A REAL GOOD RUMBLE

[the fisherman]

At about 4:30 this afternoon I was leaving the boat in Eureka, I had made it up the ramp from my slip when the parking lot started to move around pretty darn good. Just found out we had a 6.5 quake 20 mi. west of Cow Town (Ferndale) there is no power where I am, and I heard talk about a Tusnami warning, I don't know if that is true or not, but I'm going to stick around here until I find out for sure. From what I felt I imagine there is some damage around here, still better than tornadoes.

Just saw it on the news...Looks like a bunch of broken windows a few overturned selves and power outages....
Very glad you're OK Salty.

I guess by now you all know what happened here, there was no Tsunami but I wasn't going to leave the boat until I was sure. I ended up not leaving Eureka until this morning, there was traffic chaos yesterday because of the power outages and some general panic. I have a lot of friends in Eureka most of whom had broken windows etc., so me and my crew spent most of last night cleaning up glass and boarding up windows. When I got home this morning my house was fine I did notice that none of the pictures hanging on the walls were straight anymore, but that's about it. It was a real good jolt, but I was right in the middle of the Loma Prienta deal so this wasn't so bad, I'll take this over tornadoes and hurricanes any day.

This is what I was worried about, I was sure I would find the "ORIGINAL" laying on my living room floor, the dam thing weighs about a 100# we don't want anything to happen to this piece of art, nobody thought a Picasso was going to be worth squat back in the day.
