Glad to hear all is well there. Paos Robles is an old ranching area, and last time I was there I saw a lot of stick-built and post-beam structures that had to be 80 - 100 years old. Those may be the ones that were affected. Personally, since being just about on top of the double Landers/Big Bear quake a decade or so ago, I no longer rouse myself off the couch for anything less than an 8. Smaller quakes are just kiddie rides.:-D "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

Latest Article: Breadcrumbs in ASP.NETI know:laugh: After the quakes a year later in Palm Springs, we had huge aftershocks, and I worked down in San Bernardino in the 'liquifaction zone' a few miles away. Without exception, every aftershock I felt hit when I was in the men's room in a, shall we say, awkward position. I had visions of rescue workers digging up my body in that position for weeks.

Earthquake[^] Happened very near my home. I was in the shower when it happened. AFAIK, all is well. Some structural damage in Paso Robles, but I think my town is ok. [EDIT] Looks like at least one person has died. :( [/EDIT]

Me too. But I realized it was my stumach as it went from a low pitch rumbling to a high screaming pitch. 3 eggs and it went silent. :) -- Sancte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium.

Latest Article: Breadcrumbs in ASP.NETThis being the first Earthquake I ever felt, I was stunned when it was first felt here in Los Angeles. At first I thought must be something I ate, but the damn tremor wasnt stopping. Although it was very light and like a breeze of wind swaying the 5 floor building gently I was on. I didn't like the feeling X| , could feel it for atleast 20 more mins after it was gone. Wonder what it was like for the folks on the hi rises in downtown LA and San Fransisco. Another turning point , a fork stuck in the road . Time grabs you by the wrist , directs you where to go. So make the best of this test , and don't ask why. It's not a question , but a lesson learned in time . Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day

Welcome to LA...after your 1st one, your a veteran...now comes the fun - watching all of the "newbie" reactions to quakes..all running around like chickens with their heads cut off..:laugh: One such incident occurred about 15 years ago (Upland quake about 5 miles from where I was working) - one of our marketing guys was trying to dive under the desk of a coworker (who was 8 months pregnant) - she was screaming at him to get out so she could climb under the desk! As for me, I just continued coding - if the roof was going to cave in, let it otherwise don't bug me!!!
