lolz "Hi Mom!"

A warm off-shore weather pattern in California, while coincidental, is considered "earthquake weather", due to the unusual pattern of earthquakes occurring during this beautiful weather. Did you ever hear of an earthquake in California while it was raining?

Level242, maybe you should go back a few more levels until you "clear." Seriously, Tom Cruise's movie is coming out soon, do your fellow space traveler proud and try not to act like a complete ass just now. I was waiting to enter Candlestick at the main gate for game 3 when I heard some guy say "this is earthquake weather." He had a premonition, that's all. At the moment the quake hit I was virtually alone, in the walkway near the hot dog stands, as most people had filed into the stadium.

@hummlyhummly

Does anybody know what the fuck this guy is talking about?

Clueless? Not so, I was waiting to go in right there at the main gate about 4:30, when I heard someone say "this is earthquake weather." Why would someone just blurt that out? He had a clue, that's why. I was walking about midway between the food stalls and the double-doors to the right infield, I had just put sauerkraut on our dogs, when it hit. I was by myself, basically, but on the other side of that bulkhead thousands of people. It was my birthday!
