There were no refrigerators or microwaves in the room I had when I was there. The shul is located just south of Vanderbilt University. The closest hotel to the Shul is the Holiday Inn. I spent Shabbat at the Med Center Inn which is approximately 2 miles from the shul. My son claims not to have caused the quake just to get out of finals, but we are glad to have him home for a while.
Preliminary reviews show damage to Valley Torah HS to be minor.
Does anyone have the status of the other Jewish facilities in Los Angeles. On Thursday Hinda Langer was listening to KGO radio and heard a Seismologist predict a major earthquake in San Francisco within 48 hours. Her husband Rabbi Yosef Langer of Chabad of San Francisco called the Rebbe through Rabbi Groner. The Rebbe instructed them to leave San Francisco. Our Shul in Sacramento was packed this Shabbat with numerous Lubavitchers from San Francisco.
