heather sat on the ground looking around while we stood under well supported areas of the house wondering why she wasn't doing those things that we've been taught since the earliest of school years. was it felt in the City? |
|
apparently it was really shallow, so it was felt far and wide. i like 'em too. except the parts where big shit falls and kills people. |

Women and children first.Save yourself.We need you.[its okay to save Nate,too.You might need him for a food source later]Planning ahead is always a wise plan in a diaster. |
Does anyone know if it was felt in Sunnyvale or Sausalito? |
yeah, if you're in a good safe place, on steady ground..medium sized quakes like that are good fun...like a roller coaster. |
That said, I'm a big fan of earthquakes. I think there should be more of them. They keep tantalizing me in the chron with articles about how we're supposed to be due for a big one, but it never happens. |
It was Orshi's first earthquake, and Heather (my Heather? Still not sure on that one) didn't feel a thing. She was climbing down from her bunk when it happened. She actually thought we were making fun of her when Orshi asked if that was a quake while she climbed down. It was fun. Nothing big, but I still did my ritual since the 1989 quake. Feet firmly planted on the floor, hushed up, to make sure that it's a quake. I do that when the cable goes out, too, because the cable went off in '89 before we even felt the shaking. Anywho. Not a big deal for us. Our building is supposed to be earthquake resistant. LS |
it was apparently felt from gillroy to guernville. my heather, paco. mine. mine mine mine. |
|
they used to make us go to a room made of brick walls and no windows, located in the center of the school - usually the projector room for films or slides. all the kids had to sit down crosslegged or on your knees - hip to hip - facing the wall with your head between your legs and your hands cupped behind the back of your head. |

they have no regard for your safety in this state. |
Never had a hurricane drill. Never had a tornado drill, though we had a tornado touch down 2 miles away, twice, once my sister was freaking out and crashed in my apartment bringing all her worldly goods down (I had a basement apartment at the time) and my Mom was driving home from the feed store where the damned thing hit. The second time, the sirens kept going off all night scaring Hayley half to death, but it hit on the other side of the Kansas City River at a car dealership 1 mile from my Grandmother's apartment. Grandma's power was out for a week and a half. |

I don't own them. But they're still mine. LS |
But you're idealistic about women folk. Keep trying. :) |

I have been through 6 (?) tornados. Once in Kansas, it was litteraly across the street. we lived in the country. It blew a few shingles off of our roof, but not much else. The sound of the drains, that is what I remember the most. The sucking sound. I remember when I was in the first grade and we were in nebraska. The sirens went off in middle of the night. my mom, my brother, our cats and dogs all went into the basement. we had mattresses, blankets and flash lights down there, and a battery operated radio. but my dad stayed upstairs and watched the news reports on tv. Just a couple of years ago, Eri and I lived across the street from a siren. One night at like 3am it went off and shook the house. we took the girls downstairs and waited for twenty minutes. When it was over, the cats were pissed because we did not take them with us. |
I dunno. I am not sure if I really have any ideas about women. My ideas always seem to change depending on which one I am talking to. I dunno. I dunno. I dunno. LS |
I remember the old Duck And Cover drills. Now that I know better, those old drills were really stupid. They couldn't protect you from anything. If the blast didn't get you the radiation would. |
