JIMMY,
Thanks for the concern, But I actually try to make the best of the situation....The Big '94 Northridge Quake...6.8-7.1, depending on who your talking to...I tried to get outta bed(it was 4:19 am when it hit), but kept being throwin' back into my bed. SOOOOO I just practiced my "Bed Surfing" until it stopped, Than I got up, put on my clothes & shoes,stepped carefully thru all the stuff on the floor & turned off the Gas in the Kitchen, Grabbed my Jacket & Flashlight & made my way carefully out of a Pitch black Apartment building corridor- down from the 3rd floor to the Lobby of the Apartment Complex & out onto the Street. The lights where out all over Hollywood & most of L.A. so I remember very vividly that I could see All the Stars above as if I was in the Sierra Backcountry...Very Cool & very spooky at the same time.. I spent the next few hours standing/setting outside with my fellow apartment building tenants, and holding our collective breaths everytime another aftershock rolled thru. Then as the Light brightened in the ea t from the Sun we all surveyed the damage of the area, walking the local streets & seeing what we could see. Once again Very Cool & Very Spooky at the same time..... I do sometimes get scared when a Quake rumbles thru, but having had alot of experiances with them I try to stay on top of things & remain as cool & composed as Possible..... But I'd never wish an Earthquake on anyone... very,very disheartening to feel the Good,Solid Earth beneath your feet turn into a Bowl of Jello being shaken violently....

;~)) Hope there wasn't any damage. Jody and I went thru a 4.9 quake in
B'ham, AL back in the early 70's - scary. Sure glad I don't live in
the "big quake" area. I feel for those folks like Dean.
