My children? Didn't think of them 'til I was halfway down the steps, then only because they were up and yelling. Oldest boy had to wake up youngest boy and get him going - I was still headed for the door. (Husband, I believe, was trying to decide what to wear. So he doesn't win any parenting medals, either.)<BR/><BR/>I ran straight out the kitchen door when the aftershock at 10:15 jingled my glassware.<BR/><BR/>Yeah.

There was a roaring sound, my honey lifted her head and said blearily, "Earthquake." Then went back to sleep. <BR/><BR/>According to the latest USGS reports it's a pretty high probability (aka "We're darned sure it's going to happen so get ready, darn it!) that we'll have a honking big one (somewhere in the neighborhood of a 7) here in the East Bay sometime in the next 30 years. I live not too far off the Hayward fault and it hasn't let go for a long time.<BR/><BR/>I encourage everyone to take disaster preparedness courses; my city offers them for free and it's so worth it.Jackie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10105589578063308870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-89219596502092813172008-04-18T12:03:00.000-05:002008-04-18T12:03:00.000-05:00The most frightening earthquake I've experienced w...The most frightening earthquake I've experienced was here in CA 1989. I was sitting at a red light when my radio cut out. A second or two later it felt like some dumbass rear ended me. Then I noticed the pedestrians on the sidewalk appeared to be "surfing". On my way back to work the street lights were all out. There were civilians who stepped up to the plate and were directing rush hour traffic at every intersection I encountered. It was good to see that people can take responsibility when it's really neccessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-26105553754280210352008-04-18T11:20:00.000-05:002008-04-18T11:20:00.000-05:00Having lived in California and Japan, I've experie...Having lived in California and Japan, I've experienced a few earthquakes. The best was in 8th grade english class because I could look out the window and watch shallow S-waves travel across the playing field.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the sorta-beagles knew there was an earthquake coming, and that is was going to be too small to worry about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
