Earthquakes last weekend

[GuaranteedFresh!]

Was wondering how those of you in California feel about the recent quakes. Just another day or time to prep for the big one?
I've felt a handful of smaller earthquakes here and there but the quake we felt Friday night was a whole new experience for us.

A small group of us have been in Vegas for the week and we're waiting to watch the show Celeste at the Stratosphere. While on a craps table I felt a little wobbly a few times and thought I needed to slow down on the cocktails and get off my feet for a few. So I sat down on a blackjack table. Little did I know those vibrations were small warmups to the big show.

About 2 hands in the table started rocking, lights flickering, signs and hanging decor were slamming back and forth. No question at that point it was an earthquake. I immediately grabbed my chips and B-lined it to the exit because it donned on me there was a huge tower of concrete above my head.
We felt aftershocks every couple minutes for the next hr or so. I can't imagine how it felt up top on the BigShot ride.

I heard it was a 7.1 in Cali and registered roughly 6.1 in Vegas. Earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, high taxes and socialists, oh my. I don't know how you guys can deal with it all over there. Y'all are a special breed of people for sure.

Most folks don't realize it, but Nevada is the most mountainous state in the union and consequently, has a shit-ton of earthquakes. Since the state is so sparsely settled, unless you get a real jolt near Reno or Las Vegas, it never makes the news that the land of Dust and Lust was rockin' and rollin'....Growing up in the Bay Area, earthquakes and commies were just part of life. The reason California gets the headlines when it comes to earthquakes is due to the high density population centers right along the coast and the fault lines. Look at the Loma Prieta Quake and how that grabbed everyone's attention, one minute America is tuning in for the World Series between the A's and the Giants, the next minute the broadcasters are shouting and the screen goes blank....

Hold on Boys! Its coming , Fire earthquakes, Tornadoes Hurricanes and Floods all riding on a Pale Horse just for you and me! We shoulda done a better life on Earth and we just F^cked it off with Dope, Bombs and Wars and Bad Ho's and Money Greed

"Behold the Pale Horse, its Rider was Death and Hell followed it"

Might as well get ya a good Vacation in while ya can

Trust me, I strongly protested but my provider of all things sex related stood firm. It was a girls trip and I was the security for them.
Of course, tons of radically overpriced booze helped numb the spidey sense to manageable levels.

On a side note, the Bellagio restaurant Prime serves 12oz Kobe steak for $850 and some bottle of wine for $68k. Yeah, I had the $65 lamb chops and water instead. Unreal.

Hell, I'm the type of guy that would make a stop at the local grocery store for sandwich supplies but it wasn't my call. The girls wanted to do their thing & I was just an insurance policy........and card swiper unfortunately.
