    Glad your ok Awais!!
    I'm sure some of the people from California can relate to you from past quakes they have had.
    How did you take these pics if your W1 died?
    It happened afterwards?

    Interesting to see photo's of events you don't see elsewhere.

    Sorry to hear of your loss Awais, pictures just do not bring home the whole story do they....... being there, and being directly affected by what's happening is something only you know...... thankfully you are okay.

    What a tragedy!
    Awais, our thoughts are with you and your people!
    Glad you're safe.
    Sorry about your W1:-(, however it's hardly the moment to say anything about the piece of electronics (but since we all fall in love with them...)
    Great shots!

    Good luck and godspeed!
