As we speak their door is propped open....I guess just in case we get another tremblor!!!!!!!!! Grin

I always loved it when we had a quake when folks were visiting from somewhere East. They didn't sleep well for days afterward. They actually thought that tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards were preferable to a 30 second shaker once every so often.

Go figure........

I can handle blizzards, sub zero temps for extended periods, tornadoes, stuff like that; go ahead, throw it all at me. But the ground beneath my feet must never move.

I cannot imagine how you live with it.

I'm not sorry that I've never had the experience of a quake...nor a tornado for that matter. I do hope you're all right as every time I see the "breaking" news....sorry....on tv it seems stronger.

I'd probably head for the hills....all we have are hills.....Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

Well come on, they're vulnerable in that display - and they WERE rattling! Of course if they had started to fall I would have been looking like an octopus rescuing them. God help anyone that might have been in the way!

A 7.2 'rolling EQ...now THAT's worth your attention! These lil nitty Oregon tremblers, in around 3-4.......not worth a teacup breaking even!
I once had an ironing board walk to the other side of the room, then come back! I've seen my swimming pool heave water out the LEFT side of the pool, settle, then dump out the RIGHT side of the pool....we were down by then about 4feet of water!
Know what, though? It was over in less than 2 mins, noone had to be lashed to a palm tree, nothing was picked up and flung into another county...okok...we lost a few houses, chimneys, cars, windows, stuff like that.........but, there was no deadly mold forming after the floodwaters receded.......
I miss EQs.......I know them well, and NEVER, EVER had any real repercussions from an EQ....tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, scare the beejeebers out of me.wildfires petrify me with fear me........but a lil earth movement?? I've been through too many, unscathed...and the buildings in CA are all retrofitted.....skyscrapers sway for a reason.......thats better than snapping!
Umm, qualifying all of that, an EQ in an overcrowded 3 world country>??? THAT would scare me!

Glad your pretty teacups are safe, Christy!
