Me, and my folks, and a couple of siblings still living with Mom and Dad just sort of rode the bull, then wordlessly gathered--- at 430AM--- in the family room to view the TV coverage. The shake wasn't so bad at our house... but a mild shake in one place often means that it HARD somewhere else. That was indeed the case with the Northridge Quake.
Hard to believe that was 20 years ago today...

Yeah even though our house was technically destroyed, you and I are both luck because we survived, 57 didn't. Good to hear from you.
