Just wondering if anyone on the board was near this: Click Here

It wasn't anything disastrous, which is good, but still. Hope no one got hurt.

XtremePC is near there, along with a couple of other people.

5.x is something you can sleep through. Only worry when they get 7.x or bigger.

Yeah..that's how you could always tell who the tourists were. When we would get a small rumble or aftershock, all the tourists flip out and start running around like they were gonna die. While all the Cali natives just looked at them like they were insane.

Man, if I was in the smallest earth movement I would freak out and get in a doorway or something. But, give me a tornado, and I'll say "big deal."

Glad to hear that everyone is ok. I have to say that I would freak out too if I heard or felt anything like that. I'm planning on coming to CA next year for like two weeks for vacation. Watch something happen when I come there. eek.gif
