    I was driving down Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica but didn't feel anything! I guess my car must gave a good suspension....

    Cat was wigging out though when I got home (dog was completely nonplussed), and internet has been slow all afternoon....

    This is scary. Those things are not designed for such loads and i'm glad you did not have a collapse!

    << <i>Felt nuthin' in NorCal. News says it's been downgraded to a 5.4

    Cross it over to ANACS, you'll get a 6.2 image Just trying to keep it coin related. >>



    And a 7.0 from SGS or NNC!

    there ya' go. I don't see how you folks do it. I feel like I've got it made being able to have a day or two notice prior to a hurricane.

    best of luck to everyone involved.

    We had a tornado up here in NH last week, about 5 miles from me, but didn't feel the earthquake.

    I'm in vegas and did not feel the shaker. The butcher next door at VONs Supermarket said he felt it as
    did the change guy in the slot area. But, not me and was sitting down with a patient talking about hearing
    aids. Nope.

    I remember the Whittier quake that was in 1987... that was a shaker

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • We couldn't feel it in Indiana. But I did experience my first earthquake about 2-3months ago here in Indiana. My bed is on rollers and I have hardwood floors. To say the least, I was scared sh*tless. Living alone, and all of a sudden my bed is out of control at 4am, I ran out of my room like a little girl.

    Felt nothing in the bay area. Although I never do seem to notice much. image

    I'm a little north of LA but it still shook our house quite a bit!

    I've been through two monster quakes, 1971 and 1994, and many smaller ones over the years here in Ca., and although this was a Sunday school picnic compared to those two biggies, I still hate all earthquakes of any size. You never know for sure how large they may get or whether one may just be a precursor to a huge one following on its heels! image

    I was up on the 60th floor of the Encore tower and didn't feel anything.

    I have a friend in West Covina, a surfboard fell off his wall smashing a bunch of his hot sauce collection that was in a glass case below it.

    I was on the freeway near Whittier go'n 70 at 11:45 am, and did'nt feel a thing...

    A small quake will be felt farther and felt more/move more stuff in Indiana than in CA. Bedrock transmits energy much better than sand. But don't tell anyone. We have enough people out here. --Jerry

    No earthquake felt here in Nebraska...

    I felt it - and to keep this coin related

    There is a plausible theory that numbers of the 1894-S dime were lost in the San Fran earthquake/fires of 1906.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

  • I know I am going to regret asking this question, but it will not leave my mind. What does a hot sauce collection mean and is this a common pursuit on the West Coast? Are there rarities, do collectors trade etc? I have never heard or read of this type of collecting. Is it part of or related to surfing? Respectfully, John Curlis

    This is a hot sauce collection in Florida, the CA collection was not this large at they " thought " they had it earthquake safe......

    Almost makes as much sense as collectinng beer cans.image

  • I didn't want to say it, PerryHall, but since you see the Maryland side of things, you obviously understood my reason for the question...imageRespectfully, John Curlis
  • ArizonaJackArizonaJack Posts: 4,029 ✭✭✭
    Kind of silly I agree, but there are many sauces in the $500-$1000 price range, and the record is $10,000 for a single bottle. LOL, yes, there are " keys "image

    Bear, well said!
  • I don't think my wife will go along with the dusting part of this branch of collecting. That $10,000 bottle must really be something. Who'd a thunk? Respectfully, John Curlis
