Earthquake tonight

Ouch ... nasty ... sounds like its done a fair bit of damage and I sure hope aftershocks or another quake do NOT happen ...

I've experienced heavy duty rumbling shaking of a bigger earthquake, not damaging though, just aggressive shaking ... though a big semi trailor truck had run into our fourplex ... Vancouver probably about 1975/76 ... I packed up our whole two bedroom apartment, got rid of all my furniture and was moved to Winnipeg in TWO WEEKS!!!! Ran home to mommy with my baby girl schnell. Scared the crap out of me, obviously

My youngest kids dad lives San Fransisco, now Oakland, was still in San Fran when that bad one hit there, sometime around 1989 or close to that year? His house, baker St, near Haight Ashbury area was violently shaken up (a glorious old 4 story Victorian as are many houses there) ... insane scarey time ... our daughter saw the news, shew was 5, and came yelling and running to me "Mommy mommy, Daddy Daddy earthquake San Fransisco ,.... " we were both pretty sacred and worried about John, we couldn't get through down there by phone of course, until he was finally able to call us hours later and tell us he was okay and so were other family members and friends ... earthquakes, wow, THAT one was a very bad one Those bridges. Awful. My little rumbles nothing compared to that, but the violent shaking and weaving/waving apartment we were in was .... well ... furniture walked by themselves ... intense.
