SLOSH COUNTY: Whitecaps made a rare appearance in the county’s 100,000-plus back-yard swimming pools, as earthquakes washed out up to six inches of water and left cracks behind. “Unfortunately for some, we will have a lot of business,” said Daryl Bellissimo, owner of Valley Pool Supply, who found a seven-inch crack in his own Mission Viejo pool. . . . For some pool owners, “it’s too early to know,” noted Keith Motonaga, owner of National Leak Protection in Anaheim. “It might take a couple of days for people to realize that they are losing water.”
