I was working a show in the Atlanta area a few years back in the middle of summer sweatin my *** off, they were having tornado warnings, I was ****tin and questioning should we take cover or something? The locals just laughed at me and thought I was the biggest *****. Then they started talkin about earthquakes and how they wouldnt want to experience one, I guess you get used to your suroundings. And about the California girls..naw, my FIRST wife was from here if that tells you anything
I moved out west from the Midwest... I'll take earthquakes over funnel clouds and ******** storms ANY DAY!!!!!!!
I have a 9MM, a .45 ACP, and a 30.06. The guy across the street has a bunch of stuff, but I know where he lives and am better armed....
It was a Ministry song, Gibby just talked in tongues. And Gibby Haynes doesn't like havin' his name spelled wrong....
My diecast collection got a hard hit! Milners Coupe didn't make it. I have a figure that I painted to look like me that stands next to a Merc painted like mine,and the head broke off,lol....All of my Mercs fell to the bottom of my case,but they're okay. A bunch of stores here in Yorba Linda got messed up. We're all still breathin though!!!!
I did not feel it. I was working outside in the constantly shifting sands.. I did live 2 miles from the center of the Northridge one in 94. That was Mr Toad's wild ride x 10! Since that day I always have a few days worth of beer in the fridge. I only had 4 left that morning. they were gone about 10 minutes after it stopped. It was hell trying to get to or find a store with any inventory left after that quake.
Everything okay at work except some spilled nuts and bolts, but home may be a different matter. Hot rod on four poster lift is not confidence inspiring within 20 miles of epicenter.
I was in downtown Los Angeles on the 14th floor of an office building...whole lotta shakin' goin on (all four cheeks and a couple of chins). I definitely could've used a change of underwear when all was said and done.
Was driving at the time, did'nt even know there was an earthquake. My 13 year old daughter called me to tell me about it. She thougt it was scary but fun
I know Gibby. I am pretty sure he doesn't know how to spell it either. And yeah...It's a ministry song, but there were more members of the Surfers playing it that Ministry. ....Ahhh...To have AmRep back again...back before Austin was overrun with Condos, and there were a few more truly legendary Music Venues around...
i felt it slightly. Then my wife called me and told me about it too. Then she called my son at home and told him. My son didnt feel anything though and he said the dogs werent going crazy at all.
Man, I'll take the occasional quake anytime rather than have tornados, hurricanes, or floods as regular as clockwork. And yes, I married a California girl.
I didn't know my Uncle had so much clout with the big man upstairs. We had just finished the Military folding of the flag and a 10 gun salute for his service in WWII. His younger brother was addressing those at the grave site to close out the funeral when the ground began to roll in waves. Good ol Uncle George letting us know he's OK. HA!
No damage at my place. We are about 20 miles from the epicenter. The ground was moving just like standing on a boat with small waves underneath. Wife, Kids, cars, all OK. I must have had a preminition about it because Sunday I said to my wife that if we were to have an earthquake while my 36 was up on the lift, it would probably fall off on the 32 (cheap *** lift). I moved it off that day. Hmmmm...
was on the 12 th floor of a Music school downtown LA! Boy was that a jolt and then having a bunch of kids running out the doors and out in the open! a few things fell off the shelfs at home but nothing irreplacable! Glad everyones ok!
Whew - just got home and everything untouched - miraculous. Was fearing the worst especially with the four poster lift with hot rod on top of it.
All's well here... It was my 3 year olds first and she loved it!!! ("I said MORE, daddy!!!") Loosened up some rusty bolts on the '57, couple more of those and those fenders are gonna practically take themselves off! Nice. C'mon God, my 3 year old is mad at me because I can't, "Do it again!!!" WTF?!!!
