so what does THAT tell ya? ;)
