DonDiego hopes forkushV is safe.

As DonDiego was driving around the San Diego area yesterday, the thought of earthquakes struck him as he observed the overpasses and underpasses. Nonetheless, he motored on bravely.

Thank you.

It was very noticeable, but soft and rolling, and the epicenter was pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I was less than four miles from the epicenter of the Northridge quake, and that was entirely a different experience.

I share DD's concern and glad to hear it didn't amount to much(if anything).

It may be a good time to invest in oceanfront property in Nevada.

DonDiego was working at Fort Hunter-Liggett, CA, participating in a test of a proposed Army air-defense weapon, when the Loma Prieta Earthquake hit in 1989. He was driving "home" to his room in King City when the 'quake hit, and did not even notice it.

The folks in King City said the high-school football field exhibited waves in the ground as the quake rolled under it.

But during that night, sometime in the early AM, an aftershock shook him awake in his bed; the disturbance comprised a shaking, which DonDiego estimated around 3-to-4-shakes-per-second which lasted a little over 30 seconds. When it stopped DonDiego rolled over and fell back to sleep; DonDiego is an excellent sleeper.

I was sitting in my living room in Riverside when the Northridge quake hit. Felt like a freight train and weird waves that looked like heat waves rolling through. Now I did sleep through the Silmar quake and that one was a bad one lots of damage. My mother said our bunk bed was slapping against the wall. I to sleep soundly.

Getting back to the original topic...I was playing at Arizona Charlies Decatur and didn't feel a thing.

I was worried that some off ramps were being closed causing delays in traffic for tomorrow.
Such fears were unfounded as it was a no-damage earth rumble.
Traffic should be light on Memorial Day,anyway.
In the 90's this week.
No more earthquakes,please.
I will be ON VACATION!
