Shit. Now I gotta sleep with my shoes on...lol. [View all]

4.6 earthquake in Carson, CA (about 20 miles from where I’m at in Whittier.)
Not a big one, but ya never know if it’s just an intro.

Earthquake kits are all up-to-date, stashed at the four corners of the house.
Bug-out bag is right next to my bed.

Long as shit don’t fall on me, I’ll be okay.

Fun, fun, fun!!!
