sums it up right there

 

Uh, that would mean some damage at the epicenter no?

I need to up the priority on my plan for stocking up. When the big one does hit, it's going to be nuts, if the damage is heavy in LA county.

 

News isn't reporting any damage to property yet

 

 

Damn, I missed it!!

 

I'll stick with tornadoes. At least you can attempt to run away from them.
Hope everybody out West is safe.

 

i didnt feel it

 

I dunno..... I think I'll stick with my earthquakes...... Ive seen how a tornado can jump and that is not cool!!! It could be miles away while your running and just jumps on top of you. Now that would be crazy.

 

I dunno man, I have been through tornados in Texas, tropical thunderstorms (damn nearly hurricanes) in Virginia and hurricanes in Florida but none of them compare to the earthquakes I was around during the late 80's and early 90's. You just never know when the next one will hit......

 

I live in redondo beach, about 15 minutes from lennox. fawking quake disturbed by dinner

 

LOL

Me too!!

For once its not in the Valley or Pomona so we get to be part of the fun.

wife dove underneath the computer desk, and i was going "when's this thing gonna stop?" really long one..
