Earthquake!

Dr. Jimbo · 07-29-2008, 01:04 PM

Any of you So Cal folks feel the quake? Kind of a smooth, back 'n forth, rockin' and rollin' up here in Santa Barbara. Lasted for about a minute up here though the quake was over 100 miles away and only lasted about 20 seconds. 5.4, just a kitten of a quake. I was in Chiropractic college in the bay area when the 6.8 hit in 1989. Everyone was in the stores buying batteries, flashlights, candles and alcohol (not the rubbing kind).

Try getting your wheels balanced, Doc (and cut back on the caffeine).

I just saw it on the news. They said it had like 30 aftershocks.

Hey Dudes STEWIE was a "ShAkIn" I was just getting ready for lunch at work when it hit. Not a real big one but it still feels weird to have it happen.

The In-laws said they came through o.k. They lost a couple of lamps and that was about it. They live 6 miles from the epicenter.

Good thing no one got hurt!

will williams · 07-29-2008, 07:00 PM

Java Junky · 07-29-2008, 08:35 PM

My wife claimed that she arranged it for my b,day. I was in the bathroom watching the sinks sway to and fro. Been through 2 big ones, 71 and 94, so didn't get too upset at this one.

s2kx2 · 07-30-2008, 07:05 AM

Our office is around 18 miles from the epicenter and it was a pretty good jolt here.

lonestarbuzz · 07-30-2008, 07:24 AM

Thanks doc. Birthdays don't bother me, as long as I can still get in to my S. Still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

philiam · 07-30-2008, 07:30 PM

Vezna31 · 07-30-2008, 09:23 PM
