Just finished reading about that. 6.5 is a good size quake.

Wow, I hope everyone's okay!! :eek: I was talking to a former classmate of mine who now lives in Cali, and she got disconnected when that happened. She's okay, though - she called me back. But still... :eek:

The first thing I thought of when I heard about the quake were you (surfy) and Lisa. I know there are probably other Xchangers who live in Cali, so I hope they're okay.
The biggest earthquake we've had here in Buffalo was a 3.1 back in 1995. I didn't even feel it. I thought someone dropped domething heavy. :lol:

I hope everyone is OK. I've never been through one, so I don't know how freaky it is, but I'm sure it's not as fun as Surfy is making it out to be. ;) :p

Thanks for asking about me! Everything is fine here. My friend in Paso Robles owns a kitchen shop in downtown where the quake hit. His place is two doors down from the building that collapsed. He just opened the store a few months ago. I feel so sorry for him. Hopefully there aren't too many more aftershocks causing damage!!!

OMG!!!! I didn't hear about this. My stepson is in Paso Robles visiting his mother for the holidays. I didn't hear from him yesterday. Rest assured, I will be trying to reach him today. Also, my best friend lives in Los Angeles. I'll be calling her cell today too.

I am sick with the flu :p Other than that, the earthquake did all the damage in that area of central California. If the earthquake would have happened down here, we'd be in some serious trouble - Northridge was bad enough :(
