I’ve been around twisters, floods, hurricanes and Brook Shields(at the airport)...but never been around during an earthquake.

I got in on that 6.5er back in 1971. Found out about it when it threw me out of bed flat on my face. I, too, have been through floods, hurricanes, typhons and all that kind of stuff -- but nothing scared me as much as that cotton-pickin' earthquake -- for what seemed like an eternity, it shook so hard I had one helluva time getting to my feet.

Don't want NO MO of them things. We moved to georgia shortly after. Great!! Now we got tornadoes that seem partial to the Atlanta metro area.

Best thing about earthquakes is that the national weather service is not continually issuing watches an warnings, so when one hits, by the time you realize just what it is, it is over with and no time to get scared. Well, I admit Loma Prieta in 89 was pretty scary even in Stockton Ca, but that's the last one I felt here.
