----- Fire At R-a-p ?? -------
 
what happened? At around 12ish fire alarms went off, and everyone was evacuated. maybe 15 minutes later, the fire department was there, and they started busting a hole in the wall!! What happened? I heard there was smoke coming out of the wal :confused: ... Any news would be great!

rbdesigns 08/18/2007 03:31 PM

sarwa 08/18/2007 03:34 PM

Overloaded circuits... too many metal halides on at one time :D

wsun083 08/18/2007 03:35 PM

hope everyone is alright, that's scary.

chaffey 08/18/2007 03:35 PM

sound like it, saltwater probably leaks into extension.

SLO180 08/18/2007 03:41 PM

rbdesigns 08/18/2007 03:45 PM

I just spoke to pookstreet, he said they let everyone back in. I'm heading over right now.

SLO180 08/18/2007 03:52 PM

BeeBoo 08/18/2007 04:15 PM

is it still worth going? i'm about an hour away...

Emoezekielsr5 08/18/2007 04:43 PM

very worth it. sooo many good deals...picked up a labouti wrasse for 25

Primetime33 08/18/2007 05:37 PM

heh.. the alarm was going off for at least 15 minutes before we were evacuated. I was at Kenny's booth 30 minutes before the alarms went off and we smelled smoke . We looked under his table to see if we could see any issues and nothing was wrong. Then the alarms went off. Everyone was told to go out in the scorching heat. The food vendors outside cleaned up on everyone buying refreshments. We had to wiat outside for about 30 minutes then they let the vndors in so we could reorganize. Then the attendees were allowed back in 5 miunutes later. The place is packed with people. Some good deals are to be had there on everything. Tons of beuatiful corals. Not much in terms of dry goods IMO. Had a good time. Had to leave early due to family commitments and I am just plain tired. But I did get a small cali tort and ore Tort from wishintobeoutside/Richard. :)

$60-120 depending on lineage.

fish 511 08/18/2007 06:18 PM

ohhh, overloaded circuits. I figured it had something to do with the halides :lol: . Sorry if i scared any of you, i did not mean for it to come out that way. Since I just live in huntington, I got my money back and left. I felt bad for the vendors, but I'm glad to hear they got it going again. :)

Tachyon 08/18/2007 06:19 PM

it was i'd say 30-45 minute downtime.

fish 511 08/18/2007 06:23 PM

it seemed like we were outside for more towards an hour. But when you're with someone who doesn't want to be there it could seem like two days :rolleyes: .

Scissorhand 08/18/2007 06:25 PM

I hear ya. That's the last time I bring someone who isn't into reefing with me.

Was that the girlfriend you dragged around? I saw a lady carrying her 1 month old in that heat. It was fun, Fish Supply got a ton of nice deal on fishes, so they went quick.

Kevin at OC Aquatics gave me a nice deal on a red blasto, thanks Kevin.

chaffey 08/18/2007 06:48 PM

lucky I didn't go, I was thinking of taking my wife/daughter; it would be a nitemare hearing my wife complaining.

wow, sounds like a mess :(

Nizmo350Z 08/18/2007 06:53 PM

It wasn't so bad, no one seem to complain about the wait. Well at least the lady that owned the hotdog stand. :D

Yeah that was her. She's on some stupid detox program so she was pretty tired.

Chaffey, don't try to make yourself feel better man. You missed out on a bunch of great deals. Hah hah.

Miguel & Fraggle Reef probably had more aussie acan than half the show combined. They're cool and generous as well. I got out of there quick otherwise my wallet would have gotten a lot lighter.
