2. It was a good one - don't know about you guys, but after they're

over, I always feel a little adrenaline rush. Sometimes I worry about myself.

4. Thats normal

its your body just reacting to danger - "fight or flight" and all

10. Thanks for reminding me to finish earthquake proofing my

place. I got the museum wax and heavy furniture straps. I haven't been able to find the hardware yet though. I think we are due for another big one up here on the Central Coast. The last one left us knowing we were totally unprepared. I do have my emergency kit done though.

12. Glad you are all okay! How scary to have the ground moving! n/t

13. I hope you guys are going to be okay down there. we get these

all the time but we have lots of space between things. The biggie, 1964 Good Friday, then pegged at 9.6 and now about 10.4 lasted 5 minutes. That is why it was so destructive. Hugs to you all down there.

14. Burbank checking in-

Not too bad here- nothing fell or broke.
I'm worried about what may be coming though.
San Andreas and all.
My kid is graduating in downtown LA this week end-
must admit, I am a bit nervous about us being down there
so close to this last shake-quake.

17. Thanks, fellow Burbanker!

I work in Santa Monica and was wondering how much house will be when I get home. Glad to know I won't find a bunch of broken glass -- maybe just a few pictures out of place.

15. You got to hand it to Karl Rove, he is really good.

At creating events to draw attention away.

Kudos Karl.

18. Embarassed to admit-

It crossed my tin foiled mind...
DSM hearing and all.
