Earthquake(s) In California

October 31st, 2007 No Comments

Last night there was an earthquake in California that measured 5.6 on the Richter Scale. Thankfully it doesn’t sound like there was any serious damage, etc. I was investigating the quake and found this United States Geological Survey webpage that lists all of the recent earthquakes in Nevada and California. Yikes! They happen all the time!

I saw this image on CNN yesterday and was blown away by the vastness of the area that the fires are engulfing. But it made me wonder: “Are there really that many celebrities?”

Hair these days
