Of course.
Where are you? I'm in Eureka.
The most outrageous examples are those who rebuild where their destroyed home once sat, paid for by taxpayer dollars because they asked for government help.
Hmmm. A dislike of California. Sorta like the Palestinians rooting when the WTC collapsed because hey, they deserve it?
So no one should build or live in tornado, and hurricane country or along rivers?
Who said I disliked California?
I'm surprised you could feel it down there. I'm right on the bay and it was just a jolt and a bit of shaking. Nothing even fell off the walls.
The New Madrid Fault Line has been unusually active as well.
Kind of hard to do
and hurricane country
Up to them
or along rivers
No.
Hard to what?
You do know that after studying so many quakes, double vision can set in. I had to read your post twice to get it, ROFL!
Are you okay? Did anything fall off shelves?
You try building your home during a tornado.
Over here for more rock and roll.
FNC is just reporting on this .. *L*
Sure, just shook my million dollar crystal chandelier pretty good. It startled me but not really a big shaker for these parts. Was about 100 offshore and probably deep. We've had much worse in these parts. But the recent activity is troubling.
I don't think that's what I met. Best let this one go.
Everybody OK?
Nothing against California, but if the Golden State fell into the sea we Phoenicians could get the the ocean a lot faster. I'm just sayin'.
