We feel blessed. First we heard the freight train coming. And we knew.
Then the world shook, seemingly for ever. Lights off. Things crashing
off walls and cabinets. We just froze like dummies. Should have ducked
undercover. All our utilities restored by mid-afternoon. Local tv saying
the stringent construction codes have paid off as less structural
damage than 1964. Our house built 2011. It was a big experience. Learned
a lot. It was so violent even long timers had not experienced such.
How fortunate that they are able to write to you. I saw pictures of cracked roads, am surprised no one died during this quake.
