• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'm All Shook Up!

Hope everyone is okay down there, Robert. I see there was damage in stores.
Everyone down there is in our thoughts and prayers tonight.

Watching the footage, especially the water rolling out of the swimming pool in a video clip on CNN, reminded me a lot of the 7.3 earthquake near Challis, Idaho in 1983.
We were living just north in the Bitterroot Valley in Montana.
I remember being woke up to the whole house shaking and rolling for a good 30 seconds.
My best friend Scott had grandparents living in Challis.
We hopped in his car after that and drove down to help them clean up and make some repairs to the house. :kilroy:
