Yucaipa Music & Nightlife: Thanksgiving Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Last weekend my neighbors mounted a giant inflatable Santa on their roof, so that must mean the holiday season is upon us. The first of the local Christmas events are this week, and there will only be more as December progresses. If only it would snow!

Storm Troopers Invade Yucaipa!

OK, not really. But the 501st Legion - aka "Vader's Fist" - will be appearing at Chapman Heights Elementary on Wednesday, November 19th from 6pm-8pm. The event is "Family Night" for the school's first ever Book Fair. It sounds like a fun combination of books and SF - two of my favorite things!

The Book Fair itself is running from Nov 17-21 from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Thanks to chairperson Erik Sahakian for the tip!

Massive Earthquake Tomorrow!

At 10am tomorrow is the Great Southern California Shake Out, in which organizations across SoCal pretend there has been a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the Southern San Andreas Fault. That would be a bad one:

In an earthquake of this size, the shaking will last for nearly two minutes. The strongest shaking will occur near the fault (in the projected earthquake, the Coachella Valley, Inland Empire and Antelope Valley). Pockets of strong shaking will form away from the fault where sediments trap the waves (in the projected earthquake, it would occur in the San Gabriel Valley and in East Los Angeles).

Considering that the San Andreas fault runs near the edge of Yucaipa, we'd definitely be hit hard. It sounds like a regional disaster drill is a good idea.

So be forewarned: are out and about near one of the drill sites tomorrow you may see scattered bodies and emergency vehicles. The closest site to us is the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, which will also have related presentations about earthquakes (9:30am-1pm).

Loma Linda University Medical Center is also participating in a full scale drill.

Vote Tomorrow

I was going to blog more about the election, but honestly, there has been so much ugly campaigning over the past month that I haven't been able to bring myself to write about politics. Fortunately our City Council election has been pretty mud-free.

Anyway, go vote tomorrow. If you do, you can get a free Starbuck's coffee.
