    I just spoke with one of the park folk at LSA who reported it was a real roller, lasting at least thirty-seconds, maybe longer as "stuff kept swinging" for an extended period of time. Items knocked off the shelves at the store over by the marina, and a couple of small water-pipe breaks (don't know the locations), but not too much damage overall. Power is still out over there (1:30pm). The epicenter was reportedly somewhere between 14- to 20-miles south of the infamous Overflow Lot; looks like they're still working to nail down the exact location. The park rep told me it appeared Paso Robles was hit pretty hard ... which is right in the middle of wine country. Something tells me quite a few bottles of Rhone varietals were sent into launch mode.

    Hope nobody was hurt.
