Earthquake in New Zealand

Hey Tairaku, how are things there after the big quake (7.8) in NZ? I heard there was a Tsunami warning or something?

People panicked and then nothing happened. I ignored the whole thing. wink

That was just Tairaku stomping foot to keep time.

I was on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco when the 1986 Earth quake hit. The collapse happened just behind me.

I thought the reason my car was swerving from lane to lane was because of the usual high winds yikes

Perry,
   Just a small correction: The Loma Prieta quake was 1989.
   Glad you didn't slow down to adjust the radio station!

Hey even if you fell in the drink I'm sure John Singer, Ken and Phil Gelb would have paddled out in a rowboat and picked you up. wink

I would have paddled out but I was stuck at Candlestick Park for the Bay Bridge Series. It took forever to get out of there!
That was a scary one! yikes

Thanks Elliot!  Wow, that was 20 years ago. I may have been listening to Echo and the Bunnymen on cassette :0
