mostly broken glass,things fallen over. minor injuries,some peeps hurt at the winery form falling barrels.

from foxnews.com

San Luis Obispo County sheriff's Sgt. Pete Hodgkin said damage reports were trickling in.

"It's the usual stuff, broken glass and stuff. Haven't heard anything serious," Hodgkin said. "Some people are hurt at the Wildhorse Winery, some wine barrels fell over. I don't know anything more.

"It's kind of hectic," he said. "It felt like a big one, like the San Francisco earthquake years ago. The lights went out. We're on emergency power here. We felt some small ones earlier but nobody believed us."

Superintendent Pamela Martens of the Coast Unified School District in Cambria said school had been closed for the holidays, but there are "things off the shelf and all over the place. Computers are down."

Tad Weber, managing editor of The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, about 30 miles southeast of Cambria, said he was in a meeting when "all of a sudden there was a jolting and we look up and see the building swaying. I dove under a desk to wait it out."

Just spoke with Mother in law......they are all fine ;) :phew:

something tells me i am going to have a mess to clean up when i get back to SLO :mad:

PIG, let me know if you happen to hear about any carnage in SLO

Quake Topples Central Calif. Buildings
35 minutes ago Add Top Stories - AP to My Yahoo!



CAMBRIA, Calif. - A powerful earthquake rocked a wide swath of California on Monday, collapsing downtown buildings in one town not far from the Hearst Castle, causing some injuries and a widespread blackout in the remote area.


The quake struck at 11:16 a.m. It was felt as a sustained but gentle rolling motion in downtown Los Angeles. In San Francisco, it rocked the 20-story federal courthouse, with its upper floors swaying for about 30 seconds.


The U.S. Geological Survey (news - web sites) gave it a preliminary magnitude of 6.5 and said it was centered north of the tiny coastal town of Cambria. Cambria is in San Luis Obispo County, about 185 miles northwest of Los Angeles and an equal distance from San Francisco. The county has a population of around 250,000.


"It was pretty sharp," said Sharyn Conn, receptionist at the oceanside Cypress Cove Inn in Cambria. "It really went on and on. I just got everyone under the door frames and rode it out."


The site is only a few miles from San Simeon, William Randolph Hearst's castle. The popular tourist attraction was evacuated as a precaution but reported no major damage.


A block of old buildings in downtown Paso Robles collapsed onto their first floors, police Sgt. Bob Adams told KNBC-TV Los Angeles. Initial television images from the scene showed the buildings slumped but still standing amid debris.


The quake struck on a series of faults that run parallel to the San Andreas Fault, said Lucy Jones, scientist in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey office in Pasadena.


The quake likely ruptured along roughly 20 miles of a yet-unknown fault, Jones said.


"It's luckily on the coast — there is not very much nearby. That's a good thing," Jones said.


The last one of a similar size in the area was in 1952, said Ross Stein of the USGS (news - web sites) in Menlo Park.


The agency listed several smaller aftershocks, the largest magnitude 4.7.


"We'll expect quite of few of them in the next couple of days," Stein said.


San Luis Obispo County sheriff's Sgt. Pete Hodgkin said damage reports were trickling in.


"It's the usual stuff, broken glass and stuff. Haven't heard anything serious," Hodgkin said. "Some people are hurt at the Wild Horse Winery, some wine barrels fell over. I don't know anything more.


"It's kind of hectic," he said. "It felt like a big one, like the San Francisco earthquake years ago. The lights went out. We're on emergency power here."


John Nelson, a spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric, said approximately 10,000 homes and businesses were without power in the San Luis Obispo area.


The utility reported no major damage at its Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant; it was being checked for minor damage. Another utility, Duke Energy, said there was no substantive damage at its two coastal power plants, Morro Bay and Moss Landing.





Hearst Castle reported no obvious damage and no injuries, said Roy Stearns, spokesman for the state Department of Parks and Recreation. A crew was to go over its 150 rooms in detail; the only damage found immediately was a blown transformer at a campground, Stearns said.

The castle is particularly popular this time of year because it is decorated with the Hearst Christmas ornaments.

"People come from far and wide to see that, because it's pretty spectacular," Stearns said.

According to callers on local news radio in Fresno, the earthquake also was felt throughout the San Joaquin Valley.

