Hi Cathryn,

Here's your earthquake, congratulations. I mapped this out last weekend and I knew Big Bear was a possible, but I thought I would just say nothing and let the cards fall where they might. (You automatically have a 37.5 mile radius anyway, so 8 seconds puts you right there)....Petra

I had the loudest ear tone ever the other night. Here are the details for those of you interested in such things:

R. ear

So loud it would have awakened me had I been sleeping.
Medium high pitch
Electrical quality
