MorningStar Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Crazy! I was just telling my husband a few days ago we need to take care of some emergency prep things in case God has more wrath for us on top of the pandemic. Moroni looks displeased. Seriously though, I hope everyone is OK! ❤️ 2

First time I’d ever heard of an earthquake. I was living in California then, where earthquakes were an ever present reality. This is my first experience with a Utah quake.

The drift went up to the eave of the house. The porch created a space we could walk down right next to the house so no problem opening the door...it was the wall of snow you hit afterwards. Thankfully not that thick, unfortunately that tunnel didn’t last many pass through. Digging the front walk out took forever though. Took three days before the snow plow could dig us out.

UCLA is located in a part of Los Angeles called Westwood, the Northwest portion of the LA basin. There weren't any skyscrapers or tall buildings when I lived there, and then they built the Federal Building which is very tall. 20 stories? It stuck out like a sore thumb. We used to call it the Jolly Green Giant's Outhouse, to clean it up a bit. Of course anything Federal was despised by we who were yippies, as opposed to hippies. When approaching from the south to go to UCLA, which was the way many commuting students drove to campus, one took the 405 freeway. The Outhouse was situated a little east of the freeway maybe one block. "Sure enough it became "the bathroom on the right. " 🤪 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilshire_Federal_Building Edited March 18, 2020 by mfbukowski 1

It was well before my time, but I certainly grew up hearing about it.

There is a quote somewhere in Mormon history about getting out of Lake Erie during the winter, with the ice so thick and breaking up that it made the passage west impossible. Nearly every year the ice breaks up in the harbor and forms huge mountains of shards of ice floes. As they break-up it sounds like thunder. That harbor is the Terminus of the Erie Canal. Caution, explitives. Mute sound now if that will be offensive https://youtu.be/7hb9lL7WDKg Edited March 18, 2020 by mfbukowski 1

Almost as if the Lord is telling us something Earthquakes happen elsewhere all the time. Why would a moderate Utahn one be any more significant than in other places where Saints are living? If the sign is earthquakes, the Japanese one is a better indicator of end times than this one imo. 2

That's how it was for us kids growing up in the high Sierras.

Maybe this is a sign that we should hitch up the wagons and head back to Missouri.

I think you mean Jimi Hendrix. Prince's song was Purple Rain. Same purple color, similar type of weather phenomena, but different artist, and both are gone from this world so easily confused. But I know Purple Haze well. The intro to Purple Haze gets stuck in my head every time our washing machine initiates a wash cycle. It sounds just like it. Same tone, same rhythm and everything. I'm trying to get the dryer to play the bass part. I'm still working that out. Edited March 19, 2020 by InCognitus

The Nehor Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I grew up in California so used to earthquakes. There was one a few years back in Texas I could feel....barely. Only about half the people I was with could feel it and we were not sure if we could feel it more due to suggestion until we could check records and see that it happened.
