Hi There!

Felt like I was falling forward on my chair!

It was pretty strong!

I didn’t get it here in Nashville. (I recall going between Luke and Vandenburg getting a rumbler from time to time) I hope everyone is OK. :^)

Try very hard not to be in the shower during an earthquake!

Real hard.

Gotta believe that it was at least a five, and Long Beach went up, sideways, the other way, and up some more...

Walter Matthau was on Johnny Carson once and he related that he had taken a pill to help him ... empty his colon. He was sitting on the throne when a 7.5 or so quake happened: Wow, that medicine really works!!
