Seismologists say Friday's 7.1M quake may have been 'The Big One'
Earthquake expert says that even after this 7.1M quake, there's a one in twenty chance that there will be another SEVEN OR GREATER!

A Quake! A Quake! - Animaniacs
People with a great sense of humor will enjoy this. Others need not watch!!!

mrgreen: That is a funny cartoon and it might actually help kids who were upset by the earthquakes to be a little less frightened. Great find! The slapstick humor was hilarious!

Yesterday there were 3 electric rigs outside and I think they got the last of the remaining houses without electricity turned back on. I only felt two significant aftershocks last night. They seem to be calming down to less severity and frequency.

I found out that they are giving away water at the school last night and took several people over there in my truck who didn't have transportation.

Half of the people I know have left town. It's been really quiet here. The lights from the plant were back on last night but you still don't hear machinery running like normal, which is really nice.

It was amazing to hear all the untrue rumors that people made up. Seems like each time a person tells a story they embellish it and add to it.

If the water were on we would almost be back to normal.

Does anybody know how long it's going to be off and when they expect to have it back on?

Forgot to mention, in addition, in addition to water, there are also port-a-potty's at the high school.

City of Trona faces recovery following 7.1 magnitude earthquake
I agree with surfsteve, the biggest question right now is how long before water gets turned back on. It's hard to get by without water flowing from the tap!

I would love to have about 5 gallons of water to wash all the remains from the broken jars off my floors and take a sponge bath. Going to run out of clean laundry soon so I hope it comes back on before that happens! If I had another 5 gallons I would use it to flush my toilets. Bathroom is getting pretty smelly!
