Unreal. This kind of thing is freakier than a storm that is weeks in coming
It’s not been a good day for a lot of people. Elsewhere in that same train system, another Metrolink train had a crash and a fatality - some car driver ran a crossing, received his just desserts in the form of a train and died.
...which is why so many folks 'd rather live in 'cane country, or out in Tornado Alley than out here in California where we have 'quakes.
Earthquakes don't give you any time to make a COSTCO run and stock up on party supplies, and they can tear down in a minute or two what it takes a mid-size hurricane all night to demolish.
The only upsides to a big earthquake are that it doesn't come with big winds and buckets of rain, it's over in a matter of moments, and it doesn't spend days and days looming off the coast givin' folks the jitters; it'll just sock it to ya and get it over with.
You hunkered down by yourself, out there, or you got other folks there at the house sharing the excitement?
