6.4 earth quake in California

We joke but its terrifying when youre in it. I was sleeping in a motel just east of the big one at Joshua Tree back in the 90's. Woke up and the bed was kind of gently going up and down. Half asleep I thought WTF, then it hit me, "Earthquake get outside." Before I cold move it became so violent I COULDNT get out of bed, jsut hold on. Seemed like the floor was fluxing about 3 feet but it was early and I might have misjudged it. When I got to San Diego I looked all over til I found a one story frame motel. Figured I could push some 2x4's off me but 100 tone of reinforced concrete ...not so much.
 
Some injuries and a couple fires. Far from central LA.
"Missed it by that much".
 
Son in Las Vegas called when it happened, I was still tinkering in the shop. Said his house curtains were swaying back an forth about 14-16" I ask if he had been drinking, he said no setting watching TV, when the TV an his chair started moving,...LOL

Looks like Hoover Dam gets a nice one over....
 
God has a way of cleansing.! I beleive I’ve seen it first hand! When the f5 tornado hit Tuscaloosa in 2011 it basically went through every shithole part of town! All the way through and even east of here! That really made me think!
