Yes, I will come visit you next month. When, what day, and remember, where ever I am, Sliknspeedy is too.
We now know where Conway is, having been through it a number of times this month.

Used to live in CA - been through my fair share (including the one in 1987 or so that knocked out the power during the world series - that one was a real whopper!)
Glad to hear you're ok. Not fun at all.

I believe it was 1989. I was walking on a downtown SF street when plate glass windows started blowing out and ornamental concrete cornices started crashing to the sidewalks from many stories above. The sidewalks were crowded. I saw many folks just miss getting hit from above. People dove into doorways and huddled all over each other until it was done shaking. The sound was something I will never forget. The dust when it ended was so thick you could not see 30 feet. I have been jittery about earthquakes ever since.

Glad to hear you're okay. I don't know which is worse, earthquakes or tornadoes. Been in a couple of tornadoes myself. Would you want the earth to swallow you up or the wind carry you away? Both very scary thoughts!

Earthquake's are much more scarey for me
I was in the Republik of Kalifornia for a couple small ones and no thank you!!! At least with a tornado's you can see them commin and get prepared or at least the storm lets you know its possible where as an earthquake there is no forewarning

My mom had run out for a few minutes (to pick up milk or something). I was in the family room when things started to boogie - I jumped on the couch and covered my dome with a pillow. After it was done, I got up and started trucking for the front door.
Scary stuff!
