Tsunami Warning!

So, I was just about to sit down and blog a little when my e-mails started piling in. TSUNAMI WARNING!

As I have said in the past, one of my hobbies is monitoring public safety radio. Comes from my past work life. Anyway, with that monitoring comes my participation in several online groups related to the topic. We let each other know about major events to monitor (and ONLY monitor) in different areas. Things like brush fires, pursuits, things like that.

Anyway, tonight was the possible Tsunami. As a result of a 7.0 earthquake off our CA coast there was a possibility of a tsunami being generated. Warnings were issued and blasted all over TV and radio. I live in a coastal city, but am a few miles from the coast so I was not really worried, but it was a fun hour of excitement!

I can remember when I was gambling I would actually get UPSET when a brush fire would require evacuation of the casino. See, all of the casinos here in Southern California are in fire prone areas so the evacuations were not uncommon.

It was a lot more fun sitting here listening to it all tonight than being mad because I couldn't place another bet.

Not much else to say. Have a good night all.
