LA peeps
« on: July 29, 2008, 02:11:33 PM »
I was just speaking to someone in the area when that quake started.  Hope everyone is ok...send a note when you get a chance to let us know things are ok.

I was at a stop light and when the shaking started I thought some transplanted East Coast moron had hit my truck.  I looked around and there wasn't a car in dight but all the stop lights were shaking, I just went "eh" and drove back to work.  I called everyone and the entire KittySquisher crew is ok.

good to hear, the person i was talking to, wasn't sure if they "needed" to panic or not, so like after while of thinking about it they decided to get off the phone...I don't know how you guys get used to that stuff over there.  Good to hear about the kittens.  it probably didn't even slow their Xbox game play down...

My oldest son was playing and he felt the house shaking more than usual and he didn't know why until his older sister came in and told him.  He likes to crank up the sound system to where the windows shake when playing the XBox.

The earthquake was no big deal.  Some shelves probably fell over at most, I doubt anyone got seriously hurt unless they were extreemly unlikely.

How do your homes cope out there with earthquakes?  Any extra work done in the construction of your homes to keep it safe for this stuff?  Or do you just have to deal with cracks in walls and foundation as a part of life?

I spent about 45K to replace my 100 year old brick and mortar foundation so I should be in good shape.  Most homes are built to deal with the occassional quake but nothing is going to keep cracks and broken windows from occuring.  The real science is in the contruction of high rises, those things can move and sway without catastrophic(SIC?) failure.

It was a 5.4, which is about the height of BrayOutWest, come to think of it.

Actually my best friend from college sells earthquake dampers for a living.  Travels all over the world selling them.  They are for large commercial structures.   http://www.taylordevices.com/

I am surprised you know who Barbie is.  I thought for sure that you would have said Betty Bop or someone more in your range of age.  Could you explain to me what Cher Glitter is?  I don't get your 4 decade old references, sorry.

I am also disapointed that once again someone from California has to ride the back of a Mexican to get something done.  In this case it is a shot at the youngest and most attractive male on the board.  Did you at least give WOW some of your old blankets and maybe some old mountain bikes so he doesn't have to steal bikes from the local elementry school?
