Massive Earthquake Hits Taiwan
....and my Wife, Daughter, son, and son-in-law, who had been visiting there, took off back for home about 2 hours before it hit...

man, talk about lucky (although I am not sure how close they would have been)...

Glad to hear they got out before the quake hit. Things must be quite hectic over there right now, to say the least.

Dang, Dave!! Stroke of fortune there. No hustle thine ass to the home of whichever god you worship and say "thank you."

Glad they got out safely dude.

After the floods over the past couple years, that's not what the people in Taiwan need

Glad to hear they got out safely.

I had a great time in Kaohsiung two Decembers ago. Taiwan is a beautiful country...Met so many friendly people there.
