OT 6.5 Earthquake hit my area this afternoon

I was feeling a bit frustrated as my PC had a possible blue screen of death. The Cincy and Jet game was practically over so I went to go drop off my computer and hit the local Costco. I was sitting in my truck and ready to leave and I was rocking pretty heavy in my truck. I still went to town but of course all stores were closed and it was more severe than what I thought. In my house I had a TV come completely out of an entertainment center and my knives were all over my kitchen..... There were other little things that had fell over but all is good here. I did see someone down the street get taken on a backboard and the stores around town were a mess..... I just got power but other parts of town are still out of it.....

    Where do you live? I spent the day in Pasadena and didn't even hear about a quake.

    Wow, that is scary. Glad to hear you're OK...when I hear stories like this I start thinking about 2012 and the Mayn calendar and the Book of Revelations..maybe I watch too much History channel..


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

    Glad you're OK. Last one I experienced was in Whittier. IIRC it was a 6.0 in 1987. Been living in Nowhere ND since.

    I hope everything is ok with you and your family. I lived in Granada Hills for 30 years and had just over $100,000 in damage from the Northridge Earthquake back in 94. After seeing what an earthquake could do I always use angle brackets or straps to secure tv's and furniture to the wall studs. It's amazing the energy a 6.0 quake has....Let alone what a 6.5 has, which is approx 5 times stronger than a 6.0.

    Hang in there.

    Shasta may be awakening soon.

    Good luck with the cleanup.
