Yes it did thankfully. 😀 😛 Sorry if I was bit grumpy yesterday. Sometimes taking care of mom and dad and starting a business gets to be a bit much. 😉

😀 😀 😛

Don't worry about it, Kurch. We understand how stressful that can be. 😀 😛

True. The 100 degree day did not help either LOL 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

No, that is a brutal temperature. 😱

I shouldn't complain though its still a lot better then having to live through a hurricane. Hopefully no more Ikes come through this year. 🙁

Ike was a huge one, it filled the whole Gulf of Mexico. Not many that big, fortunately. 😀 😛

True. Good thing it did not hit Cat 4 or Cat 5 status.

😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

One that large at Category 4 or 5 would have been a horrible catastrophe. 😱

I remember only one hurricane causing a lot of damage in New Jersey the whole time I was growing up there. They usually don't get that far north with much strength. 😀 😛

I think the last thing close enough to hurricane status to hit LA was in 1934 or so. Most hurricanes cant make the treck up from Mexico to our area. San Diego is a bit more vunerable.

That's right, you have earthquakes instead.

I have experienced an earthquake while visiting L.A. I was actually in Pasadena at the moment it began.

Hmmmmmmm sounds like it was the Whittier Quake. That was about 5.5 I think. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

It wasn't centered in Pasadena, that's just where I was. It was strong enough to shake the whole building and make the hanging light fixtures move like pendulums, but nothing broke. It lasted about 30 seconds. 😀 😛

Was in 1994? If it was then it was probably the Sylmar Quake. That was about 6.7. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

1994 sounds about right, that was probably it. 😀 😛

Yes it was very early in the morning too about 4:30 am. Was waiting at the bus stop when it hit. 😱

I was sleeping at my cousin's house in Pasadena. She and her husband have since moved to Altadena. 😀 😛
