skybytch 273 #51 December 22, 2003 Quotesomeone from Cambria called and said Hwy 46 has cracks and is no longer flat (he estimated 6-12" differences in height at some cracks) Not surprising... most of that road was built on fill dirt. Parts of the road slide away after a good rain on a pretty much annual basis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #52 December 22, 2003 From Drudge . . . so take it for what it's worth, but . . . Quote Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant Said Not In Danger... [From worker: 'It was quite significant here at the plant. The office areas definitely shook and some pictures fell off the walls and was felt in the control room which declared an NUE (Notice of Unusual Event)]... USGS presser being shown on KNBC (unfortunately I didn't catch the spokeman's name) says that there was no damage at Diablo. Video on KNBC shows a couple of buildings in Paso Robles that have collapsed. Older brick buildings. Downtown two story stuctures. Police from Paso Robles report a few injuries and no deaths. Spokesman for Diablo in KNBC interview says earthquake was not powerful enough to even trigger the powerplant to go offline. Powerplant stayed on-line and continues to operate normally. KNBC has gone back to regular programming.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bshl 0 #53 December 22, 2003 USGS spokesman says mountains running south of Cambria/San Simeon may have been pushed up about a foot. Streets in Paso Robles are an absolute mess. No fatalities reported. Blue skies and happy landings! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bshl 0 #54 December 22, 2003 Just received this e-mail from a friend who lives in Grover Beach and is scheduled for a hysterectomy next month: We now know that our cat is a great early warning system for things like earthquakes. Miss Valentine is still shaking like a leaf. I have never felt anything like it myself, and remember that I was on an upper highrise floor in San Francisco for a major quake there. This one takes the cake. We are fine. Amazingly, nothing broke. Lots of things fell and moved around, but nothing broke, at least that we've found so far. Email working better than phone at the moment, so thought I'd send this message. I'm just glad this didn't happen while my surgeon was operating on me ... Blue skies and happy landings!

fundgh 0 #59 December 22, 2003 I entered my feelings...I live in SLO and felt it good. There is no damage here at my facility but most people that live in North County have left to go check their homes. One employee who lives in Paso said that he had a TV fall off of the shelf and he lost a bunch of water from his pool. Another had a stack of 20 sheets of ply wood fall on his washer and dryer and caused some damage. Other than a few things falling over, I haven't heard of employees homes being damaged. I haven't heard the confirmation of the fatality that was mentioned, but I do know that the building colloapsed in Paso. I think their were two building that sustained major damage. I haven't felt any aftershocks here in San Luis Obispo, but I expect that their will be some activity over the next week....FUN FOR ALL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #61 December 22, 2003 Heard it, felt some of it here at LAX. The building is on springs, so I was feeling a lot of that too. the www.usgs.gov site has a lot of info too.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Racenic 0 #62 December 22, 2003 I'm not talking about Birth control I'm talking about the explosion of new homes and such. Pasadena alone is currently building 2 Apartment complexes each with over 400 apartments. and has finished several new ones totaling over a thousand. Look at the new Housing tracks in the communities near Perris? How long do you think it will be before the homes south (or is it southwest ) of the runway start complaining to the city /county about the noise of the new DC9 And if your thinking about closing the borders... I'm all for that too. Nick Nick D The key to Immortality is- first living a life worth remembering” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph couldn't get through to her parents. Heard from a family friend that it took out the old clock/bell tower in PRB. Steph finally heard from her mom and their house is intact structurally, but the contents are trashed. Everything came down, including the 30-something inch TV her dad was watching. Firetrucks running around, but unclear if that's patrol/survey/damage assessment or in response to a known fire or gas leak or what. Mom-in-law needs to go check out their rental properties. They're OK, but lots of dishes, jars, and her mom's entire coffee mug collection. Don't know about the cat. Ours slept through it, and Kira uttered her first words "What the fuck was that, daddy?"
