Hopefully not until after we leave or else the cost of living is really gonna go up

 

Was watching the dodger game. Everything was shaking. Didn't feel it in Tahoe

i sorta recall that time in 1989 in the bay during the WS ... watching it on TV


The Loma Prieta earthquake struck on October 17, 1989, at 5:04 p.m. Game 3 was scheduled to start at5:35 p.m. at

 

Did they stop the game when it happened? Damn I would not want to be sitting in a stadium during an earthquake lol.

 

@Area51Runner I went out and filled up my jerry cans, took this as a sign

 

No, they played through it. It was a 7.1 100+ miles away

 

True...tho I'm only 20 miles from dodger stadium and it shook our house pretty bad. Our ceiling lamps were swinging hard.

 

... video would be interesting as well

 

Wasn't my first thought lol. Wife and I braced ourselves under the hallway door frame for about 10 seconds until it stopped.

 

understood!, in March my first thought was to keep the damned instant flash flooding out of the basement chopping ice to make own backyard river to the open area between lots, and i have no pics of that
but am getting my truck fitted with a dashCam (tentatively) so that i can share some winter and other seasonal adventures for those interested, livin on the edge!
definitely will NOT be chasing any tornadoes for any of you

 

How was it that made the write up for your timing belt? I think I might knock it out tomorrow finally

 

I think @turbodb has a timing belt write up

 

Can’t get that lucky yet

 

Think this is it https://adventuretaco.com/step-by-s...r-3-4l-v6-5vzfe-also-4runner-tundra-and-t100/

 

Yeah, I went and did a double check on the emergency supplies, both for home and for the taco. For the taco - 3 backpacks (1 medical, 1 survival, 1 clothing), basics and essentials to keep the 3 of us going for 7-10 days if we have to go mobile. For the home, all good but could use another propane tank. Other than that, we're good.

Unless its a load-bearing door frame - better off huddling against an interior wall away from glass and potential falling debris. Or just get under that heavy oak desk/dining table if you have one

Best thing to do, keep your wits and as much as we want to react like this, don't -

 

Actually we do have a solid oak dining table my family passed down to us lol

 

I know they say you're not supposed to go outside but in the moment it always feels like the right thing to do lol.

 

i have never been in the earthquake situation, only tornado

is it not safe to just go outside during a quake? assuming no trees, power lines and that

 

thought of something else I have been meaning to take care of for the e-list. Comms. You know the damn cell network will fold in a heartbeat in the next major event.

 

You need a generator
