Thinking about Earthquake Preparedness

After Tuesday’s event I think most of us immediately came up with a list of things we need to do to our homes to be more prepared for the BIG ONE. Those of us in the Simi Valley will probably never forget the 1994 Northridge quake, but now 14 years later if you have moved are there some thing you need to do that you keep putting off?

 


Make sure to when you get to the USGS page to click on the name of the earthquake to file a report on what you felt.

Simi Valley Cajun Festival Video Blog

[Digg-me]Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend marked the 19th annual Cajun Festival of Simi Valley, hosted by the Simi Sunrise Rotary Club. The unusual cold weather did not keep the crowds away and the event was a big hit with regulars as well as first timers. Mark your calendars for next year’s Festival.

SORRY, My web hosting service was down from 8:30am till 1:40pm today.
The Video is available on Youtube, just make sure to click the high quality link. I load to Vimeo since the quality tends to be better than Youtube. The file size is large so you may want to pause the video for a minute to let it load ahead before playing. Enjoy and please post your comments below and share your Cajun experiences from this year.

Simi Valley Cajun Festival is almost here

For those of you that can hardly wait till next weekend to get alligator on a stick, beer and enjoy world class Cajun Music, here is a sneak preview to next weekend’s event.
