Quote from: Pumamama on July 30, 2015, 10:48:59 PMWow -- thanks!  Yes, we mustn't forget our pets. I just bought some freeze dried cat food. Unbelievably expensive.
Not when you know how much work goes into freeze drying a cat.

Not disputing whether it happened, but I don't think an 11.0 is even possible.  I doubt it would be survivable even if it did actually happen.  What was the name of the location it happened?
puna district big island of hawaii. Most died who lived there, it waz a volcanic earthquake so it waz a magna move

He's discussed it a number of times over the years.

On my way walking back home to the Upper Haight I stopped off at a brew pub and had a pint by candlelight with some other rattled souls trying to take the edge off.  Felt kinda like the bar at the end of the world.

First time I've heard that. But that sounds like one hell of a ride.

I was in an elevator in Sacramento when the 89 quake hit. We could feel the elevator moving left and right as it descended but didn't know what happened until we got in the car and flipped on the radio.

Yeah I had my old mini-radio and listened to it as I walked home.  But all I could get was national news and the way they were reporting it you'd have thought SF had just sunk into the sea.  Only later did I realize that there were several pockets of heavy damage, which consumed all the nat'l news, but large swaths of the city were unscathed, including my 85-yr. old creaky Victorian apt.

Some wacko woman at my work tried to get me to marry her Philippino friend who was about to get deported. She said she would give me $15k to do it. Lol. I declined.

That has led to a couple of friends being pretty happy with the move.  Funny thing is that, when they marry other (American) Filipinos, the green-carder treat the citizens like poo-poo-doo.

Yeah didn't they say that on the 700 club? Almost as asinine as Ted Cruz saying Obama is the number 2 funder of terrorism after Iran.
