Ahead to the past?

Even in NYC there remain some houses built over water and on stilts (wooden pilings). Some of those structures have survived hurricanes, icings and all else.

We’re due for a big 9.0 here on the west coast, possible in my life time ( but that might be pushing it a little).

We have about 20 minutes between the big shake, 5 minutes of 9.0, and when the tsunami hits. My home is safe but we ride the beach on horse back and I subconscienciously think, 20 minutes to the parking lot or high sand hill at full gallop.
