Default California/Baja 7.2 Earthquake

Just want to send out a quick note to our California/Arizona members that have been effected by the 7.2 mag earthquake today.

Hope all is o.k., and your families are safe.

Chase, u thought it was Julian comin to surprise you, didn't you?

I was wonderin how my buddy BlownChevy was makin out after I heard this. Cause I knew that SD was home to you. I couldn't tell someone where Ventura County is, but I know cities out there. Just not there proximity to one another. A good friend from PT is in SF, & says he doesn't worry unless the windows are shakin & plates fallin on the ground.

No thanks I don't want any, but some of y'all are used to it, right?

Lisa, when u were out there, did u get used to it (quakes)?
Just cause I see more snow & snow/ ice than most, doesn't mean I like it, but I've been around it my whole life. It's what I know.
But when I'm old enough & can afford to, I'm headin south. I like Kentucky w/. all the cliffs cut thru roadways. Maybe somewhere I can race year-round. ...TX?

I can tell you that I was prepared for the quakes, and as far as getting use to them, I can say I didn't, because you never knew what you were going to get hit with.

Back when Northridge hit So Cal, my then 75-ish Grandmother was staying with my parents in Manhattan Beach. My Mom ran down the 3 flights of stairs to get to my Grandma to make sure she was protected in a doorway. She's lived in PA/NY all of her life, no quakes there. Mom got to Grandma on her knees in the hallway, saying the Hail Mary. So you tell me.
