Isn't it that you're not supposed to go outside due to Falling power Lines, street lamps, buildings, and trees ? You're supposed to stay in a building, and under a desk or hard surface, so if the building collapses you're protected ? Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I was taught

You act like you've had a car fall off jackstands before... That's crazy talk.

Aerial showing Epicenter in relation to my place

My house is in the upper right corner of this Aerial. The Red star marks the Epicenter.

So, when I said "What I was most worried about is I had a car sitting on jack stands without wheels. So was expecting to find it pan caked on the floor." you can see why.

I thought is was your mom rolling out of my bed again but it kept on going....

No seriously, I was at work in a 50 bay dealership with a parking strutcture on top of me. Cement walls and **** was moving all over the place. Needless to say I hightailed it out of there as fast as I could. Other than a few toolboxes moving about 4 feet that was about all that went down.

Computer was sitting on its side. Plant stands outside all over were knocked over. Window shutters had come loose from their catch's and were hanging open. What I was most worried about is I had a car sitting on jack stands without wheels. So was expecting to find it pan caked on the floor. But all good on that issue.

Walking around the house, I saw a BUNCH of minor cracks in the stucco. Only real repair is the rear porch light was shaken loose from the wall and perhaps one crack that is really noticeable. See picture.

At the time, the wife was in the back of the store at the Chino Hills Bed Bath and Beyond with my grandson. She said she grabed him then ran toward the front door with stuff falling down all around her like in the movies. When I was able to connect with her on her cell, she was sitting in the parking lot still pretty shaken.

Me, I didn't **** my pants. But I seem to have developed a case of the runs.

THIS was an E Ticket ride.
damn,, hope my rims didnt get fucked up! JK!


glad to hear you alright!
