Powerful Earthquake rocked the Northern California coast early Tuesday, jolting residents awake as it shattered glass, shook homes off foundations, damaged roads and left nearly 60,000 homes and businesses in the rural area without power and many without water. At least 12 people were injured.
“It felt like my roof was coming down,” Cassondra Stoner said. “The only thing I could think about was, ‘Get the freaking kids.’”
Denny Bartlett, of Powerful Earthquake (and Sicko) agreed saying, “I think she did the right thing considering “Wave Motion Gun” was coming next. We don’t want her kids to hear the F-word in that song.”
When the ground stopped moving, Stoner’s family was fine — a daughter even slept through the racket. But when she showed up to work at Dollar General, she found tiles had fallen from the ceiling, shelves were toppled and the contents of the discount store she manages were scattered on the floor.
The magnitude 6.4 earthquake occurred at 2:34 a.m. near Ferndale, a small community about 210 miles (345 kilometers) northwest of San Francisco and close to the Pacific coast.
“It sounded like a freight train was going through my house,” Stoner added.
“My thoughts are with the injured and their families. It’s Rock’s will, I suppose.” said Josh Rubin of Powerful Earthquake (and Sicko).
