Southern California Earthquake Damages Tile Showroom
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
“I was scared and running for my life; tile falling off the wall displays and crashing everywhere”, said Melinda, the store manger for Tuscany tile and Stone in Brea, CA. The Chino Hills, CA 5.4 earthquake on July 29 2008 shook nearby Brea, CA, damaging homes and businesses. Though most damage was fairly minor, cracks in walls, fallen over block walls and stucco damage; some areas felt the trembler more. “It looks like a bomb exploded in our showroom”, said Terry, one of the proprietors as he surveyed the aftermath of the earthquake. The trembler devasted Tuscany Tile’s designer tile and custom stone displays.
This was a major blow to Tuscany Tile and Stone, coming in the middle of their summer tile sale. Melinda and Terry could use the communities support in recovering from this disaster; if you are shopping for tile please give them a call.
