Hunkered down in Maine today as most everything is closed with the Blizzard Warnings up - right now we have heavy snow and 50 mph gusts. Not too bad though as we've only had 5" so far but if we get a couple feet it will be a bit of work clearing out...already shoveled once. Clear it out every 6" or so is how I do it.
That was the Sylmar earthquake 6.5/6.6 I was 6 years old I remember driving around looking at all the damage with my parents or was that the northridge one?
Correct. 1971. 6.6 EQ I was 13 and woke up to severe shaking in Fullerton CA. Lasted about a minute. One of the reasons I became a Civil Engineer.
Very cool that inspired your later career. :-)
I was 14 at the time and down there as well, in the South Bay Area.
It woke me up and I recall bouncing of the walls while running down our homes hallway while the trees swayed- absent any wind and water splashed out of the pool. It was an eerily surreal quake.
Crazy memories!

“ Be VERY CAREFUL with emails asking to update information, I just got an email from “Citi” asking me to add a mobile phone number, the email looked real but I didn’t trust it entirely, so I deleted the email, and opened the app to add the mobile number in there that way…
Sure enough they already had it. If it’s a spoof email, it looked REALLY legit.
This is something I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing.
I lived in the country when I was growing up. I used to climb oak trees when I was young, think around 5years old. I would be up in the top of trees that were 80 to 100 feet tall with the tree swaying 5 feet or more in the wind. To be young and have no thoughts about mortality. LOL

In the forefront one can see the outline of the foundation for the garage. Below the wood floor is a basement/crawlspace. It will be interesting to see how the flooring will be reinforced sufficiently to bear the weight of the vehicles.

I was on this side of the border in CT where they called it the gateway to the Berkshires.
Moved to SC and the cold followed with two inches of snow on my patio last week

That happened to my car 3 different times until I put one of these on it. So far, so good

Very cool!
A PSA for my friends that read this thread:
“ Be VERY CAREFUL with emails asking to update information, I just got an email from “Citi” asking me to add a mobile phone number, the email looked real but I didn’t trust it entirely, so I deleted the email, and opened the app to add the mobile number in there that way…
Sure enough they already had it. If it’s a spoof email, it looked REALLY legit.
Don’t EVER click links in emails is my advice”
