Today at 12.15 am I went into the garage to check the car , hoping that nothing had fallen on it .We had a massive earthquake centered just 50 KM from here , a 7.8 magnitude . It really did shake things up .My house and Boxster are all ok though . We had another 6.6 just a few moments ago .Apart from that it's a nice day!!

Having grown up in SoCal, earthquakes are pretty normal for us. But 7.8 is impressive. Even the aftershocks, at 6.6, are quite serious. I have seen some scary pictures of twisted up asphalt. And sadly, the international news has reported 2 fatalities thus far.

When LA finally has it's 'big one', it will be the start of the Zombie Apocalypse. Good to hear you are okay.
