Six, I believe I got a text message from the same person you did!!! I actually called and got through. Just got shook up some. I checked in with my family down there, as far as I know all family and friends are OK. I was sitting right here in my puter chair when it hit and I didn't feel a thing in Las Vegas. Says on the news some did though. Thank God. HUGS -------------------- ICEY

It was about an hour before my cell phone would work - and the house phone too. My daughter got out of UC Fullerton early because a gas pipe broke. She was happy about that. The TV News was showing silly things like a loaf of bread that fell of a supermarket shelf - making a mountain out of a mole hill again! Remarkable though - they still report that people should get under things - like a desk even though this has never saved anyone. No biggie - not this time. Great web-site Carol in PA. Best to all Peedie
