I went through some big ones. My house in the inland empire was spared by half a block, the house in Whittier was even closer. Then the Whittier Narrows earthquake finished it off.

Be safe!

So Cal is my backyard, and every time we get a breeze, the media puts out fire season alerts. Make me wonder if idiots are picking up on those alerts and then go out and set them. I don't know....as soon as you hear it, there one is. I put 2 and 2 together. Guess no one else has yet.
