Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Hi everyone! I'm here in Washington state not too far from the epicenter of today's earthquake. Believe me, it was very scary!! I've been in a couple little earthquakes before, but nothing like this. My youngest daughter was here at home with me when it hit. She screamed and I just grabbed her and we sat underneath a doorjam. The whole house shook back and forth for at least 15-20 seconds. That may not sound very long....but when your house is being shook like a pair of dice, it's a very long time!!! We didn't have any major damage though. Just to our emotional well-being! LOL Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. Lori Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 15:31:56 -0500 Subject: Re: Seattle... AMEN. Hope everybody's okay and you didn't get too much damage.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 I'm with you, Lori - 15-20 seconds in a 7.0 earthquake seems like forever! I'm a native So. Californian who moved to Alaska (guess I like the earthquake states!) and I've ridden out more than my share of earthquakes. I vividly remember one of the first large earthquakes up in the LA area which caused freeways to fall, etc - much like the last San Francisco earthquake. We lived in San Diego County, but it shook our house so badly that I was not able to walk down the stairs without hitting the walls on both sides! Ever since then I've known just before a quake hits whether I'm asleep or awake ... we had a 5.8 up here a couple months ago and I was up and running down the stairs about 30 seconds before the house began swaying back and forth! I don't even want to contemplate 7.0! I'm relieved there were few injuries - I truly feel for the countries who are not able to build up to " code " ! Teri The game of life is the game of boomerangs.
