Author Topic: NFB- 6.5 Earthquake North of LA el ess1 2nd Gear Member # 1544 posted                    All over the news right now...Hopefully no one got hurt. And also hopefully no one's SS got damaged. More important is the people, though. Stay safe out in LA area! Epicenter said to be 200 miles north of LA.

Network, telephones, everything went down. Cell phone service became immediately overloaded. Don't know the extent of the damage up near the epicenter but we were swaying here for quite a while. Longest one I can remember feeling in a looong time. -------------------- Mark H. Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

Shaking, rockin and rollin. Sad to hear there was loss of life though. I remember the Northridge quake of 94 too. I was about 10 miles from it. Nothing like getting thrown out of bed at 4'ish in the morning and flipping on the light just in time to see everything in your room come crashing down.

Looks like alot of damage up in the Paso Robles area, it was a pretty good shaker. Wickman43....Welcome to Cali...you were real close to it in Vandanberg... BadRag [ 22.
