I'm in California. We're going to slide off into the sea. MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |

Thankfully, the sliding off into the sea thing is an impossibility. However, all of this activity IS on the Pacific Rim, and I am expecting SOMETHING to happen in Cali sooner or later (unfortunately, probably sooner). | |

2 earthquakes of that magnitude so close to each other in time and location. SCARY!!! I'm firmly planted in denial | |

:whew: It wasn't two big earthquakes so close together. The one earthquake was initially classified as 7.4 but later slightly downgraded to 7.2. Tsunami warnings have been cancelled. I'm firmly planted in denial | |
