Skyman, glad to hear you are OK. And my thoughts goes to those affected.

A close friend and her husband and two kids just arrived in KaoHsiung from SFO on Feb 6 for the Chinese New Year, so when I found out about the quake first thing I did was try to contact them. Thankfully, everyone is OK. They said it was really scary as they were on 8th floor and nowhere to go but to ride it out. Cracks were everywhere on the wall in the apartment.

I am just glad they were all fine. This is the 2nd big quake they experienced in a short two years. We were all in Napa 1 year and half ago when the big Napa earthquake happened, my hotel room was shattered. They were actually in the epic center American Caynon that time, also with the kids! I sure hope they have better luck in the future now that they have survived two major disaster!