Superintendent Pamela Martens of the Coast Unified School District in Cambria said school had been closed for the holidays, but there are "things off the shelf and all over the place. Computers are down."

A magnitude 6 quake can cause severe damage under a populated area, though damage is often much less in places with strong building codes.

Tom Marshall, spokesman of the California Highway Patrol in Sacramento, said the timing, coming just after the nationwide terror alert was raised, "does present its challenges, but fortunately the information we're receiving on the earthquake right now so far hasn't caused any drain on our resources."

Here's a depiction of what different sizes of earthquakes do as far as damage.

I'm right on the Andreas fault but didn't feel anything through fault transfer. Then again I'm pretty used to them. We had a good sharp rattle last week here and never heard a word about it.

earthquakes make a hell of a mess at glitter factorys. :(

everybody is ok but the place is a mess. 50 lbs barrels of glitter fell off the pallet racks and exploded on the ground.........sure is a sparkly mess though.


fyi.....we are about 35 miles from the epicenter

so the glitter bomb king, basicly had a huge glitter bomb go off? :D

Were fine here, no damage at hendrix motorsports.

Down town Paso has three dead.

phones not working and no power.

for those of you who know how much of a mess one little vial makes......there is aprox 1/2 oz of glitter in one bottle and that one bottle will ruin a house.


we had aprox 200 lbs of glitter fall off the shelf and explode on the ground.......it is everwhere. :D

No kidding. I'm still trying to get all the glitter out of my camper from Sept. and that was from one of those little vials.
I can't imagine what a mess 200lbs would make. :eek: :eek: :eek:

:D

Camo---- I assume the smokestacks survived !!???????????? tried to call my sister in MB-- the phones are out.:confused:

i assume they are. been busy cleanin up at the glitter factory.have not been around town yet but reports are that most stores are a mess, everything is off the shelfs and on the ground.

the news says Diablo is OK--- but Paso -three dead, buildings collapsed----

One 2 story brick building fell in Paso, killed 3 people. seems to be the only damage with fatalities.

That was scary, Downtown Paso Robles got hit the hardest. I was at work (AA, also in Paso) I was at work when it hit. No major damage there but when I got home (downtown Paso)
I found my house in shambles. I lost: every cup, dish, plate, everything hanging on the wall, even my TV was destroyed.
My chimney collapsed and my toilet cracked spilling water throughout my house. It sucks, but all those can be replaced. My thoughts are to my neighbors who lost their loved
ones in the collapsed buildings of our town plaza. I walked down there a few minutes a go. It was very sad to see the devastation

Now all ya'll have to worry about is California breaking off from the rest of the US.......... To go hang with Hawaii.

Still wonder bout the smoke stacks in Morro ??????/
Instead of ounces of glitter at the Hammers---- next time we'll have POUNDS of slightly 'contaminated' glitter !!!!!!!

Vic


glad your ok as well. good to hear every body is ok.sucks about your house. i understand i just came home to the same mess :(



update..........

just got home from work to find my house in chaos. every thing is on the floor. cupboards are empty and lying on the floor, pantry is a freaking mess. ever thing hanging on the walls was on the floor and broken glass every where. broken dishes, vases, bottles of wine , arrrgg....what a mess. gotta go finish cleaning now



also........went to down town paso robles which is only a few miles from where we live and it is pretty amazing. there are huge holes in the ground where hot sulpher springs are now flowing and flooding streets, the pics that mike posted show the destroyed building pretty well. also saw a car that was completly smashed flat from falling bricks and the top of a building.

stacks are standing but they did have a malfunction at the plant and a fire.


i wish i would have thought to save the glitter off the floor. it was such a freaking mess that the main concern was to get it contained and disposed of.

Just talked to my sis in Morro Bay---- she was downtown when it hit--- the stuff in the curio shop was flyin to the floor as she ran out---- (glass ware and wrought iron)--- her house was bounced around and a few things broken. But she is in the process of a remodel and things are packed up in boxes !!
46 buildings damaged in Paso---

you guys see that building that collapesed on TV? yah thats 300-500 ft from my house....i can see it right now, well whats left of it. using lap top right now, computer, tv, most everyhitng in my house is either in pieces or just plain broken! this sucks!

hey got 4wd,
If I would have tried that San Ardo trail on Sunday, I am sure my jeep would be under a huge pile of bricks. My chimny fell on my work area.
