Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

I'm hearing about a 6.5 quake up off the California central coast a half hour ago. I'm down in southern California right now (Redondo Beach) and didn't feel anything, but if it was really that big a quake a few miles from San Simeon and Cambria, I hate to think what this place looks like right now. Every time I go in there, I can't help but think about what a disaster in waiting it is, in the event of a significant quake. They have some beautiful art glass there, but their insurance company may have a big bill, assuming they carry quake insurance.

I'm also wondering how many of the antiquities at Hearst Castle in San Simeon were damaged.

[Update a few minutes later]

It also occurs to me that this isn't far from the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, the one that was being protested by Martin Sheen and other loons back in the eighties. I wonder how it held up?

"No damage was reported at PG&E's Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, about 100 miles from the epicenter, Stein said."

From CNN.

By the way, anyone who is interested in the California/Nevada Earthquake scene should check out this web site. On an average day there is usually between two and three hundred earthquakes on that map. All small, and most too small to feel, even near the epicenter.
