Thanks... I will miss that election. :(
You both vote for me, twice,,,lol.
I'll consider the apology.
Hang on.
I'll be right back.
Hey! No PROBLEM!
Vote EARLY! Vote OFTEN!
Yep, there is a socalbreakingnews. But, if you join, don't post anything unless it's actually news. There's very little chat in there.. it's business only.
OK.
You live for yet another day.
Ha!
Give me a sec.....I wanna ask you something in FRmail, OK?
Which probably means that it *might* be only a precurser to The Big One, or not.
LOL! That's the motto! You go girl!
Take your dead relatives to the polls too! Nothing like getting people to the polls to vote for your candidate!
I've done water rescue. I'm at your side!
OK! Fire off the ole FRmail.
Local TV (KRON-SF) is talking to someone at the USGS in Menlo Park, CA (by Stanford). He said that the quake was in the middle of the plate and not in the subduction zone (which would more likely to cause a tsunami).
The warning was automatically generated because of the intensity.
Reports from Eureka and Crescent City say there was slight rolling motion. No injuries or significant damage (just palster cracking). They said it felt like a 3-4.0 there.
A person on a houseboat in SF bay (2-300 miles away) said he felt swaying at about 9:20 PDT, which is about the time they said a tsunami would come through. If there was anything, it was< 1 ft tall.
You should have seen our faces when the tsunami warning came over the TV!!!! We called David because he lives in Ocean Beach and he said that there can't be a tsunami because we're playing cards on Thursday!!!
THANKS!! ; )
I gotta go dig 'em all up????
EWEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWw.......
How about the dogs? That would be far easier!
Heck, take Mexican workers too and "help" them vote. Can almost guaranteed they won;t be turned away.
Ahem~
YOU
HAVE
MAIL
!
We didn't feel it in LA.
Scary !!
Did sweet David really say that? He' so funny and entertaining. I could spend days talking to him and never get bored. He's quite a magnificient man.
Your trip to Seattle will be fine. We don't have tsunamis here in California like the SE Islands. (well, we haven't had ...). And off the coast is better than under you. We'll promise to NOT have one when you are here.
