Our typing skills after all these hours and at this early hour reminds me of the first all nite threads of the troops moving into Iraq.

Well it seems the news folks have picked up on this disaster so my guess is the East Coast early birds will start posting soon.

That is what I like about starting new threads at Midnight so the East Coasties can pick up relatively fast on the updates while enjoying their first sips of Java.

yes, i remember the Iraq threads, those were fun with the Bag cams and Baghdad BOb news conferences

I've been lurking in NZ for about the last 12 hours. My husband is a native Californian (35+ years) and he said it's caused a flood of memories. I can tell it's really effecting him. We have family and friends around San Diego and L.A. I appreciate all the great updates and reports.
