We have hurricane in the eastern US, and a 7.0 earthquake hit southern California early this morning. Is everybody okay?

The earthquake was out in the desert by Joshua Tree.
The worst that happened was a derailed train. I felt
it for like 20 seconds, and I'm like 100 miles from
Joshua Tree park. I heard it could be felt in Arizona
too.

Lots of rolling...like a very slow coaster. Although out in Palm Springs and closer to the center of the event, I hear it was much more of a sharp jolt. not nearly as bad as the Northridge quake of a few years ago, but then again, it was out in the middle of nowhere.

Oh, it's just a fake news story.

"Joshua Tree"? Yeah, sure. Whatever. You California people think we'll fall for anything. Next you'll tell us your capital is some equally silly-named place like Upper Mongobula or Sacramento.

Pound for pound, Oregon has the silliest names, actually. Check out the back of a road atlas some day.

Doesn't hold a candle to Booger Cat, California (the name of an old mining town).

You never heard of Hongerige Wolf then. And yes, that means Hungry Wolf. And it's actually a village in the Neths.

Wow, the quake made a twenty mile long rupture in the
Mojave desert. Just imagine if there was a city there :P

My brother (anti-U2) would like to see that tree burnt down. When he heard of the earthquake, he asked me: "Is the tree gone yet?"

Grrrrr.........
