California Earthquake

Everything ok out there, those of you who were participants in
Monday's central California earthquake?


For those who hadn't heard, there was a 6.5 earthquake late Monday
morning in California. The epicenter was located near the coast,
roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, near the town
of San Simeon (home of Hearst Castle, of William Randolph Hearst fame,
prototype of Xanadu, of "Citizen Kane" fame). As I type this, roughly
4-1/2 hours later, 2 are reported dead, and there were apparently
several building collapses.

Wow! Obviously you heard a later update than I did. I guess it is
understandable that there was such serious damage. There are a lot of
old buildings in that area. I'm far enough south that all I felt was
one little jolt that made me think of earthquakes. My daughter, who
works on the 9th floor of a building in downtown Los Angeles, said their
building rocked for about a minute.

Just what I saw on CNN

I was in Westlake meeting with some attorneys. Everything was swaying and
rolling for over a minute. The drapes and chandeliers swayed for another ten
minutes while the vases rocked a little on their display platforms. My husband
in LA didn't feel anything as he was in the shower. There were lots of fire
trucks as I drove back home. Everything was fine at my place. I seismically
retrofitted my house.

Fine here in the Bay Area. In fact I didn't feel a thing, due to the
nocturnal hours I keep - at 11:20 AM when the quake hit, I was sound
asleep! But other folks local to this area said they did feel it fairly
strongly. No damage around here, though.

Down here in southern Cal, I didn't feel anything although there were reports
of people in highrise buildings being quite aware of something going on. I'm
probably a good 280 or 300 miles from that area.

I've always had a warm spot for Paso Robles, having done a fair amount of
cycling through there, and the adjoining areas, when I lived in Santa Barbara
in the 70's and 80's. While San Luis Obispo County is getting gradually
ruined by overdevelopment, it is still quite peaceful and liveable when
contrasted with other less sane parts of this state. It's a real pity that
such a lovely area had to get hit.

I'm also in Southern California (Simi Valley). I felt one little jolt
that made me think of earthquakes and didn't think any more about it
until I heard there had been one. My daughter, who works on the 9th
floor of a building in downtown Los Angeles, said her building swayed
for about a minute.

Purrs and best wishes for everyone affected,
