And certainly not like the Loma Prieta quake... I was there in
Richmond, Ca for that one. Only 10 miles from the Cypress freeway
that fell down.

When you leave, take someone with you.

I didn't feel a thing. You?

Yeah, we got about 30 seconds of rollers. Nothing like we had in
April, which *really* got my attention!

I found out today the inside of one of my co-workers house is a
disaster area. She lives in Ocatillo, the epicenter of the quake. Her
cupboards flew open and glassware and dinnerware flew out, bookshelves
fell over, microwave fell off the kitchen counter and the refrigerator
door flew open and all the food spewed out onto to the floor. Then to
make matters worse, the electricity went off.

I offered to go over after work today and help with the clean up, but
right now she's just trying to deal with it emotionally. She's too
scared to sleep in the house and is sleeping in her truck.

I wish I could make it all better for her, this sucks, it really
sucks.
The news reported no damage was done, yeah, right.

Koko, if you have any breakable stuff (figurines and such), Aaron
Bros. has earthquake putty. I found it when I was trying to figure out
how to outsmart my housecleaner, who uses her dusting as an
opportunity to knock every picture in my house askew. A little dab of
earthquake putty on the corner of each picture did the trick. I then
used it to "glue" down some other breakable pieces, just in case.
Won't help dishes and the like, but it'll help a wee bit for
ornaments.

Felt it in Chatsworth. Just a light rolling motion. Nothing like the
jolt we got in '94.

Thanks Terry, I've been meaning to do that, but like my co-worker I
haven't gotten around to doing it. She even mentioned securing the
bookshelves to the walls. We hear this all the time, just don't take
the time to do it soon enough.
I'm even thinking about securing the kitchen cabinets with child proof
latches to keep the contents from ending up on the floor.
I pray to God that I won't have to be happy I did it.
I have some re-arranging and securing to do this weekend.

I was staying with a friend in Granada Hills during that little 'jolt' :-)

Pain is your friend, your ally, it will tell you when you are seriously
injured, it will keep you awake and angry, and remind you to finish the
job and get the hell home. But you know the best thing about pain?

It lets you know you're not dead yet!

Now, there's a thought. I have a 17th century (not a typo - it's 17th
century) longcase clock that wouldn't survive a face plant on the
travertine.

Y'know, there are some extents to which I will not go and this is one
of 'em. The sheer aggravation of childproof latches on a day-to-day
basis would drive me wonky. I might consider it for the cupboard my
grandmother's china is in, but that's about it. Everything else is
replaceable. And insured.

Unfortunately, it's all part and parcel of living in wonderful SoCal.

I used to think it was just me....... and that every time I went to LA there
was a major earthquake.... till I realised it was a part of every say life
there :-)


> The news reported no damage was done, yeah, right.

I don't think they class broken 'nick nacks' and frayed nerves as newsworthy
enough.


After the Northridge quake had hit in '94, and after we had checked the
apartment complex we were in (Granada Hills, on Devonshire) to make sure
everyone was alive, I went on a (motorbike) tour around the area. I intended
taking lots of pics to show everyone back here what had happened...... but
after about 3, I stopped. Looking at the devestation, the shattered dreams
and lives of people on the streets.... I couldn't take any more pictures.

The people looked exactly the same as civilian 'survivors' in a war zone.


And I don't think any "earthquake putty" would have stopped stuff from being
thrown about in that one :-)

Did you know that the Ocotilla quake is thought to be an aftershock of the
Easter Sunday Sierra El Mayor (Baja) quake?

Yes, I knew that at the time we were shaking. Aftershocks can continue
for years after the initial earthquake. This one was just wayyyy
closer to home.
