Quite an ordeal. Felt a mover here in SDiego area a few weeks ago. News reported the one you weathered out to be quite immense. Again, glad you are okay.

Glad you're ok, Karen, those biggy's can be pretty scary. Yeah, I'd say a motorhome is a pretty good place to be. Most have pretty good shocks so they just kind of rock and roll with the quake.

HOLY COW! A wicked amount of damage out there! Good reasons to have all plastic bottles of booze and soda and everything else. (Or cans) THAT would have been really scary!

Thanks for that slide show link----way better than any news coverage I have seen.

Any pics of your RV park?

No pics of the damaged RV's..guess I was too shaken AND had to go to work within the hour, or sooner if they would have called us in for the "Disaster". Most of the people have repositioned their 5ers and trailers. Some of the asphalt took a beating from the moving jacks after they fell off their jack pads. Some people had BIG blocks under their jacks those are the ones that fell all catywampus.

Im just glad it is over and life is back to normal...well almost...the mall should open back up in a few days. Im not interested in the mall but some people are.

It was pretty awesome

It was on the news last night and I was shocked by the damage. Never thought of what it would be like to be sitting in an RV and going through one of those movers and shakers. Again, soooooooooooooooo glad you are okay and hopefully you and your fur baby's nerves are getting a chance to settle.
