Has anyone seen the SAN ANDREAS movie? Based on the expected earthquake to rattle California...Said it might make the state an island by itself.
Whewww that would be a big devastation..
Hi Shay..Nice to see you my friend.
How are you?
I haven't seen that movie yet. I am going to download when I see it available. I do hope it doesn't happen at least not to that extent but we are but mere mortals. We can prevent nothing.
Hope all is well with you!
