[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 163275, member: 47"] So what happens if the Weather Channel goes off the air mid beep?? I don't know if I could handle minute by minute updates on impending doom and disaster. One small warning it was headed my way would be good enough for me. I remember I was 20 when the Sylmar quake hit - my first one living in LA and very un nerving when your eyes fly open and plaster is comming down from the ceiling. Tried to get to the babys crib, kept falling down - literally picked her up and threw her under it and went for the door way. Seemed like it lasted for hours although it was only a few seconds - stuff falling over, everything falling out of the cabinets. Me screaming the entire time - called my mother in PA, still screaming with terror during the aftershocks - why, who knows, not like she can do anything 3,000 miles away LOL Now that I am much older, and have been thru a few, handle them more gracefully, no longer screaming, only sound leaving my mouth is a bunch of eff words, although the Big Bear one did have me barreling down the hall and thru the front door in a Tshirt I grabbed. Didn't realize it was one of dex's till one of the kids says mommy, you forgot your pants... Marcie [/QUOTE]
