yeah...a local 6.5 would have scared the [censored] out of me. (Pardon my langauge, but I'm just being honest. A 6.5 isn't something to sneeze at.)

Get this, I live in San Luis Obispo. I left this morning an hour before the quake to go down to Irvine to spend Xmas with my parents. I have no idea whether my Axioms, HDTV, Denon reciever, or my 450+ DVDs on massive bookshelves survived the earthquake. And I have no friends with a key into my apartment. My dog and girlfriend are out of town as well. I did not get earthquake insurance (only fire other lesser damage) because it was too expensive, I wonder if Axiom honors the warranty under earthquake coverage?

I worked for Xerox when the Northridge earthquake hit. In fact, that area was part of my territory. Anyways, the Xerox contracts did not exclude "acts of god", so they have to replace or fix equipment damaged by the quake.

When are you going to get a chance to find out if everything survived ok?

When I go back home, maybe Saturday?
Or if I can get my property manager to go in and check it out for me. But I would rather not have them go in because there are some changes I did to my apartment they may not like. And I have a dog that I am not allowed to have and they may find evidence of the dog if they really look around for it. Nothing obvious, but there is dog hair on certain things if they really look for it.

Yikes!
My brother-in-law's parents live in Templeton (very close to San Luis Obispo). They had just left their house on their way to Arizona when the quake hit. They felt it and turned around. When they got home, their big screen TV had tipped over and their collection of fine china was no longer so fine...
I didn't feel it, but my brother was on the Richmond Bridge at the time and felt it swaying.

Templeton is even closer to the epicenter than San Luis Obispo. That is not good news about their TV. I really need to get home. I hope my TV did not fall, it wieghs 230 lbs! I know for sure my dvd cases fell.
