it's on bed rock so I barely felt it. Our area didn't get the damage that other parts of the city did. I'll never forget that day and the week after. Talk about a city shut down, like a ghost town. Then I moved to the East Bay, closer to Napa and we had a good size quake there about 10 years ago. Again barely felt it although there was some damage around town. This one obviously a lot bigger with greater damage. Still earthquakes don't bother too much.

I've known people in Napa and Sonoma who were killed by drunk drivers. I have greater concern for that because it's become a big problem in wine country.

I do thinks it's good to be earthquake prepared.
