Re: EArthquake...!
lasted for just a couple of seconds. not really enough to know that it was a quake but we're hoping that was the big one that people talk about. ...and not enough to knock over toys I have at work.

Re: EArthquake...!
Don't forget, today is the Anniversary of the SF 1908 earthquake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_San_F ... earthquakePersonally, I could do without the big quakes! Too messy, unsettling, and too much damage

Re: EArthquake...!
You should always have an earthquake kit at home AND in your car. Ladies, please make sure you have comfy walking shoes stored in your car--can't be walking miles and miles on those sleek stilettos The goal is to be self-sufficient for TWO WEEKS (at least) in the event of a large earthquake: http://www.essortment.com/pack-earthqua ... 30236.html^^^A good description of the necessities. Also, a wind-up/solar powered flash light and radio are really handy for emergencies as well. Candles can be a fire hazard so rechargeable light sources are much safer. Don't forget water purifying tablets and/or a filter. Remember that you can survive 30 days without food, but you won't last for more than 3 days without water (dying of thirst is an agonizing way to go).

Re: EArthquake...!
bigger is not always better and in this case that is an understatement! Glad to hear it wasn't too bad

Re: EArthquake...!
Thank you Living Dead! Yes, thank goodness it was only a teeny quake to mark the Anniversary of the 1906 big one! I hope that the situation is improving for everyone in Japan, and my heartfelt hopes and best wishes go out to you and everyone there!

I think we are just rolling along with aftershocks. A pretty big jolt hit this morning. It didn't last long, but I'm curious if anyone in my collection went for a dive. I will have to check during my lunch.

Re: EArthquake...!
I had three toys take a dive (no damage). But I live in daly city closer to the epicenter. Glad to hear that the situation is getting better in Japan

Re: EArthquake...!
by the way... don't these smaller scaled quakes help relieve some of the "stress" on the fault line, or something like that?

Re: EArthquake...!
I suggest heading over the hill into Dublin , everything west of the fault will snap off and fall into the ocean.

Re: EArthquake...!
Both of today's quakes felt sort of like explosions to me. More bang than shake. Yikes.
