Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've lived here all my life, and the most recent earthquake I felt was a slight tremor that could have been attributed to someone kicking my desk. Before that, it was the quake in '89. When that "big one" hit, we suffered a great loss at our house... a wine glass fell off the counter and broke. Yes, really. Our house is about 40 years old, and is not tied to the foundation... even this large quake was not enough to cause significant damage. The pictures everyone saw were of a few small areas in San Francisco itself where there was a lot of damage. Everybody else in the bay area was just fine. There are risks living anywhere... if an earthquake doesn't get you, a tornado, a hurricane, a volcano, a tsunami, a flood, or a fire will. -- John Caldwell [email protected] _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
