So did anyone else feel that quake just now? We got it pretty bad. The water was splashing out of my aquariums! :shock:

I could not feel it through the awesomeness of Larry's tires. :mrgreen:



...or maybe it was just the bad washboard I was flying down...

Can't wait to add that to my next sales pitch..."Yeah, these tires have incredible traction, great treadlife, oh, and they'll protect you from earthquakes... :o :lol:

I was in my garage and it started. I moved to the opening of the garage and was watching my Tacoma bounce around, it was goinig up and down and side to side. I checked the gas meter and other pipes and also the lines coming from the poles. No damage :D.

I was sitting on the toilet doing my buisness when it hit. I've heard that the bathroom is the safest room in a house for earthquakes. It's small so it's stout, and the wetwall is thicker than a normal wall.

I just stayed put.

That's the second time I've been in the bathroom when a quake hit.

Imagine being out in one of those narrow canyons out in the desert when one of those hits. Get away from the walls! :shock:

I actually think it would be interesting to head out and check the condition of Arroyo Seco Del Diablo Canyon and others. I'm sure you'd come across a few sections that have collapsed.

I was out wheeling never felt a thing and no I did not use Larry's tires :D
Heard about it on the radio maybe 5 mins later or so and was wondering why I didn't feel a thing.
