You can run, but you can't hide. There's a fair amount of confusion about online reports of earthquakes in the Heber, El Centro, and Salton Sea areas. But the reports do confirm what residents have been experiencing: "There's a whole lot of shakin' goin'" on as Jerry Lee Lewis would have said. In fact, we got up early Friday morning and not by choice. Let's say 5:10 a.m. The reason was the whole dang bed was shaking, so was the bedroom, and the entire house. Makes my teeth rattle. Should I have been worried? Well, there's a zillion pound air conditioner on the roof over our bedroom, and it has moved before during a quake.
