Southern California Earthquake

Where is Lucy Jones?


IT was a pretty good shaker, enough to catch you attention and make you think about where you want to run to.

I've never been in anything more than a couple of mild tremors here in TN. They were the type you had to wait for the news to confirm it was one. Can't imagine anything that shook that hard with follow up aftershocks.

I was standing in the front yard of my babysitter's house when her gas stove exploded. Whoa! I felt the earth move then. I must have been only 6 but I remember it well.

Hope everyone is okay!

Glad that there seems to have been no major damage, RICHARD, I thought you were going to say it made you think about where you wanted to live!

[RICHARD]

The goods outweigh the bads.

I was sitting down and thought "Hmmmmm, that was a jolt, followed by some rolling, another jolt and some more rolling", by then you have already figured out that it's an earthquake and don't have to do anything.'


Kate Hutton and Lucy Jones are the people who ALWAYS show up on the tube to give you a breakdown about what went on.

The best part about them is when they happen during a newscast.
There are some classic clips of newsheads panicking during a quake.

NO matter where you go there is Mom Nature to give you a reminder......

Just saw a news clip on our local news about the quake. Wow, I'll bet
that got everyones attention.

Hope everyone out that way is ok.

To all my fellow pters in beautiful california, i hope you are all safe and well, and that there are no after shocks, take care all.

There was a thread a while back and we were laughing about earthquakes and the joke was, "Call us Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ahns when you get a 5.0 or bigger."



If I see the brick building that crumbled one more time....

In every quake there is a photo of a place that gets repeated over and over again.

In the 94 quake there was the gas line in the street that ruptured and caught on fire.

I remember seeing it on the cover of World News Weekly with the caption-QUAKE OPENS PORTALS OF HELL...lol, that was funny!
