It was horrible seeing people driving and their vehicles being swept away.

The worst part was watching those get swept away who had seen it coming, knew what it was, and were trying to outrun it.

Lots of good conservatives, represented in Congress by strong conservatives live near and on the coast in Orange County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County (vacation home of Ronald Reagan) and San Diego County.

Earthquakes? OOOooooooo, gee, those would scare me.

.

.

I live in San Francisco and have shook, rattled and rolled on these wonderful hills ALL MY LIFE! Sometimes I have to wonder if it's a huge truck ... or the quake.

My three particular hills we lived on were shale and some SOLID rock, so they didn't slide. They just shook, rattled and rolled. Hey, that sounds like the name of a great song!
