Tuesday

I'm in the central Sierras and, yes, snow sometimes blocks the storm door. All gas and water valves have big handles on the shutoffs.

I am over 100 miles from a fault, so one night, the home started shaking. A quake in Nevada went right through the Sierras. Go figure.

I actually do have a crowbar handy, more because I always forget to put it back in the shop.

Good luck going forward.
