Earthquake stories

[golden optimist]

Next time we are sitting around a campfire, lets exchange earthquake stories. I was 75 miles from the epicenter of the Alaska 1964, 9.2 earthquake. It lasted for 5 minutes. There is a kind of neat story asociated with it. I'd pass it on in a campfire situation.

I have been in the drills to save us from the big one. your better off being ready just in case. besides were in tornado and flood zones. mite as well be ready for any thing. every one was shocked to find out how many Bridges were in the way from Indy to Evansville. a big ground shaker and there toast.

1970s in LA--shook like mad and brought down freeways and hospitals bigtime in the SF valley. Orange county in Westminster 87-think of quicksand covered in sand and you got it. Liquidfied the soils,threw water over the 5' wall around my pool,massive electric grid poles waving like leaves in the wind and moved/retired immediately as sic and tired of OC bs--John

i remeber in the 80s i was watching the world seris on my big dish that was in San Fran when all of a sudden my picture went kookie and went off air. i thought some kids were playing with my sat. dish and jumped up to chase them off but nobody was there. i came back in and switched channels to find out of their earthquake that hit.
