We got some snow last night, maybe an inch.

There was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake near Northern California, causing tsunami threats. Jill, im not sure on the situation, but please stay safe!!

Yes I believe Jill is right where it hit.
One of my employees family all live there.
Send out the good vibes #Smorgasbord!

Sorry Jill. Water from your tank or water from tsunami?

I know nothing about the Apex, but the first thing I'd do is unplug it, and make sure it's completely dry. Have you done that yet?

glad you are safe. hopefully someone has some tips for the apex.
 
from my tank. i unplugged it and dried stuff off and plugged it back in....................
Okay, so I would unplug it again. Again, I know nothing about these. But I'll try my best to help you. Is there anyway to get into the insides and for you to clean the salt off? Putting it in rice will absorb all the moisture, but it won't get the salt out and that'll eventually cause problems.
 
High winds and snow must have knocked out John’s power and WiFi.
We finally got some "cold" weather lol. I would love to see some snow though. I've only seen it snow down here about 10 or 15 times in my lifetime. Been busy around here, I hope everyone has been doing great!

Ugh, over 2 hours to get home, much worse than this picture. Going to let my knuckles color up and have 1 or 9 beers. I may be making even less sense in a few hours.
